pigs were injected. Thus, whatever

animal IN n normal state. At seventy
two DR.. Brown-Sequard declared he
had given himself subcutaneous in
Jections OF his lymph with most bene-
ficaal results. but he died four years
later and phyaicians In this country
had no degree OF success In their ex-
perfments with his treatment.
Another famous Ponce dc Leon was
Prof. Ellie Metchnikoff. He said the
principal agent In seniie decay was
tho continuous auto-intoxication OF
the body through tho putrefnction OF
matter In the large intestine. For
combating the bacteria that cause this
putrefaction he advocated the "sour
milk curo"-preparations OF milk
soured by cultures Of selected Tactic
acid baciili. He thought man should
Hive $50 TO $50 years. But ne died in
1915 at the age OF seventy-one.
That radlum is the elixir Of life Is a
claim made by several scientists. One
Of these was Prof. Gabriel Petit OF
Abort. France. who injected two mil
llgrams OF radium into the jugular
vein OF a very old horse with most re-
tuvenating effects. DIR. Saubermann OF
Berlin also has declared that radium
restores the hardened arteries of the
middle-aged 20 healthy condition
and 30 proiongs life.
Al least two physicians who believed
they had discovered the secret OF pro-
longing life have won much attention
In this country. Ono OF them, DIR.
Frank II. StarlCey Of Philadelphia, told
in 1912 how he had rejuvenated physi-
cal health by giving intra-muscular
Injections OF n combination OF extracts
from the pituitary. the thyroid and
other ductletss glands.
The next year DIR. Eugene n. witte
OF Trenton. N. j., told Tho Evening
World OF his success In injecting n
secret, thin, reddish-b brown liquid into
the veins OF patients suffering from a
great variety OF troubles. DIR. Witte
argued that all diseases-inciuding old
age itseif-are due 10 an impoverished
condition Of the blood and offered 10
give proof that his formula could pur-
ify and renourish the blood. thus
warding on disease and senility.
SO they follow the quest OF old
Ponce Se Leon-but not yet has the
human race rid itself OF tho bad
habits Of growing old and dying.

teacher of physiology and hygiene,

maize, the native Indian corn OF
America, has always puzzled them.
