clared DR.. Frank r. Starkey of this
city today in discussing his discovery
OF formula for AN extract that mas
been proved in a thousand test cases
to be a cure for chronic and acute DIS
eases.
II could make 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.
1.-The elixir of life as discovered
by DR.. Starkey, "consists of paste
formed of extracts from the genital
glands Of roosters and sheep and the
pituary glands Of the latter animal
mixed with chemically pure glycerlne,
allowed to macerate forty. eight hours
lected into the blood Of the patient,
marked departure from the methods OF
other physicians who have attempted
like cures
DR.. Starkev is one OF the most re-
putable physicians in Philadelphia lie
has been practlclng since he was graz
uated from the Medico-C Chirurgical col
lege in 1897 with the exception of two
years when he pursued post graduate
studies in London, Vienna and Berlin.
| He has conducted research in medical
| laborat ories of world importance and
| is now connected with the medical
laboratory staff Of the Medlco-Chlrur-
gical hospital here.
Labored Eight Years.
Eight years ago he started his ex-
perlments that have finally won sue
cess. The supreme test was made IN
1908 when Dr. Starkey enlisted the as.
sistance Of fifty volunteer subjects,
| twenty-five men and twenty-five wom-
en- ranging in age from 90 TO 30 years,
| Exact note was made Of the physical
condition of each person and all were
| kept under careful observation for an
entire week preceding any treNment.
No element was overlooked and each
was placed on a weighted diet. At
the end of this "probaJion week, y fl
teen minims Of the newly devised
polyglandular extract was administered
daily to each subject by intramuscular
| in nieotion. The diet Of each was con-
trolled and an accurate record of ply
steal condition was kept as before,
Since then, in a thousand test cases
Dr.. Starkey's "elixir" has been
found to cure not only acute and chron-
ic diseases, including neurasthcnia,
melancholia, locomotor ataxia, typhoid
and scarlet fever, tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, influenza, impotence, epilepsy
and rheumatism. but also to 'cure -
old nge and to be a potent factor in
building the character of the patient.
The formula has met the approval of
the leading physicians of this city, and
Mr.. Starkey, who has taken it himself,
says he feels twenty years younger. He
looks it, too.
Process of Metabolism.
HThere are certain vital organs or
ductless glands in the human organ, -
said DR.. Starkey in explaining his
method, "that, are continually manu-.
featuring a physical agent without
which we could not live. They control
the process known as metabolism, by
which the living tissues be continually
renewed. They control vitality. They
are in fact life itself.
"What is known as the pituarv
body, located in the head near the base
of the skull is the general of them all;
the thyroid gland Just below the jaw
adrenals and after them the genital
| glands.
| $50 powerful is their influence upon
the human organism that I could make
a race Of giants, of dwarfs, or Of gog-
gle.eyed idiots by taking people in
adolescence and simply disturbing the
balance of proportion among these
glands continued DR., Starkey impress
sively. "They are the great equilibra-
| turbs them lowers vitality. 1t is when
they are below normal that neuras
| thenia. melancholy and hundreds of
other ailments results. Disease germs
are continually entering the body, but
so long as these vital centers are func
tionating porperly. the system is in 81
condition to resist their onslaughts.
Extract Not Medicine.
"This extract is not a medicine.
Every one has these organs function
which l produce. 1t is when they be-
come inharmonious they get out
of balance-that metabolism-tbe proc
ess of tissue interchange is disturbed
and a lack of resistance to the inva-
sion to disease follows.
"The injection of polygTandular ex-
tract is not intended as a cure all,
but to place the body in better posi-
| tion to assist, through stronger vitality
and defensive activity whatever treat
meDt is employed.
"If I had had Wilbur Wright during
his fatal illness he would not have
died" added DR.. Starkey with convic-
tion. "In his condition of coma the
body was unable to respond to the Gus.
tomary medicine, but the use of polyg-
] landular extract would have given him
new lease of life, by bringing the
system TO a point where it could take
hold itself in the battle for life. -
