REMEDY AGAINST AGE.
Has the Fountain of Eternal Youth Really
Been Discovered?

| Has the Fountain of Eternal Youth Really
Been Discovered?
| Perhaps we are all to remain young
forever and forever, if we like. Those
who talk about the superior wisdom of
old age as worth its price, who pretend
TO exchange with cheerfulness the rash
and foolish things of youth for the
aching joints of advanced life, merely
try to make the best of a bad bargain.
They would rather stay young and be
rash and foolish. Well, they can, I'M
i less DIR. Brown-Sequald has made a
mistake. This eminent psychologist
has never been rated as a visionary.
He is one of the most revered members
of every scientific society in the world.
When he says he has discovered the

| of not growing old at all, he deserves

to have tested his discovery with sue

DR.. -Sequard is seventy-two
years old. and as all the medical
world knows he has been shelved for
several years as WORKOUT machine.
There was great surprise, therefore,
at the last meeting of the Paris Acad
envy of Medicine when he walked
briskly to the platform and in u clear
voice and with bright clear eyes under
his white eyebrows read Il long paper
on regeneration. It had long been his
idea that if the active principles of life
in the tissues could be obtained from
young bodies and injected into old
youth could be restored, or at least
the old body could be much invigorat-
ed. The TRANSMISSION of blood he dis
missed as impracticable or dangerous.
He devised a new method, which is de-
scribed thus in French newspaper:
He has taken particles from certain special
organs of living thanksgiving pigs and young
dogs for the youth of the organs is inospensa-
ble): he has triturated these still palpitating
particles in n mortar, immersed them in dis
distilled water, and obtained liquid contain
ing the essential elements of the tissues. A
few drops of this liquid he has injected under
the skin with an ordinary hypodermc syringe.
One day, not long ago, he used the
rejuvenating liquid once and the next
day twice. He soon felt himself trans
formed. He did not. like the old man
of DR.. Delivers romance, take on the
appearance of youth, but he dropped
ten years from his age. Before, half
an hours work in the laboratory was
beyond his strength; now three hours
of the severest application leaves no
fatigue. For the first time in years
his sleep is tranquil and restful; his
appetite is returned and his stomach
has recovered it's former functions;
his intellectual work is done with
greater facility and clearness than for
many years, while his weight and
strength have increased. ''Et tous ses
desirs ont SUPPLEMENT- rajeuni."
A comfortable old age, according to
Sydney Smith, means having about
seven distinct diseases, and being
grateful because none of them are
quite fatal. If the Partisan journal
lists are not triGing with us in this mat
ter, the Academy of Medicine, at first
disposed to ridicule Brown-Sequard, is
convinced that the fountain of eternal
youth. which illured Ponce de Leon to
the malariaI everglades of Florida, is
soon to flow for all. milwaukee, SEN
