Brinkley, John Richard, 1885-1942; Transplantation of organs, tissues, etc.
In ordinary cases of gland-transplantation into women, where the patient
is in good physical condition, with no disease of the organs, the
operation is as simple as in the case of the man. The speculum discloses
the condition of the vagina, and the insertion of the new ovary is into
the mucous membrane of the vagina, leaving the goat-ovary about four
inches distant from the woman's. The only incision made is a small one,
about one inch long, painless under local anesthetic, the purpose of the
incision being to get a blood supply for the goat-ovary. Sometimes one
ovary is implanted, sometimes two; invariably the new ovary is trimmed
to a reduction in size. Invariably it is implanted within twenty minutes
of its removal from the nanny-goat. Unfortunately for the goat, the
removal of her ovaries usually costs her her life. She mopes for a few
days, refuses to eat, and dies. She is always given a general
anesthetic, and the removal is painless at least, if fatal. Pursuing the
conclusions drawn from his long experience, Dr. Brinkley has found that
women derive more instant benefit from the glands than men with respect
to their awakened enthusiasm, improved appearance, and recovery of the
feeling of poise and well-being. Very noticeable is the change of figure
which follows the implanting of the new ovaries in the case of a fat
woman. The change is equally marked in the case of a fat man. A man of
abnormal weight, 250 lbs., lost fifty pounds in two weeks following the
operation, during which time he remained at the hospital, feeling well
and strong, but shrinking in girth amazingly. When he left the hospital
his clothes hung about him in bags and folds. The fat woman's spirits
seem to rise as her weight decreases, and she feels as if she had indeed
regained the buoyancy of her youth.
