The Duration of I life. ::

Following the rather startling an
nouncement by the learned physiolo-
gical chemists, Drs Loeb and Mat
thews, of Hull laboratory that there
is apparently no inherent reason why
man should die, except our ignorance
of the conditions governing the reac-
ton going on in his protoplasm," we
have the later statement from learn
ed savant, chemist and philosopher,
that Life can be indefinitely prolong-
ed. There is no doubt whatever that
Noah, Methuselah and other early
fathers of the human race, lived to the
age that Bible chronology gives, and
that the years allotted to each were of
365 days in length. The remarkable
thing is that men become decrepit and
die in the years of real infancy. There
is no reason why the renewal of the
cells, which constitutes life, should not
go OH and on Indefinitely, except our
ignorance of the actual requirements
of Nature for perfect work. do not
say that our knowledge has yet reach
ed point where much longer life
can be guaranteed anyone, but we
should do so, and the trend of modern
investigation is decidedly In that di-
rection and is meeting with gratify-
ing success"
The latter gentleman is the origin
ator of line of remedies based on the
experiment which have led to the
above conclusions. OF these remedies
he says: ''They are many years in ad-
vance Of the medical science of today.
and therefore their work is often deem
ed miraculous. But there is nothing
