...professor of orthodox medicine, Niehans studied for the Protestant ministry before turning to medicine. He practiced conventional surgery and endocrinology until the late 19205. Then he got interested in transplanting organs from animals to humans. (By no coincidence, this was at the height of the late Serge Voronoff's vogue as a transplanter of monkey testicles.)

"I know the case of a 'rejuvenated man' in the United States," he began, "who felt young until he receifed his physician's bill. Dot vas so high he suddenly felt old again.'' Voronoff stalked out in a dudgeon, swore he would never attend another meeting where Dr. Carlson was present.
