He transplanted goat testicles into men to restore their manhood!. He worked in Chicago and all over the midwest in the years after the Fair. Then was run out of the US to practice in Mexico. He lived in Del Rio, Texas and operated in Villa Acuna across the Rio Grande. He built XERF radio station to advertise his surgery and built a hotel in Del Rio to hold his patients as they recovered. <BR/><BR/>Holy Moly! what a couple of non-fiction crazy stories these two books have been! People can be so naive and trusting of "doctors".Zorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227456296100012961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116725405154613998.post-18758081769702911482008-06-09T06:36:00.000-04:002008-06-09T06:36:00.000-04:00I agree.
