Medicine: Dr. Voronoff
(3 of 3)
¶ He asked a man and wife who had celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary several years previous if they would like to cross the ocean and interview Dr. Voronoff. A daughter of the aged couple replied: "It would be more appropriate to graft some of their glands on the monkeys!"
¶ He asked Ellis T. Joseph (the man who catches wild animals for the Bronx Zoo) how many apes he could supply. Mr. Joseph replied "without the slightest hesitation": "As many as anybody will pay for. ... If anybody would give me a contract to supply not less than twelve a month for a year, I could deliver them at from six to seven hundred and fifty dollars each!"
— *Armstrong Perry graduated from Canton (Pa.) High School in 1893. He is actively connected with the Boy Scout movement.
