MEN Of 60 YEARS
SHOULD BE YOUNG
Dr.. Bartlett Says That Most
Men Grow Old Entirely Too
Soon = Die Before Their
Time-Under Proper Treat
ment and Care Faculties and
Vigor Can Be Restored Many
Years.

DR. Bartlett, the specialist in nerv-
Gus and chronic diseases, gives out a
very interesting theory in regard 10
the cause Of the physical decline of
old age The doctor is of the opinion
that most men lose their faculties and
vigor sooner than is necessary. He
predicts that future generations will
be much longer lived on account of
a more general knowledge of medi-
cine among physicians of the future.
DR.. Bartlett's system of treatment
is based upon the proposition that
there are three causes for the decline
of the faculties and shrinking and
shriveling of the various organs in
old age.
First: The stomach. liver and
bowels become clogged by over eat
ing or eating improper foods. The
result of the cIogging is an improper
elimination OF waste products.
Second: The kidneys become
weakened from over-indulgence and
excess, causing poor elimination of
urateS. phosphates. etc, and the for
nation OF poisonous acids. The re-
suit of poor elimination by the bow
els and kidneys is the storing up Of
a host OF waste product in the SIS
TEN. The blood is clogged with
wastes which settle in the tissues,
muscles and bones. The bones be-
come hard, brittle and weak. The
waste settles in the muscles weaken
ing and shriveling them and causing
a multitude of aches and pains. and
a general clOgging and stiffening of
the whole body.
The third cause of premature old
age is the weakening of the nerves.
due to excess in living. and the worry
and excitement of our life.
The usual treatment for the vari-
Gus aches and weaknesses of old age
is physics and tonics The physics
weaken the bowels and kidneys still
more, and the touics give false
strength. which is simply a borrow
ing from the future. which must be
paid back with interest
The rational and scientific treat
ment is the general cleansing and
purifying OF the whole system, in
Guiding the blood, bowels, liver and
kidneys This cleansing is not done
with physics or sO-called blood puri-
fiers but must be done with special
medicines suitable to the particular
case at hand. Then after the sys-
tenn has been thoroughly cleansed
the various eliminating organs must
be built up by suitable medicines so
that they will properly eliminate all
the waste in the future.
The nerves must be fed-not with
nerve tonics or stimulants. but with
nerve builders. nerve foods. The
nerves control every organ in the
body. and If the nerves are weak the
whole system is weak
Thus the secret Of good health in
old age is 10 cleanse the system and
keep il clean: to build mp the nerves
and thereby keep up the nerve ten
sion and vitality
Given an old man OF sixty or sew
enty, who has no organic lesion. but
who is simply broken down with ex-
cess and wrong living. and DR.. Bart
lett. with his modern system Of
treating the cause Of the ailment will
clean him up and build him up 50
that he Will have the elasticity
strength and manly vigOr OF an ord
nary man OF forty. Building up tn
nerves puts energy in the muscles
vim in the vitality. makes the mem
ory return. and thoughts flow
through the brain as OF OLD
one man OF seventy-five whom Dr.
Bartlett treated but three months
caid: Il wouldn't take $1,000 for
what YOU have done for me-"
Another man OF SiXty-fOur said:
Doctor. YOU have turned back the
hands OF time for me- and / feel as
well as l did twenty-five years ago. /
enjoy life, l enjoy my home again.
