It isn't Carrel, but I'm also greatly reminded of that guy who thought the key to rejuvenation was implanting monkey glands in people. That idea shows up over and over in old SF--the latest mention I remember was in Spinrad's "Bug Jack Barron", where it turns out the glands are, uh, not from monkeys.
