Summary: "The Goat-gland Transplantation" by Sydney Blanshard Flower is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the controversial medical practices of Dr. J. R. Brinkley, who performed over 600 surgeries involving the transplantation of goat glands to rejuvenate both men and women. The content centers on Brinkley's theories about the relationship between sex glands and vitality, and the claims made about his procedures' success in restoring youth and treating various ailments. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage by discussing the historical context of gland transplantation and its rejection by the mainstream medical community.
