nAs NE ABOLISHED DEATH


covered tho Elixir Of Life.
The medical world is excited by the
statement of DIR. Brown-Sequard,
the great French specialist in nervous
diseases, who declared before the Bio
logical Society of Paris, of which he is
the president, that after twenty years
OF experimenting he had discovered a
true elixir of life, a substance that
would r%eiuvenate the old and make
strong the feeble. He commended that
If the living cells of a young and vigor-
u being could he injected into an
other where the vital spark was low
his organism must vibrate in unison
with the fresh life. Many years ago
the doctor advanced views of the same
character in a lecture before the medi-
cal faculty of Paris and has since been
engaged in experimenting on the sub
ject by treating old and wornout ami
mails. Finally, as he states, hereached
such perfection that lie tried his elixir
upon himself with startling results.
The doctor is now 72 years old, and
presumably is subject to the weakness
es and infirmities of age. His r%evital-
izing substance, lie explained, was
derived from certain organs or glands
taken, still quivering, from live ami
annals and reduced ut once to q pulp in
q mortar with distilled water. From
this compound he extracts an essence
which he uses as a hypodermic injec-
ton.
The doctor administered to himself a
cubic centimetre with a hypodermic
syringe, just as morphine is injected.
He declares that the day following this
experiment, after two injections of this
vital essence, he felt himself trans
formed. Upto that time half an hours
work standing up in his laboratory ex-
hausted him. Now he declares he Gun
study three hours uninterruptedly
without the least repose. His appetite
has increased. his sleep is sweet and
refreshing, his stomach performs its
functions admirably, and his intellec-
tual labor is performed with wonderful
ease and c%learness. His feelings also
have been youthful. DIR. Brown
Sequard declared that the dose he took
was equal to ten years rejuvenation.
Medical men in New York are
skeptical about the doctors alleged
discovery, and smile incredulously
when asked what they think of it.
While they admit that all things are
possible, they are far from ready to
give credence to the story as it comes
from France, or to accept the state
ment without further proof than has
yet come to hand.-NeW York World.
