HOW ABRAM HEWITT
RENEWED HIS YOUTH
In Good Health at the Age of Sew
enty Nine, Owing to the Use
OF an Elixir of Life.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Jan. L-Abram S. Hewitt, who
begins the present century in good health.
although in his seventy-ninth year, owes
much OF his bodily vigor to an elixir of
life which a French physician found for
him IN a salt Of sodium. French physicians
have for several years been using phos-
plate of sodium, and especially the glycero
phosphate OF sodium, to awaken the SUM
bering vitalities.
Mr.. Hewitt's New York physician said
to-day that Mr.. Hewitt had practically
gained a new hold on life by the use of
glycero phosphate of sodium. He said that
1t was, however, a rare case, as in many
instances the salt had proved to be of no
value whatever.
Mr.. Hewitt" he continued, was suffer-
ing from general weakness in 1897. He had
no organic trouble. He had been an ex-
ceedingly active man, and he felt that he
ought to be able to walk better, for he
could at that lime get about only with
great difficulty. He did not have as good
an appetite as he thought he should have.
He went to Paris. and there met Doctor
Robert. a French physician, who became
much interested in him. The French physi-
clan prescribed subcutaneous injections of
the glycero phosphate of sodium. The treat
ment was continued while Mr.. Hewitt was
In Paris, md he was surprisingly benefited.
He gained In strength and appetite. He
now experiences no difficulty In walking
and has a good appetite. He is able to
accomplish much mental work. / think
that Mr.. Hewitt is now much stronger
than he ever would have been had he not
taken the treatment.
1T must not be inferred tina the glycero
phosphate Of sodium Is a panacea. Far
from 1t. 1t is like any other stimulant or
tonic. In some cases IL may prove Of
great benefit; in others absolutely useless.
Mr.. Hewitt experienced more benefit in
Paris than he has since.
THE salt Is one OF the ingredients Of
Brown-Sequard's elixir Of life. and, in fact.
the only one which is efficacious. When the
French physician introduced his animal
extracts. which were supposed to rave
marvellous effects. IL was found by analysis
that they contained a large quantity of
PHOSPHORUS combined In a salt Of sodium"
Although Mr.. Hewitt has passed the age
of three-score and ten. he has Of recent
been able TO give more time than
ever. to the projects In which he is inter-
ested. Those who know him nave noticed
that for a man Of his years he shows
many signs OF reserve strength. He has
been attending various meetings in the last
two or three years, while before his trip
TO Paris he seldom went out in the even
ing.
