Vie et rajeunissement: une nouvelle méthode générale de traitement et mes expériences de rajeunissement de Bologne et Paris

Abstract

THIS is a communication made to the Society of Medicine of Paris with discussion and author's reply. The new method of treatment is the subcutaneous injection of the serum of the efferent vein from the testicle of a young healthy animal. It is stated that the internal secretion of the testicle flows into the blood stream so soon as it is formed, and there fore the serum is more potent than an extract of testicular tissue. Remarkable rejuvenating effects are claimed. A record of cases with photographs is given, showing that the effects last for at least two or three years. It is suggested that the effects are due not to a temporary stimulation which would use up the existing available energy of the body, but to the improved nutritional state of the central nervous system, especially the spinal cord.
