| The author says he now possesses
"a muscular development, strength
and elasticity of body such as 1 never
had in the best days of my early man

| Here is his own statement of the
| case:

les and organs are not properly sup

pairs; consequently they will deterlor-
ate and exhibit indications of what we
know as age. A body so cucumber
ed with dead cells and clogging matter
could not be healthy and elastic. II
would practically be an old body even
though the years were those of youth
On the other hand, If the arterlal and
venous system with its vast network
of capilaries car be kept clear of
such deposits, the walls would remain
in the elastic condition characteristic
of youth. The heart would pump the
blood through those elastic arteries
and capillaries without difficulty. The
muscles and organs being properly
nourished and supplied with material
for repairs, would retain their vigor,
and the body present the appearance
of youth even at an advanced age, ami
this Is the condition which have ac-

"The real cuase of old age is this
waste-clogging matter, 1t may be
| termed the debris or ashes resulting
from the process Of life and 1t cannot
be eliminated from the system by any
! lymph, serum elixir, or any medicinal
! preparation yet brought before the
world. The process of cleaning these
arteries, whether the largest artery or
most microscopic capillary, can only
be effected through alternate contrac-
tions and relaXations of the muscles,

"The secret of health, strength,

therefore simply muscular activity.

1t Is carried off by the eXcretions of
