Of PERPETUAL YOUTH

Chicago, Oct f5.-To America,

of the discovery of the fountain OF
perpetual youth" according to DR..
O. F. Lydston, eminent Chicago
surgeon. He stated tonight he had
discovered the process Of gland i'm
p,anarion in 1914 He claims to have
made further progress in its develop
meut than that claimed by DIR. Serge
Voropor. the French scientist
II am grieved and angered," said
DR.. Lydstou, that the 1aurels should
gosto rny French eonrrexe. when they
rightly belong to an American, The
!amentable irony of the thing IS that
Americans will not recognize thing
Of this sort until 1t comes TO them
from abroad"
DIR. Lydston claimed even more
startling results than did DIR. Voro-
noT my results" he said, have
been so startling, ONE of them, that
I have not yet ventured to give them
in their entirety even to the medical
| world. IT is obvious, therefore, that
/ cannot give them to the public"
DIR. Iydston said his studies con-
vinced him that all love is Simply
"glandular attraction" and leads to
al least an explanation OF the
| ''eternai tragic ind affinity 1nes-
| ton.
TT is possible to accomplish, what
DR. voronoff claims" he said. There
is an immense field for the further
research and the possibilities are ire
nendous"
