“…The general consensus is that they act as catalysts in the various biochemical process. The hormone concentrations are small in relation to the amplitude of the metabolic responses which they trigger (Morel, 1969). In trying to achieve this effect, over the last twenty-five years, I have used synthetic hormones in the form of pellets.…”

Based on the assumption that the menopause or climacteric is due to a decline in function of the sex glands as part of the process leading to old age with all its physical and mental implications, 1,000 women and 300 men (age range, 40–75 years) were treated with hormone implants during the years 1945–1970. The advantages of the implant method are listed. This therapy resulted in a marked improvement in flushes, in general condition, in depression and fatigue, and in the local changes of the genital tract and skin; the patients looked better and younger. The arguments against hormone treatment (especially with oestrogen) are: 1) it might cause post‐menopausal bleeding, and 2) it might produce cancer. In our series, the incidences of bleeding and of cancer were lower in the hormonally treated women than in the women who did not receive hormone therapy. This evidence combined with that in the literature indicates that menopausal patients need not be deprived of the benefits of hormone therapy, which will contribute greatly to their well‐being and may at least delay the development of degenerative diseases.
