So many Of us have proven the

authority for stating that, OF neces-
sity, bottIe-fed infants have become
the rule among our natiVe-oorn
mothers; that one in four OF our 20
million school children, have serious-
ly impaired vision; and an appalling
percentage have defective teeth,
jeopardizing health! And from the
remaining ranks l can Gull so many

medical co-alumnus, that I had dis
covered the secret of longevity. But
II did not feaze him, for lac knew that
"a man is as young as mis- arteries;
and TO prevent '.hardcning," he said
but found himself bit rusty on the
current remedial Hfe-eNtending for

ing that such superficial seeking Is
certainly yairi
The best medical authorities have
just announced that this nrtcrioscler-
osis is not the vital factor, but blood
pressure, and the Ingenious devices
In the line OF sphygmomanometry
had power TO prolong life, rather than
starting humanity on false trail!
We are assured that while anti
toxins and serums have prevented
many deaths among those under forty,

First, his heart was set upon a bank

not impress until reinforced by an
avalanche of cold facts! 1 recall so

Now while his data gave our brains

illusions can have but an academic

place to II. Our Biogenetics. on the
contrary, being devoid of "missins

angle, making these discoveries
million times more valuable to the
world than was ever any evolutionary
hypothesis! And as for the modern

this recalls the volume II a doctor
