SYDNEY DOCTOR DEFENDS YORONOFF GLAND TREATMENT, SYDNEY, Monday. Answering criticisms that Dr. Voronoff's gland grafts cause temporary j stimulation, only to leave an ultimate j adverse effect on growth, Dr, Leighton Jones, whb introduced the Voronoff gland rejuvenation to Australia, claims that although the effect wears off after five years, it leaves the patient in the same condition as before the operation. "In Franee," says Dr. Leighton Jones, "I met a dozen people who had been grafted up to five years previously. They all stated that they had derived great benefits, and some were desirious of a second graft. "In no case was there evidence of retrogression in any form. The ages of the patients ranged from 40 to 80. • _ The operations I have performed myself have been uniformly suGessful. It is a simple operation, abso- = lutely free from danger. Experimettts on Sheep. 1 J "The Development Commissioner of Edinburgh University, in a recent re- !• port on the effeets of the Voronoff rejuvenation method on sheep and wool, expressed the opinion that sixgland grafts on youthful animals caused temjporary stimulation orily,and adversely affected growth. "In the Algerian rams suecessfully grafted by Dr. Voronoff in 1924, and also in the case of offspring from these rams, he found, two years later, an increase of up to 20 per cent. in the weight of the fleece, a lengthening of the staple, and a finer texture of the wool compared with that of non-grafted rams." ==============
