The Elixir of Life.
In all ages and countries the search for
an Elixir of Life has consumed the time
of philosophers and impoverished their
wealthiest patrons. And" yet few persons
even if they could, would choose to live
forever on earth. Our happiness here is
so involved with that of others, that he
who survives his family and friends has
little left for which to live. Could a man's
existentCJ do protracted to hve hundred
years, he would spend at least the last
