DEATH IN" YOUTH GLANDS." TWO-FOLD MYSTERY OF REJUVENATED MAN'S FATE,
And no niku puttekl new wine into
uld hottles, else this new wins doth burst the bottles."ST. MARK
The failure to observe this warning from the New Testament epitomises the inquest story of the death of Mr."Alfred Wilson, the seventy-two-y: ar-old man who died with dramatic anddeness, on the eve of giving a lecture at the Albert Hall on How I was made twenty years younger by the method of Professor Steinnch, of Vienna."
There is an unravelled two-fold mystery in the death of Mr. Wilson. A verdict of Death frour natural causes was It returned" at the roroner's inquest Stratford en May 13th. after Dr. A. Kennedy, of Plaistow, the dead man's medical attendant, had declared that death was due to too great blood pres sure, otherwise angina pectoris; that the post-mortem had disclosed no signs of injury and that all the organs of the boy were quite normal. There was no sear on the body such as would be left by, an operation. it is known that the peration Mr. Wilson underwent did not involve the grafting of monkey or thyroid glands.
1
The double-edge mystery therefore presents itself:-
What was the operation to which Mr.
Wilson submitted himself? What is the nature of the fatal contin- involved in rejuvenating gency operations!
PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Dr. Kennedy stated at the inquest that Mr. Wilson came to him about a month ago, and complained of a pain in the left side, saying, "I wanted to show someone how strong I was, and hit myself un, the chest."
1.
Mrs. Kruger, in whose house at New Barn-road, Plaistow, Mr. Wilson lived, stated that he was away in Vienna at the beginning of the year for eleven werks, and returned, a changed man. Ile told us he had an operation," she said.but wagt it was called I cannot remember, it was such a long name."

HE arrangements were puriret. plained that night of a pain in his chest, and she took him a glass of hot water to bis room. The next morning she went to call, him, and found him dead in bed. touched his face," said Mrs. Kruger, and it was quite cold."
£700 OPERATION.
""
A cousin of the dead man, Mrs. Char- Lotte Benatt, of Walton-on-Thames, declared that the cost to. Wilson of the Vintina trip and the operation"was £700. Tu nie," she said, he was quite altered, when I saw him a week ago. He did not look the same man. I thought! he looked much younger. I think he told me the operation was in his side."
Mr. Alfred Wilson went to live at Plaistow a year ago. He was a native of Herne, near Sittingbourne, and had spent most of his life in Australia, where in Sydney he made a small fortune as a shipbreaker. His money was always paid to him in London through an Aus tralian bank. He was a widower, and had no children, but he had adopted two girls in Australia.
Before he went to Yiepas he was of a quiet, retiring disposition and spent most of his time reading in his lodgings. After his return he was always' out and about, Jull of schemes to spread the news of his perpetual youth. He often declared that he would live to be 150 years old.
oi Mr. Wilson's death is only. une Beverni which have come to the know- ledge of London doctors. For an old person to undergo gland grafting, or the thyroid treatment, is often to hasten death, not to prolong it.Death leaps suddenly on the would-be youths.
FALLACIES.
These reported rejuvenations are all fallacious," said one of the best known medical men in the profession to a Daily
True treat Express representative. ment by thyroid or similar preparations as practised on the Continent is purely a stunt. No ductor of repute mrdient would adopt it i London. There is the gravest possible danger in administer- ing too much thyroid to a patient, The patient outwardly appears much younger. He or she has the aspirations, activities, and appetites of youth. The mind in active and often fantastical it its ideas. The colour is heightened, the pulse quigkened, and the blood pressure in- created.
The condition of excessive thyroid is medically known as exophthalmic goitre. The arterics, weakened by age, cannot withstand the abnormal blood pressure, and suddenly death comes from angina pectoris.
We have found no way yet by which the old can be made young. Those who go searching for perpetual youth are chasing a myth. They cannot escape the Great Reaper.
