on exposure when
their resistance
IS low

All the risks people take in ex-
posing themselves to the weather

poor physical condition or when
their resistance is low.
They should provide a defense
against winter-th inside kind.
Strong inner resources-good re-
sistance lis the first line of de-
tense they can offer against the
hazards of this time of year.
But the trouble is that many
people do not pay any attention
to their physical condition at
the right time. They wait until
they're miserable before they
think of building up.
Don't let this happen to you.
Why not improve your resist
ance now? Take Squibb Adex

Says Arkansan, Who Car.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. R.-Life
begins at 81 in 80 far as DR.. H. D.
Wood of Fayetteville is concerned.
Don't mention retirement to the
man who is identified by the Jour-
nal Of the American Medical ASsoci-
alton as the oldest graduate physi-
clan now practicing in the United
States.
why, I'm just beginning to live"
he chuckled between the tasks of Wis
iting his patients, teaching a class OF
nurses and working on various inven-
tions designed for use in medical
practice.
Good for 20 More Years"
The other day a noted physician
from Cincinnati gave him a thorough
physical examination and beamed
happily upon its completion.
Man, there's not a thing wrong
with you," exclaimed the examiner.
YOU'RE good for another 20 years"
Those who say the chimney cor
ner is the place for old folk would
have their theories upset if they could
see him perform a surgical operation.
His hands are as steady as those OF
a young man, enabling him to cut out
an appendix and the like with the
dexterity Of younger days.
Teetotaler, Doesn't Smoke.
DR.. Wood does not regard his long
career as anything exceptional. It's
all due to temperate habits, he will
tell you.
Never during my 81 years have
I used tobacco in any form nor in
dulged in alcoholic drinks" the vet
eran physician related, with a touch
of pride. And that goes for 80 beer.
Tinkering around with mechanical
things is a sort of hobby with him.
But, Just the same, 1t has led him to
invent and perfect number OF de-
vices used in the medical profession.
Outstanding perhaps Is his modi-
fication of the Hodgen splint with
myodermic traction appliance. This
apparatus Is used for holding In place
the delicate and lightweight femur
bone while the bone is healing.
Created Many Words.
Another Of his hobbies is lextcog-
raphy. And that, too, has been ap-
piled to practical purposes. He is
credited with the addition OF many
new words to the language OF the
profession.
DR.. Wood started the study of
medicine largely by accident. In his
boyhood some neighbors stored old
medical books in his mothers barn at
Harris, Ark, and he CHANGED to come
upon them at play. He became in
terested, and day after day he went
to the barn to read them. In . few
years he took up the study seriously
at the st. Louis Medical College.
