QUEST OF YOUTH.
GLAND TREATMENT DISCUSSED.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, May 13. Mr. Wilson, the rejuvented Australian, who died suddenly, made a small fortune as a shipbreaker at Sydney. He is a widower, but has two adopted children in Australia. His death has re-dir-ected attention to the thyroid treatment, which cost Wilson £7OO. A West End consultant says that thyroid treatment, as practised on the Continent, is merely a medical freak. There is the gravest langer in administering too much thyroid as the patient has the aspirations, activities and appetites of youth, but the arteries, weakened by age, cannot -withstand the abnormal blood pressure and suddenly death comes from angina pectoris. Connie Ediss says: “Thyroid did not make me 16 again, but I feel younger and able to do more work.”
