Apart from the genuinely happy tone of his letters to Dr. Brinkley, the
phenomenon of the darkening of the hair strikes most sharply on the
attention. Perhaps our satisfaction in this particular piece of evidence
of rejuvenation is due to the fact that it is an objective proof;
something visible to the eye, tangible; something for which we are not
required to take anybody's opinion, but can trust our eyesight for the
fact of it. It is something in which the psychic factor, the feelings,
the imagination, the auto-suggestion, does not enter at all, and that is
why it is exceedingly well worthy of note. Looking back over the years,
and casting up in your minds all the people of sixty and seventy years
of age whom you have known, can you put your finger on a single one
whose hair turned in color from white to dark and at the same time from
thin to thick? You probably cannot. Nor can the writer. It is reasonable
to conclude, therefore, that the goat-glands alone have done this thing
in the case of Mr. Ernst.
CHAPTER VI
THE STORY OF CHANCELLOR TOBIAS
We must go to the pages of +The Chicago Evening American+ of date August
18, 1920, for the story of Chancellor Tobias, written by Lloyd Lehrbas,
of the American staff, with a brief introductory note, as follows:
(Here is one of the most remarkable news stories ever published in any
Chicago newspaper. So startling is its detail that +The Chicago Evening
American+ in the interest of absolute accuracy submitted it to the
person most concerned for his approval, so there can be no question
concerning the facts, scientific or otherwise. Other men and women
involved are not mentioned because the facts being established in the
most important case, it is not considered necessary.)
Goat interstitial gland operations have been successfully performed on
J. J. Tobias, Chancellor of the Chicago Law School, and thirty-five
other Chicago men and women by Dr. J. R. Brinkley, of Milford, Kansas,
who has been in Chicago for the past six weeks, performing the
operations every day.

An alderman, a well-known political figure, living on the Gold Coast,
a judge, a prominent real estate man, a newspaper man, three women, one
of whom is well known on the North Shore, and other Chicagoans, have
found the lost Fountain of Youth as a result of the miracle-surgeon's
transplanting the revivifying interstitial glands of a goat into their
human bodies.
The story of Dr. Brinkley's knife magic is the story of a surgeon's
study and experimenting for nine years, ending with the successful
accomplishment of the gland operation performed on thirty-six
Chicagoans, who are alive and healthy today.
The complete story, with laboratory data, the name of one of the
prominent patients, and an authorized interview with Dr. Brinkley is
told for the first time in +The Evening American+ today.
