LIVING FOR 150 YEARS.

REMARKABLE CLAIMS FOR SECRET SERUM. One hundred and fifty years of life -from serum! The Daily Express understands that what is claimed to be another epoch-making* secret has been wrested from the serum discovered by Dr. Henri Spnhlinger, the world-famous Swiss scientist and bacteriologist, whoso serum and vaccine treatment for the cure of consumption represents Hip most successful effort yet made to rid mankind of this mortal disease. Injections of ferments from Spahlinger serum are stated to have resulted in a rejuvenation and prolongation of the life of the body that equal, if they do not surpass, the wonders of the- curative effects of the serum injected in the consumptive. Accredited scientists and medical men associated with Dr. Spahlinger in his researches confidently hope that injections of the serum ferments which stimulate and revivify the body cells will in time prolong the human span of life to a term of 150 years. If their hopes are fulfilled monkey gland© will bo out of date. So far this second great secret of the serum is known only to Dr. Spahlinger and his closest associates and intimates, who arc subjecting themselves to serum ferment injections for the purposes of investigation and research. Dr. Henri Spahlinger is a man of mature years, with a remarkably youthful appearance. He has repelled every overture for the commercial exploitation of his wonderful discovery, and aims at, noth l ng .less than the manufacture of his two curative agents, serum and vaccine. so that they may be distributed to rich and poor alike all over' the world, and at the cost price of manufacture.

The Spahlinger serum takes anything from one to four years to produce, and, at the present, stage of the-work, seven horses are required for manufacturing , one complete treatment. The bacteriologist’s simple explanation of the serum treatment consumption is that it resembles the anti-toxin treatment for diphtheria. The s*rum ia painlessly pre-
