REDUCING W0MEN'S AGES.
German Doctors Rejuvenaseenee Plan
More Successful Than Satisfactory.

German Doctors Rejuvenuseenee Plan
More Successful Than Satisfactory.
The British Medical Journal tells this
story, according to a London special
cable dispatch to the New York Sun:
A German doctor discovered a means
Of restoring lost youth to women which
is more potent than Cagliostro's IA
nous pentacle rejuvenescence and ad-
yertised that he could in two days re-
1uvenate the most decrepit bag. This
brought q crowd Of ancient danes to
his home.
At the first interview after careful
auscultation he invited each patient to
write her surname and Christian name
and age ON a piece of paper. The
ages to which the women pleaded
guilty varied, but all ruled high. The
doctor undertook to give each patient
the promised elixir the next day, but
some time, he said, was required to ad-
Just the strength to the individual pow
er of resistance.
On the appointed day the women
called again, but the doctor expressed
regret that he had unfortunately mis-
laid the papers containing their ages.
For this reason a new set would be re-
quired. He added casually that they
ought to know that the Oldest Of them
must allow herself to be burned fol
the good of the rest, as the basis for
the remedy was human ash.
The next day the women brought
back papers with their ages inscribed.
It was found that each had taken
many years of the age previously ad.
mitted. The doctor, pretending to have
found the first papers, called them to
witness the success Of his invention
Comparing the lists, he showed that
he had kept his word in regard to
rejuvenation, because in forty-efght
hours they had all become many years
younger.

He held onto it, and, while adding to

lied all of the Arrydice strain, he con-
tinued to remedy their inherent visual
defects by the use OF the same kind of
glasses that the noted ancestress of the
herd always wore.
These aids to the vision had to be
placed on the calves at an early age

Of retroactive power, as the animals
grew older, which latter change has
also to be made occasionally even after
the animals have reached maturity.

In appearance as an assemblage Of

Mr.. Hepro claims that the wearing
OF the glasses has a SOLDERING effect on
the animals, which Is perfectly appar-
ent even In the young ones, and that
they never frisk about and play as 9TH
