Tim Nutt, Director of the UAMS Historical Research Center, will present “Glory, Grift, and Goat Glands: The Career of John R. Brinkley.” Dr. John Brinkley was an infamous quack doctor in the early 20th Century who preyed on those hoping to improve their vitality and virility. Known as the “Goat Gland Doctor,” Brinkley operated a clinic and hospital in Little Rock during the late 1930s.
