THE NONPAREIL MAN

e. j. klbbewhlte's English System OF
Living 800 Years-The Body Cleared OF
Old Age Deposits by the External Use
OF Glacial AcetIc AcId-Look Out for
the Man Who Will Try to Get That
"Ten" Borrowed 100 Years Ago.
If e. J. Kibblewhite of London. Eng,
is on the right path, the human race is
within touch of the means to prolong
life almost indefinitely. According to the
Psychologists the old age Of the body is
characterized by the deposit Of fbrinous,
gelatinous and calcareous substances
grandpa, as time goes on, begins to feel
rocky Dissolve these foreign substances
out of the system, says Mr.. Kibblewhite,
and the renovated body goes on like a
cleaned clock or engine. Mr.. KS system
of softening himself up consists in the
application of glacial acetic acid in the
proportion Of one part Of acid to three
of water In fifteen months he found
the change effected to be remarkable. He
felt that he was growing timber and young
again.
Mr.. Kibblewhite goes on to tell how his
old, rough and horny heels dropped off
and how his feet became soft and pliable

When told of this adventure of Mr..
Kibblewhite's, many people thoughtlessly
aver that they do not wish to live to be
so old. Their feeling is that they wear
out the world in sixty or eighty years and
are not only willing but anxious to try
their luck in another. How would you
feel to be celebrating your one hundred
and seventy eighth birthday with all your
old friends gone long since and the old
q M MAJ rlxca oh
this might be different under Mr. K IS
system, because a bunch of old friends
could be climbing the hill of life to-
gether. Think of the pleasure of having
an old friend slap you on the back ana
remark:
Say, old fellow, do you recall borrow
ing that ten of me $50 years ago?''
Or again:
What do you say to taking a little
run out to the lake for few days? 1
nave not been in the water for about
seventy-fve years.
Think Of the experience man might
acquire in a lifetime like this! If panics
are periodical, as inanciers claim, he
might make fortune every twenty wears
or so.
The girl Of 70 or 80 who married the
rich old fellow Of s178, so as to outlive him
ana get his money, would be- likely to
play losing game-if the worlds supply
OF glacial acetic acid held out.
