"The natural span of life is 140 years, and I have every hope that one day we may prolong it to this period," declared Dr. Serge Voronoff, the famous exponent of rejuvenation here. "Everybody who dies between the ages of seventy and ninety Is a person who Is 'killed'," Doctor Voronoff Vor-onoff added. "The problem Is to find out how not to be so 'killed.' "Between sixty and seventy Is a critical period. Death is awaiting us. Those who wish to survive In the unequal struggle have but one means of gaining their end to replace re-place their worn-out glands with young and active glands, which will impnrt a new impulse to the cells of all our organs, causing them to create new young cells and thus rejuvenate re-juvenate the whole organism." His Methods Recognized. Doctor Voronoff declared that the most eminent experts now recognized recog-nized the efficiency of his methods and thousands of operations were being performed In Europe, and also In Japan. The only difficulty was procuring an adequate supply of animals for the purpose. The ordinary or-dinary monkey was not suitable, the specimens of the genera required being the gorilla, orang-outang, chlmpnnzee or gibboon. Together with his beautiful young wife, Doctor Voronoff intends to go to Java, where he will spend some time conducting experiments on the blood of the orang-outang. Afterwards After-wards he will go to Indo-Chlna to conduct similar research on the gib-boon. gib-boon. Different Blood Types. Recalling his early work, the doctor doc-tor said that at first he presumed that the blood of monkeys was of one type instead of the four types present in the human being. Some of the early experiments were not very satisfactory, but after long research re-search he found that the monkeys had four types of blood also, corresponding corre-sponding to those types found In humans. He therefore altered his methods meth-ods to Include tests of the blood both of the patient and of the animal ani-mal to make sure that the types of blood corresponded. Then he grafted graft-ed onto the human being the thyroid, thy-roid, pituitary and sexual glands of the monkey. The results, he claims, are "highly "high-ly successful." The change observed in the aging human being could only be described as "something marvelous." |
