Synthesizing testosterone from bull testicles.
Well, now that I have your cerebral cortex firing, let’s get started.
"In 1931, 15 mg of androsterone was isolated from 15,000 litres of urine from men. Then testosterone was refined – the most important male sexual hormone – from the testicles of bulls."

“They stewed these bull testicles in benzene, alcohol, and acetone solutions. Out of the 40 pounds of bull testicles, they ended up with a mere 20mg of a fat-soluble extract that they believed contained the ‘male hormone substance.”
Further reading reveals the procedure is able to be 'refined', This I presume the efficiency of the extraction was poor, and a higher yield is possible.

"Slightly more than a century ago, in 1889, Charles Edouard brown-Sequard, the founder of the branch of medicine we know as endocrinolodgy,concocted a 'rejuvenating therapy" for body and mind with the use of extracts from testicles. He reported increased vigor and mental capacity after injecting himself with fluid he drew from the genital glands of different animals."
