clared that an unidentified boy had

before and that he ran from the yard
Of the tenement to where she was
carrying chair from the Wolstater
apartment. on the third floor, to her
parents. who were sitting on the
stoop.
She said he struck match and de-
liberately held 1t under her dress until

children In the neighborhood. They
said they had seen no strange boy
around and ventured the opinion that
Elsie had been striking matches while
coming down the stairs and had set
her own clothes afire. The halls Of
the house were not lighted at the time.

GUESSING his discovery of formula for
an extract that has been proven In
a thousand test cases to be cure for
chronic and acute diseases.
II could make a race of giants. of
dwarfs, or of goggle-eyed idiots by
treating people In their adolescence
and disturbing the proportion among
their glands. through which organs the
formula cures" he continued.
The elixir of life" as discovered
by DR.. Starkey, consists of paste
formed OF extracts from the genital
glands of ROSTERS and sheep and the
pituitary glands of the latter animal,
mixed with chemically pure glycerin,
allowed to macerate forty-elght hours
and then filtered This extract is in
jected into the blood Of tho patient, a
marked departure from the methods
of other physicians who have attempt
ed like cures.
Dr. Starkey is one of the most reput-
able physicians In Philadelphia. He
has been practicing since he was grad.
uated from the Medico-Chirurgical col
lege In 1897, with the exception Of
two years when he pursued postgradu-
ate studies In London, Vienna and
Berlin.
Eight years ago he started his ex-
periments that have finally won sue
cess. Four years ago the supreme test
was made, when DR.. Starkey enlisted
the assistance of fifty volunteer sub
jects, twenty-five men and twenty-five
women, ranging in ages from twenty
to thirty-f1ve years.
The formula has met the approval
of the leading physicians of this CITY,
and DR.. Starkey, who has taken 1t
himself, says he feels twenty years
younger. He looks 1t, too.
There are certain vital organs or
ductless glands In the human organ

ing his method, that are constantly
manufacturing a physical agent with

control the process known as metabol
ism, by which the living tissues are
being continually renewed. They con.
