New Edition

With the Addition of an Important New Chapter on Premature Old Looks: Their Prevention and Treatment.

DR. LORAND has taken into consideration not the faddists, but the great physiologists and clinicians whose writings are based upon sound premises, extensive research, and vast experience.

The author discusses the agencies which govern the nutrition of our bodies. Those which govern the condition of the nervous system and mentality. The influence of the various glands upon vitality and long life. The causation and rational prevention of premature old age, and the treatment of old age. The proper hygienic measures to be followed for the improvement of the functions of the body. Personal hygiene in all its phases from infancy on through youth, middle life and maturity. Some of the topics discussed are:-

"It is quite within the bounds of possibility, as we shall endeavor to demonstrate herein, to prolong our term of youthful-ness by ten or twenty years. 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." (From the author's preface.)

This work has now been published in nine languages, large editions being necessary to supply the demand in each language.

Obviously, no person of reasonable common sense deliberately follows the path of error in diet; if he has the facts he can go ahead and choose for himself; Dr. Lorand's book provides the facts.
