Rejuvenation Term Analysis

January 8. Diagnosis established late in the evening. Philip Philippovich, like a true scientist, acknowledged his mistake: a change of hypophysis produces, not rejuvenation, but complete humanization (underlined three times). This does not detract in the slightest from the staggering importance of his amazing discovery.

Prof. Preobrazhensky’s amazing experiment has revealed one of the secrets of the human brain. From now on, the mysterious function of the hypophysis—the brain appendage—is explained. The hypophysis determines human characteristics. Its hormones may be described as the most important ones in the organism—they are the hormones of the human shape. A new realm is opening in science: a homunculus was created without any of Faust’s retorts. The surgeon’s scalpel has brought into being a new human entity. Professor Preobrazhensky, you are a creator. (Blot)
