To the average reader such an idea will prove attractive even if somewhat startling But it is not at all impossible that the next few years will see great scientific steps in the understanding of old age that one literally may decide what age is the most comfortable and for all practical purposes maintain "that age throughout "life! A scientific symposium on old age recently was held in New York under the auspices of the Academy of Medicine Notable scientists from all over the United States and from abroad attended this meeting which continued for two weeks and the upshot of the gathering was a determination on the part of the medicakmeni to eliminate r old age From a scientific standpoint old age or senility is sheer waste and waste applied at the very root of the quesof the direst import to mankind To tion "Why do we get old?"

You may answer "thirty" years or v "forty" years but this means nothing to the expert One man at thirty may be far older from a standpoint of body development and deterioration than another at fifty And so science first is seeking a way to determine the exact physical age of any given individual This is the problem which Dr Carrel n said to have solved- His technique the details of which have not been made public involves certain new and unusual blood tests and the results ill enable the physician to determine accurately how old a man is in terras of his heart liver lungs and other parts of the human machine Next comes the problem of arresting deterioration Many paths toward this goal have been tried with moderate success The Stejnach method of rejuvenation is oneGlands have been taken from healthy animals and grafted into the human system to reThis method place worn out parts has not stopped with making a person feel young but has been extended to fv ! t" i l ess a I l s ill - "beauty surgery" so that "Madame" may not only feel young She may look as young as she fe'els But none of these methods has been tit-mo- st separate organs Thus they are forced to function by this preponderance ?of But once the oxidation going energy on within you produces so little energy that it is only equal to the resistance of your body then you die The same principle is applied to the i)rj Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller steam engine It works so long as ' Foundation Photographed Upon His there is enough steam to overcome the Recent Return from France Dr Carrel resistance of the confining walls of In the Exploration of the Is a Leader steeL But if there is so little steam of the ''Essence Mysteries overbe that this resistance cannot ' of Life' come the engine is motionless and dead r Senility of course brings aboat the rious process cell or microscopic formation' through which this lack of balgeneration of less energy through oxidation so that gradually the forces ance in the living body is maintained within the body equal each other and and which" falls or disappears in death the subject dies In other words a Not only the whole scientific world but dead man might be brought to life or every human being alive is vitally in- -' a living one kept alive by some process terested in Dr Hill's experiments and which would insure a lack of balance startling revelations are promised between the energy in the bodj and The experts see two definite objectives in their work Dr Hill and many body resistance Now this of course constitutes only others are aiming at the discovery of a very small part of the work which the "essence of life" If they are sucscience must yet accomplish before it cessful in their quest it may mean that will be possible for a man to remain they will "make man immortal so that "twenty-fiv- e years younger" all has only through accident or extreme neglife But Dr Hill has carried his work lect need anyone 'die But attainmuch farther and according to Dr ment of this goal i admittedly is far F G Donnan professor of physical away Jf it is to be attained at all Meanwhile there is the other of elimchemistry at the University of London the former expert "stands upon the inating old age and ' extending the eve of tremendous discoveries at the years of yonthfnlness ' Marvelous results have been very threshold of life and death" Although the exact nature of Dr achieved in the preservation of the Hill's newest discoveries is not known the average duration of life it - is understood that they deal with youngf has been extended some fifteen years ' the very "essence of life" the myste- - but this gain has been made in the - t ' 5 i !
