PREVENTION OF OLD AGE A. NEW SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. Old age and its distressing accompaniments may be retarded in its onset by giving attention to the ductless gland. The astounding results of the “monkey gland” operations of the world-famous Dr. Voronoff are well known. It has been found by those observers who have studied this subject that certain glands in the body undergo changes in old age. It is to prevent these changes (or rather, to keep alive the functions of these glands) that rejuvenation is attempted. It does not seem, however, that. surgical procedures of this kind will ever become widely adopted; neither does it; appear altogether desirable that this should bo so. It is obviously better to prevent premature old age than to attempt to cure it by means so opposed to nature as these. One thing is certain—that if life is prolonged. it will be by preventive methods, rather than by the purloining of glands from monkeys. There can be little doubt that in old ago there is considerably less energy at the disposal of the body; and that many of the characteristic features of this epoch are directly traceable to a. lowering of the activities of such glands as the thyroid, pituitary and adrenal. Of these three glands the thyroid may be said to be the master gland. The dry and thin hair, early decay of teeth, the ridged and grooved nails are common accompaniments of diminished thyroid action. Recent researches have shown that the thyroid can be activated by iodine in a special organic form, which is contained in the latest scientific discovery—a substance known under the name of Thyrodone, sold by Chemists at 4/C, with Money-Back Guarantee. Sufferers from loss of energy, falling hair, decayed teeth, will benefit by a course of Thyrodone capsules. “Rep” yourself with Thyrodone! Vitality regained.
