The author of this work has devoted much time to the study of senile diseases 

 and their treatment. His vast experience in this particular field has led to the 

 discovery of many important facts that are of practical value in science and medi- 

 cine In recent years considerable work has been done in blood-pressure investi- 

 gations, cancer, research, arteriosclerosis and other factors which are related to 

 senility and its diseases, and the extent and depth, and ever-increasing scope of 

 these investigations, which are really studies into the causes and results of senile 

 changes, give promise of ultimate success in discovering the fundamental causes 

 of senescence. 



As this book is a pioneer in the field, one may expect to find in it much that 

 is new and of general interest. In his preface the author states, " there is another 

 point of view from which the physician should consider the aged and their diseases, 

 that of the scientist, for here is a most interesting study, presenting problems that 

 are intimately bound up in the grand mystery of life and death."
