REJUVENATION
Come Up And Freeze Me Some Time, Says Eddie AMERICAN scientists, we read in the Telegraphi earlier this week, are striv ing to solve the secrets of immortality.
With monkeys and chunks of ice they will do this thing. It appears that a chemist, ex- perimenting with ice, has prac- tically achieved this goal by freezing a monkey to death and de-freezing it back to life after four days.

If they keep on with their monkey experiments this thing is likely to happen to any of us.
The monkey experts promise that, by chucking a chunk of ice down our back and removing a gland here and there, we will be able to live to the age of at least 150 years.
