We present the results of determination of the age, helium mass fraction (Y), metallicity ([Fe/H]), and abundances of the elements C, O, Na, Mg, Ca, Ti, Cr and Mn for 26 globular clusters of the Galaxy. In this work, we apply a method developed by us that employs medium-resolution integrated-light spectra of globular clusters and models of stellar atmospheres and it is supplemented in this paper by the automatic calculation of microturbulence velocities of stars in the studied objects. Based on the data obtained for 26 objects, as well as the results of our previous studies, it is shown that the abundances of chemical elements that we measured, with the exception of carbon, are consistent with the literature estimates from the analysis of integrated-light spectra of clusters and from high-resolution spectroscopic observations of their brightest stars. Our estimates of [C/Fe] are consistent with the literature values obtained from the integrated-light spectra of clusters. We interpret the systematic difference between the derived [C/Fe] globular clusters and the literature [C/Fe] values for the brightest stars of the clusters as a change of the chemical composition in the atmospheres of stars during their evolution. The estimated absolute ages and average Y for the clusters are in a reasonable agreement with the literature data from the analysis of color-magnitude diagrams of the objects.
