I'll just let that sink in.Brinkley began promoting goat glands as a cure for 27 ailments, ranging from dementia to emphysema to flatulence. He started a direct mail blitz and hired an advertising agent, who helped Brinkley portray his treatments as turning hapless men into "the ram that am with every lamb". His burst of publicity—and his stratospheric claims—attracted the attention of the American Medical Association, which sent an agent to the clinic to investigate undercover. The agent found a woman hobbling around Brinkley's clinic who had been given goat ovaries as a cure for a spinal cord tumor.
That is a great find man!RobH wrote:Deck plans and layout of a tramp steamer of the period are available here. It's the sort of ship that would chug along doing the mundane business of moving cargo and a few passengers from, say, Boston to Halifax Novia Scotia via every port in between (unless the captain can think of a good excuse to avoid calling at Innsmouth), or could be found shuttling between the many islands around Singapore, Sumatra and Borneo.
