TORING YOUTH, ·
AN ENTENTE CORDIALE.
NTISTS AND THE T OF PROLONGING
LIFE.
Serge Voronoff, Director of a Laboratory of Physiology at 6 College de France, made contly to the Surgical Congress eld at Paris a startling com- hunication, which may possibly be the solution of the dream of scientists of all ages, viz.. to prolong life by restoring youth to the aged.

rendezvous now, not only of the Catholic and French worshippers, but of Englishmen and English women.
He sees no reason why, by grafting the interstitial gland of a monkey on an old man, his youthful powers and vigour
should not be restored to him.
Dr. Voronoff has already been Buccessful in grafting organs of monkeys on to human beings, and he expresses great confidence, in his new discovery.
The interstitial glands belong to one of a set of five minute glands hidden away in various parts of the human frame.
At the last meeting of the British Association Professor Keith pointed out that these minute glands have only recently come to be recognised as parts of the machinery which regulates the growth of the body.

Knowledge of the existence of the substance of the interstitial gland is many years old; the evident which leads to the belief that this scattered element is directly concerned with the mechanism of growth is of quite recent date.
·Profesker Keith saps. "In sceking for the mechanism which shapes mankind into namus, we must take the interstitial glands into our reckoning."
The Collog de France is an ancient and honourable seat of haring, and Dr. Vorunof. its present professor of physiology, is an accomplished scientist.
But neither the dignity of the nay, nor progressive spirit of the other, will suffice to give more than a passing interest to the announcement, telegraphed from Paris yesterday, that life and vigour can be prolonged by graft ing the glands of the lower animals into human beings.
This expedient is not new. The late Sir Victor Horsley was, I believe, the first to investigate its possibilities, and the conclusion at which he and his co-workers arrived was that the results, though good, were very ephemer al. and that in order to obtain any real benefit, constantly re- pcated grafting operations were necessary,
It was then found that results equally good in their immediate effects could be obtained by taking extracts of these glands by the mouth or by injecting them under the skid so that, except in the very rare cases in which the oral or subcutaneous methods cannot for some reason be tolerated, grafting operations are now never practised.
miss, for I don't understand a word, but the Frereh folk were mighty good to me out there. so come here to say 'Thank you, as it were."
