waning activity of the all-important
organs of internal secretion, and
others to the important fact that there
is no multiplication or replacement OF
the cells of our central nervous sys-

II may be pointed out, however, that
most, II not all, of the theories break
down because they do not admit Of
all-round application. Thus II Is
plain that many animals that are not
troubled with large intestine never
theless grow old. Furthermore. the
theories seize on symptoms rather
than on causes, for while II Is good
sense TO refer to wear and tear. the
question arises why all animals do not
exhibit the perfect recuperation to
which some at least have attained.
