CHEMICAL S WILL PRESERVE
 YOUTH SAYS DR. MAYO

ST LOUIS, Feb. 12.-Aging persons eager to be young again, will find re- iuvenated youth, not leaping from bough to tree top in the glands of monkeys, but in bottle in the bath room medicine shelf, according to Dr. Charles M Mayo, noted surgeon of Rochester, Minn
 He revealed this while attending a meeting here of the American College of Physicians and Surgeons, of which he is president-elect.
 Dr. Mayo said it was entirely prob able that in the future people would be kept young until death by arti- ficial chemical means, rather than by transplantation of glands.
 Discoveries recently made" the surgeon said, "and experiments not completed entirely, show that thyroid substance may be developed within the human being by internal chemical processes Certain elements taken into the system will form new thyroid glands.
 "The time is coming when science will enable all to remain young in the sense of physical condition of their bodies, despite ages now considered enough to warrant use Of the word old"
