life" which in a thousand tests has
been found to cure not only acute and
chronic diseases, including nehrasthe-
MIA. melancholla, locomotor ataxia, ty-
phoid fever, scarlet fever, tuberculo-
sis, pneumonia, Influenza epilepsy and
rheumatism, but also to cure" old
age and to be a potent factor in build
ing up the character of the patient
has been discovered by DR.. Frank r.
Starkey of 445 South Forty fourth
street. this city.
The formula of DIR. Starkey, who is
one of the most reputable physicians
in Philadelphia, has met the approval
of the leading medical men of this
city, and the New York Medical Jour-
nal says of 1t editorially: Its far
reaching meaning can hardly be over
estimated"
Volunteers Prove Theory.
| DR.. Starkey makes no secret of the
| composition of the polyglaudular ex-
tract that ne has employed with such
| remarkable results. In 1908 he en-
| listed the assistance of fifty volunteer
subjects, twenty-five men and twenty
| five women, ranging in age from 20
/ to 35 years.
| Fifteen minims of the newly devised
polyglandular extract was admtnister-
ed daily to each subject by intro
muscular injection. The diet of each
was controlled and an accurate record
| of physical conditions was kept as be-
| fore.
II This was continued for two weeks, .
DR.. Starkey says The results were
mental efficiency. They were able to
| stand more mental and physical exer-
| ton. They Increased in weight on an
| average, eight pounds during the two
| weeks and declared they felt unusual
| ly well and strong. The blood pres
sure in all cases was increased"
Takes Years From Self.
But would this prove true in dis
| ease pr was the next question to de-
mand consideration.
That question has been settled be-
yond all possibility of doubt in the
four years that have elapsed from the
| time of the first experiments 1t has
been answered by the long list of per-
sons who are now completely well, but
who would at one time have been Civ
en- up as hopeless cases"
DR.. Starkey is 80 years old but APP
pears younger. Two years ago he
looked nearly SO after many years OF
change was brought about by the in.
lection of his own formula into him

Makes Old Young.
"Old age is a condition that can be
cured. People can really be made
young" was declared by DIR. Starkey
in explaining his elixir.
There are certain vital organs oil
ductless glands in the human organ
ism that are continually manufacture
ing a physical agent without which
we could not live. They control the
process known as metabolism, By
which the living tissues are being con
tinually renewed. They control vitali
