Reason for Early Death.

The reason man dies at 60 or so
instead of 100 or 120, according to the
famous scientist, Ellie Metchnikoff, of
the Pasteur institute, Paris. is because
of the numberless microbes which
thrive in his intestines and digestive
organs and gradually poison the tbs
sues of the body, bringing ON prema
ture old age and death.
Metchnikoff believes he has discov
cred that the microbes which inhabit
the human intestines can be destroyed
by the regular use of buttermilk OF
sour milk. on account of the Tactic acit
which they contain, thereby prolongine
life and making old age healthy anc
vigorous.
