THREE WORDS THAT MAY ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE You are the average man or woman. You want to live a long and active life. You want to prolong the years of your earning power to the uttermost. Get Yourself Examined Don’t worry about your health. Don’t watch yourself live. But, on the other hand, don’t bury your head in the sand like an ostrich and simply hope for the best. ‘Watch out.” Get Yourself Examined About 300,000 men over twenty years of age will die in this coun- try this year of heart-disease, kidney-disease, apoplexy, cancer and tuberculosis. Who will they be? Certainly not many of the men who protected themselves by a yearly physical examination. Get Yourself Examined Remember that the human machine does not run down like a clock. It generally breaks down. It is the constant strain at some already weakened spot that generally causes the smash-up. Find out your weak spots. If you take good care of your human machine it will take good care of You. Get Yourself Examined The Life Extension Institute was organized to provide you with a critical physical examination of your whole life and body for the purpose of discovering any unfavorable factors which may be caus- ing a present lowered condition of your health or threatening your future health. Get Yourself Examined The founders of the Institute believe that fifteen to twenty years can be added to the average life by following out the system which it advocates. Since the Institute was organized over 400,000 men and women have taken its health examinations, and knowledge of the Institute’s scientific work has reached into every part of the world. No medical treatment is undertaken by the Institute. Back of the Institute’s scientific policy is its Hygiene Reference Board of leading physicians, scientists and public health authorities. Get Yourself Examined The Institute’s examinations are available at its head offices in New York, Boston or Chicago or in the subscriber’s home town or city.

In one room pumps were filling huge vats with milk; barrels of flour were being swung over the vats with cranes and dumped in; sugar came down through chutes. Huge paddles stirred the mixture. ‘Our five-ton mechanical dough mixtures with the mother’s touch,” my guide said. “23,896 mothers told us how to at- tain it.” We visited the foundry where the products were cast, saw the top de- partment that glued on the tops, in- spected the roaring ovens (‘“Temper- ature 2750 degrees centigrade,” he said) which gave just the right heat treatment, and ended up at the ship- ping department where every day four million...but, I had had enough.
