An Elixir of Life Discredited.

If we were led some years ago TO believe
that Professor Metchnikof had discovered
a sure way TO defer old age indefinitely 1t
was not so much his doing as that OF GER
tain ingenious adapters of practical sorI'
who saw in his speculations a convenient
opportunity to turn the Bulgarian bacillus
20 account. He himself had gone pretty
far in his conclusions concerning the rela-
ton between sour milk and longevity, but
his commercial disciples went much fur
ther and contrived in a wonderfully short
time to convince a considerable number OF
neople that the elixir Of life had been
found.
This was no easy task, for TO make their
advertisements plausible they found 1t nee
essary to work them out on semi-scientlfic
lines. according to the popular demand of
the time. They were obliged to give their
customers a smattering of Metchnikoff's
theories, with a good deal about macro-
phags and other obscure things. 1t was
long and difficult process to prepare the
world for sour milk, but the result was
wonderful. Bacillus bulgaricus came to
be known familiarly as "the germ OF I'M
mortality" and, with sundry more or less
disreputable counterfeits, was consumed in
vast quantities as a cure for the great ma
ioritv Of ailments, old and new. Arterio-
sclerosis came to be fashionable about
this time, and it's popularity to-day may be
attributed in large measure TO the educa-
tional efforts of the milk-sourers.
1t is very disappointing that after all
these efforts an Investigator should come
forward to tell us that 1.-The beneficial eff
fects which it is claimed have been derived
from the use Of yoghurt and other Oriental
sour-milk products have in all probability
been due to the milk as such, rather than
to the bacteria which they contained" He
bases this discouraging conclusion on the
results Of a series of feeding experiments
extending over three years, and involving
5118 chickens Not that he denies the
benefits of sour milk. On the contrary, he
is satisfied Of its value, for in every in
stance the use Of it was followed by a
marked increase in the weights of the
chicks beyond that which took place in
the chicks which received no milk" Only
he cannot discover any peculiar virtue in
Metchnikoff's bacillus as compared with
other acid-forming bacteria, nor is he per-
suaded that sour milk is in any way pref
cradle to sweet milk.
Possibly the conclusions drawn cannot
properly be applied to human beings, but
to say the least they are disquieting. In
the same manner doubts have been cast
from time to time on the therapeutic value
Of certain famous foreign springs, the
question being whether those who derive
such wonderful benefit from them might
not do as well with tap-water at home.
Yet they survive and do furnishing bust
ness in spite Of the skeptics; so perhaps
the dealers in sour milk may survive the
doubts of DR.. Rettger.

ditions. Five members OF Embassies In

ton to be present.
General Manager O'Hara has made
improvements in the plant, installing the
latest word in mutuel machines being
