Scientist Prescribes
Gland Treatment

DR.. Arnold Lorand, physician in
charge at Carlsbad, Austria, an in
ternationally recognized authority
on medical progress, recommends
gland treatment as a safe and sure
method of preventing i'll health and
warding off premature old age. The
famous scientist in his book, odd
Age Deferred" says: considering
the great importance of the glands
in preventing premature old age,
we must insist on the reinforce
ment of their functions, if changed
by age or disease, by means of ex-
tracts obtained from similar organs
of young, healthy animals"
Such a compound is now offered
to the public in the form of Glando-
gen, a highly concentrated and eff.
ffcient tonic, prepared in convenient
tablet form, from the glands of
young healthy animals and COM
pounded with other valuable in
gradients. This tonic has already

State Library Has
First Edition Copy
Peter Edes' Diary

The Maine State Library has just
come into possession Of rare first
edition copy of the title page of the
diary. Edes was the oldest printer in
the United States, and the record
was written by him during his con-
finement in Boston by the British
for 1O7 days in the year 1775, imme-
diately after the Battle of Bunker
Hill. The diary was printed in Ban
gor in 1897 by Samuel S. Smith.
Peter Edes has been justly called
the most important figure in the early
history of printing in this State. He
was born in Boston in 1856, son of
Benjamin Edes. the famous journal
list of the Revolution. later became
associated with the noted Edes Press
In Boston. After leaving Boston, he
went to Newport, r. l., and published
a newspaper for time, and in 1898
came to what is now Maine.
He settled at Augusta. being the
first printer to locate in the town and
when he went in 1915 to Bangor, he
was the first settled printer there. In
this city Peter Edes established the
Kennebunk Intelligencer and pub
lished the first edition, Nov. IA, 1895.
This publication had life history of
20 years, but during Edes' stay in
Augusta. he changed its name three
times. Until 1903 Mr.. Edes had ex-
elusive territory in which to conduct
his printing and publishing business.
