The Roguish World of Doctor Brinkley, by Gerald Carson ( HC, 1960, $2)
Doctor John Brinkley "revived the old dream of eternal youth on a spacious scale, and devised a goat-gonad operation which, he promised, would make any oldster once again a marvel of sexual potency. Six thousand goats gave up their virility for his patients, netting the doctor twelve million dollars. He owned the most powerful radio station in North America, and had his own busy hospital. He was a guest at the White House, a 32nd degree Mason, and the owner of a vast fleet of Cadillacs, three yachts, and a palatial Texas estate." He even ran for Governor of Kansas, and almost won. Actually he would have won if he had entered the race early enough to have his name put on the ballot, instead of being a write-in candidate. Unfortunately he had done business through the US mail, and was arrested for federal mail fraud.
Amazing, just amazing! Look for this book along with the others.
