Goat Gland Science GOAT-GLAND SCIENCE The amazing events that I’m writing about in this article would never have occurred if John R. Brinkley hadn’t received a mail order medical degree in 1917 and obtained a job as the company doctor at the Swift Meatpacking Company in Kansas. While working at the meat packing plant, Brinkley was intrigued that goats destined for the slaughterhouse vigorously mated. A few years later, Brinkley set up a private practice in the small hamlet of Milford, Kansas. One day a farmer came in to Brinkley’s office complaining of a sagging libido. Recalling the frantic antics of the goats at the slaughterhouse, Dr. Brinkley suggested to the farmer that what he needed was a goat gland transplant. It should be noted that previously Brinkley had been a snake oil salesman selling injections of colored distilled water at $25.00 a shot purported to increase vitality. Being the unethical person he was and with a wobbly knowledge of medicine, Brinkley implanted a bit of goat gonad into the farmer’s testicle. Shortly thereafter, the farmer’s wife became pregnant followed by the birth a baby boy whom the couple appropriately named “Billy”.
