SHOULD LIVE
 A CENTURY
 SAYS CHEMIST

LONDON, Sept. 20.-"Live to be 125' is the slogan of Professor Barton Scammell, one of England's best known chemists.
 Every animal" he says, normally lives for five times the period of it's full growth. A human being contin- ues growing until the age of twenty five. His span of life should be 125 not seventy"
 According to Professor Scammell the duration of life entirely depends upon diet. The farmer, who probably lives closest to nature, outlives the townsman by far. He lives on the fresh vegetables and fruits which con- stitute the finest scientific food that the human body can assimilate.
 Regard the human body merely as a chemical organism" says the pro- lessor, land treat it as such. To keep it at it's highest efficiency it requires the continual replacement of certain chemicals. If unsupplied the body wastes and dies.
 POTASH AN ESSENTIAL we have discovered that the most important constituent of this organism is an alkaloid called potash. When there is a full and adequate supply of this substance, then, the body re- mains vigorous for long over the Psalmist's allotted span.
 But the trouble has been to sup ply potash in form in which it can be assimilated by the body and taken into the blood. We have now discov- cred how this can be achieved.
 Experiments in the past five years have shown that if potash is mixed with radioactive water it can be taken into the system with the most amazing results. It not merely prolongs life, but it keeps people in what we regard as advanced middle age in a state of perfect health and efficiency.
 q am treating twenty-eight patients at the present time, all advanced in years, and all have recovered perfect health and the vitality of young peo- pie.
 q have one patient, MT. John R.. Cooke, of Sandhurst, Berkshire, Eng land, who is seventy-five years of age. He is retired bank manager, of Read ing. He has been undergoing this treatment for twelve months, and he writes me enthusiastically as to the mental and physical refrigeration he has experienced, and he looks like a young man of forty.
 "But the actual prolongation of life is not the main thing. What I aimed at, and have succeeded in, is to keep people in late middle life active, healthy citizens and thus prevent their existences becoming a burden both to themselves and those around them, as so often happens.
 SIGNS UT NE" ToO ! n "So far as the actual physical indica- tions are concerned, after a few weeks of the treatment the hair begins to grow afresh, the nails grow, the mus cular system is completely braced up, and we are now experimenting and | facing, with some hope, the problem i whether a human being cannot grow a third set of teeth.
 eff we can discover the exact chemi- cal composition of the enamel of the teeth, then I believe We shall sue ceed There is scarcely a great den tist in the world who is not feeling after this discovery"
 Apart from human beings, Professor l Scammell applies his radioactive treatment to the soil. He has a num- Der of testimonials that soil, after his treatment will produce five to seven times the crops formerly grown.
 "The worlds population is growing so fast" says the professor, "that in seventy years time we may be faced with a worldwide famine unless the output of food can be made to keep pace with the increase in the race"
