...years ago a Frenchified Russian, Dr. Serge Voronoff, and a Kansan who almost became Governor of his State, Dr. John Richard Brinkley, made fame & fortune by grafting monkey and goat glands into decrepit males.

Previous Liverpool and North American record was a 788-pounder caught last August by Dr. John R. ("Goat Gland") Brinkley of Del Rio, Texas. Last month Mrs. Earl Potter of Brookville, L. I. won the women's world record there with a 757-pounder, lost it next day when a 760-pounder was caught by Mrs. William Chisholm of Cleveland, Ohio...
