DEFYING OLD AGE
LONGER LIFE EXPERIMENTAL STATION TO BE OPENED IN ENGLAND. DOCTOR’S PRACTICAL TEST. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, October 10. Dr Maurice Ernest plans to put to practical test his theory that the normal person can live from 200 to 300 years. The “Mirror” says he intends to open a longer life experimental station in Berkshire, with a laboratory and clinic, where selected patients will be helped to defy old age. The basis of the system is to prevent the encroachment of age by preventing bodily disorders which cause old age. Six people will be treated at a time. They can be thirty or seventy years old but they must be normally sound 1 for their years and without organic disease. Dr Ernest points out that State measures already have increased the expectation of life to 65 years and says in the time of King Henry VIII the average man was on crutches at 50, while the Roman citizen could expect to live to about 30 years.
