Old Age Deferred

This groundbreaking work is ahead of its time, with its proposal of prolonging youthfulness by ten or twenty years through scientific advancements of the early 20th century. As quoted from the author himself, «In other words we need no longer grow old at forty or fifty; we may live to the age of ninety or one hundred years, instead of dying at sixty or seventy. All this can be brought about by the observance of certain hygienic measures, and by improving the functions of a certain few of the glandular structures in our body, provided incurable organic disorders have not already too gravely compromised one or more of our main organs.»
