ALL WRONG ON old AGE
PROBLEM, SAYS SCIENTIST
Study Of Subject Has Started
From the Wrong End, As-
eording to Rocasolano:

Everybody hitherto has gone wrong
III Investigating the problem Of old age
and decay because the study of the
subject has started from the wrong
end, according to Spanish scientist,
A. de Gregorio Rocasolano.
He says scientists began by investi-
eating old age in man and in the
higher organisms, which might be
compared to the study of mathematics,
beginning with the differential calcu.
lus
He argued that at present 1t was
possible to study scientifically the ad-
vent Of old age and the conclusion
would be reached that there is no so
luton of continuity between inert
matter and live matter. Modern bio
logical investigations proved, he said,
that form was not the base of life.
The cells, he declared, are heterogene-
Gus chemical systems, which are not
the living form, but live matter. In
the same way as the atom is the small
est possible mass which cfih enter into
chemical combinations, the cell is the
smallest possible quantity of live mat
ter that can he identified. but is itself
composed of living units. He conclud:
ed the difference between dead and
live matter is not chemical. but

YOU CAN'T
DODGE 1T
Once in Awhile Your Blood Clogs and
Your Vitality Runs Down.
THEN TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN
You'll Pick Up Again Quickly With
Plenty Of Red Blood
COrpuscles

Physicians nowadays take a blooo
test when you are run down. They
count the red corpuscles in youl
blood. If these are too few they give
you a tonic for your blood. 1t hap
pens right along. They are always on
the lookout for indications of weak
blood.
Why? Because they know when
your blood is weak your resistance to
disease is low. Your vitality and en-
ergy quickly run down.
You can tell when your blood is
weak. You look pale, feel tired. You
are not ill, but you don't feel right.
You don't want to do things. That is
the time to axe the well-known tonic
Pepto-Mangan.
Pepto Mangan builds red blood cor
puscles. Physicians have prescribed
it for thirty years.
Pepto- Mangan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. The medicinal value is
exactly the same. Take either kind
you prefer. But be sure you get the
genuine Pepto-Mangan = "Gude's."
The full name. "Gude's Pepto-Man-
gam" should be on the package. Adv.

Warden Elmer f. Shattuck at the
prison says. "His muscles haven't
been used for so long they may have

The sisters, too. do not believe he is
feigning dumbness. The nearest he

a cultural sound as he viewed an air
plane sailing over the harbor. 1t was
the first time he had ever seen one.
Hanley was convicted under the
Habitual Criminal Act after being
found guilty of stealing shoes worth

now 46 years old, and has spent most
of his life behind the walls.
