...frequent than true ones. In them the glands are of a sex opposite from the person's general character and configuration. The genitalia may be a confusion of imperfect male & female parts. These defects may sometimes be remedied by surgeons to bring the pseudohermaphrodite into line with its glandular sex. In no case on record, though, has the patient subsequently succeeded in producing a child. In glandular males, undescended testicles are brought from the abdomen into the scrotum. If a phallus exists, bound down by adhesions or imbedded in flesh, delicate plastic work may free it sufficiently for male...

Thereupon surgeons started a series of major operations to release the latent seeds of manhood. Last week it was announced that the final touches will take place in October after which Clara...

Once, she says, a doctor warned Nijinsky that he had a curious glandular arrangement but she slides over this point in her effort to set up Diaghilev as the cause of Nijinsky's madness. Diaghilev was so jealous that he refused to let the dancer have any friends outside his own inner circle. Wlu'le others were paid prodigious salaries, Nijinsky was given only enough to take care of his mother in St. Petersburg. When the Ballet started for Rio de Janeiro, Diaghilev's fear of the sea kept him in Europe...
