PREFACE TO NEW REVISED EDITION.
ssss1
THE sudden and premature deaths in recent years of numerous prominent people, through arteriosclerosis, impressed me strongly that these persons might be still alive if they had been better informed of hygienic living. This gave me the idea of preparing a special section in this new edition, dealing with the prevention of this high mortality from arteriosclerosis and also with the prevention and treatment of high blood-pressure. At the same time, I am availing myself of this opportunity with an endeavor to augment, so far as possible, the general purpose of this book, which is to fight old age by all means that are at our disposal. I am also adding a few suggestions on the treatment of old looks.
