ONDoN, Jan li---pT, WI 'N''
Round, a medical practitioner In
- London, claims to have discovered
how TO live forever--barring acci-
dents As he is only 40 years old him
self It cannot be said that in his own
person he offers even presumptiye evil
dence Of the truth OF his theories. But
that is no reason, he thinks, why he
should not start lot Of other people
living for ever. and he has just con-
fded TO me how the thing can be
done.
DYING Is A HABIT,
According TO Dr. Round. dying Is
simply a bad racial habit which we
have all got into and SHOULD strive our
utmost to get out of. AS 3 matter
of fact" he said. 1--WE each have the
free will 10 create our own ideal or
longevity, and according to our faith

cannot muster faith enough TO persuade
themselves that they cannot go Oh Nv
ing indefinitely should endeayor to
emulate Methuselah who. DIR. Round
reminds us, lived to be 1853 years old.
Surely" said the doctor, that Is
better ideal than the current three
score years and 10 and equally authori-
tative." And II people can't convince
themselves that they may equal Me-
thuselh's longevity record they might
fix their ideal on Moses, who. according
&c Scripture. was 100 years old when he
died; his eye was not dim nor his ma
tural force abated.'
ONLY DEATH INSTINCT.
The thing to be fought against and
eliminated IL what DIR. Round calls the
death instinct That It appears, is
something which has been transmitted
to us by our benighted ancestors VINO,
because they observed that all lives
ended In death. were Illogical enough 10
assume that there was 10 way of stop
ping H. In getting rid of this death In
stlnct and laying the foundation Of per-
petual life a great deal depends upon
getting the solar plexus to behave It.
self properly Most people In America
first heard of the solar plexus through
Bob Fitzsimmons who knocked out
Corbett by landing on that portion OF
his anatomy and thereby won the fis-
tic heavyweight championship. BIT
according TO Or. Round there Is a deal
more In the solar plexus than Bob Fitz-
simmons ever found out. II IL the "ab-
domlnal brain" 1t controls the sym
pathetic or Involuntary nervous sys-
tenn which has a whole lot 10 do with
the emotions. And the man who gets
1t to obey the behests Of the brain,
working tremendously with 1t instead
of kicking against It, may. II DR..

So the important thing Is to 30 train

FIGHT SHY OF BURIALS.
According to DR.. Round we should
fight shy OF burlals. They convey sug-
gestions that are very bad for the solar
plexus. We should avoid also reading
tales that end badly, or witnessing
muudlm dramatic tragedies, Or recap
