Abstract

The article focuses on John R. Brinkley's controversial run as an independent candidate in the 1930 Kansas gubernatorial race, driven by his motivation to regain his medical license suspended due to unconventional medical practices. Topics include Brinkley's goat-gland transplantation procedure for treating impotence, the quackery surrounding his practices, and his use of radio broadcasting to promote his political and medical agendas in the Midwest.
