Radio Clinic

"This little lady has been seeing spots before her eyes, has occasional dizzy spells and is constipated. Prescriptions 66 and 74, which she can procure at the Acme drugstore at $5 and $7, will bring her relief."

Such messages from station KFKB, Milford, Kan., offer many a farmer in the southwest relaxation after a hard day in the fields. Daily thousands listen to Dr. John Richard Brinkley, goat gland rejuvenation exponent, diagnose and prescribe for letter-writing patients over the radio. Occasionally static interferes, wags say, and causes the sick to get the wrong code number for their prescriptions, to treat themselves for dandruff when they are suffering from torpid liver.

Last week Kansas Attorney General William Amos Smith hesitated about taking action against Brinkley sought by medical men, which might result in the loss of his license.* In one day Attorney General Smith received nearly 300 communications from ardent supporters of the Radio Clinic begging him to desist. Druggists over the state, waxing fat on the proceeds from the prescriptions, also sided with Brinkley.

Supplementing the clinic are lectures on rejuvenation. Many a Kansas farmer has had his sex desire reawakened, claims Brinkley, by an injection of what the American Medical Association has called "some giblet-like mixture of glands."

Dr. Brinkley, a former railroad auditor, has medical degrees from eclectic Medical University, Kansas City and the American Medical University. Kansas City.

*Attorney General Smith's brother-in-law, Percy Walker, a Topeka druggist, handles Dr. Brinkley's code prescriptions, according to the Topeka correspondent of the Kansas City Journal Post.
