EVERLASTING LIFE Addressing the American Academy of physiotherapy, Dr. W. S. Bainbridge advanced the theory that the diseases most fatal to mankind are caused by poisons. secreted by cells within the flesh, which are not carried off because of a clogged condition of the blood stream. Hardening of the arteries, for example, produces old age, but there would be no old age, he says, if the blood stream and its tributaries could be kept open. A portion of a chicken’s heart has been kept alive for fifteen years, in the Rockefeller Institute, by neutralizing the poisons given off by the cells.
