I can assure you it is doing most constructive work, for which the entire profession should be grateful.

Already in the U. S. some 8,000 men have undergone this operation. Many of the operations were performed by Dr. Harry Benjamin of Manhattan. This young man (aged 41) is an imaginative surgeon. His face is powerful (jaw muscles firm; lips a straight, decisive line; eyes boring). He combines knowledge with insight, skill with daring.
