In earlier operations Voronoff had failures because the transplanted portions were too thick and died before they could knit up with the human glands. Within a few weeks the new tissue becomes continuous with the old, and its hormones begin their beneficial flow. Blood pressure diminishes, sight improves, metabolism is intensified, muscles regain their spring, and new hair grows. Voronoff told the surgeons that a great park is being constructed...
