The Life Extension Institute itself is not a COM

of the word. Twothirds of the profits set aside
in trust fund for public health work of a national
scope. The independent, no1rpartisan, specialized
character of the Institute and of the professional
men behind it inspires confidence and guarantees
the genuneness of the service rendered. The Insti-

More than 100000 men and
women in all parts of the United

received its physical examina-

members many lives have been
saved, much illness, suffering,
waste and poverty prevented,
proving the value of the Institute.
The Life Extension Institute
was founded for the public good.
1t would not be fulfilling it's

you selfishly that you cannot get
thorough physical examination
