...sensational reports, said Dr. Carl R. Moore, of the University of Chicago. The rejuvenation effected appears to be temporary. Grafting of male glands inside the bodies of rats, rabbits and guinea pigs resulted in the degeneration of the transplanted glands. The animals were sterilized by their own body heat...
...Laplace in the 18th Century, has now largely been superseded by an entirely new theory of origins known as the "planetesimal hypothesis," and largely developed by Dr. Chamberlin. The earth probably never passed through a gaseous state. Volcanic action is local and arises from special causes. The earth's heat is not a legacy of a white-hot star, but the product of transformations of substance deep beneath the crust. Life has been continuous through all geologic ages, and has not been periodically destroyed or renewed by catastrophes. Cold climates have probably alternated with warm ones, but there...
...takes Mother Nature some millions of years, by a combination of extreme heat and pressure to produce rocks, minerals and other hard things. Science is doing the same thing now in a few hours. Granite and jade have been made synthetically in a single working day at the geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D. C. The substances known to be contained in the mineral desired are poured into a small platinum tube sealed with solid gold, which is placed in a "bomb" of the finest steel, along with a small electric furnace made of rubies. Heat...
...differentiates between the various methods of "youthifying," i. e., vasectomy combined with vasoliga-ture (the Steinach operation), the implantation of tissue from gonads of other human beings or from animals (Voronoffs operation), the application of X-rays (useful with women), Kammerer's suggested methods of stimulation by electrical heat. He devotes some chapters to Steinach's rat experiments, as well as to numerous human cases from Lichtenstern, Schmidt, Chetwood (American urologist). Useful appendices are a glossary of technical terms in Steinach literature, and a "Who's Who" of persons prominent in connection with rejuvenation methods...
...Ions" (Greek for "traveler") are not, as might be supposed, separate entities or still smaller components of the atom, like electrons. They are simply atoms themselves, or groups of atoms, from which one or more of the normal number of electrons has become detached by electricity or heat, upsetting their equilibrium and causing them to flow rapidly in any direction where they may find particles with the opposite electrical charge...
