Summary

Description
English: Dr. John R. Brinkley and "Billy"

Original text accompanying photograph:

Milford, Kan.— Picture shows Dr. John R. Brinkley, holding "Billy," one of the famous goat-gland babies. Dr. Brinkley, a surgeon, has startled the scientific world by transplanting goat glands to men and omen as a means of restoring a lost heritage. The parents of "Billy" had wanted a baby for 18 years. Dr. Brinkley persuaded the father to submit to an operation involving the transplanting of glands from a goat. This perfectly healthy and laughing baby came along to bless a home that had been childless for those many years.
