Excerpt from Old at Forty or Young at Sixty Simplifying the Science of Growing Old
Whether the constructive forces of maturity are to wane in the early forties or to remain, impelling and unimpaired, into the sixties is a question of personal interest to every vital man and woman.
Most of our ancestors who have known fulness of years merely met, through fortuitous circumstances, the Accident of Old Age. Others endowed perchance with unusual clearness of vision sensed and practiced the Art of Growing Old.
But never before in man's history has the ability to lengthen and better the latter years, to live out in satisfaction and comfort the scriptural "three score and ten," been reducible to general practice. To-day we may speak confidently of the Science of Growing Old - a science which has been translated into simple terms in the following chapters.
To those who are looking to chemistry or surgery for a wonder-working drug or youth-restoring operation, these pages will prove a disappointment.
"Old at Forty or Young at Sixty" is for those who are seeking the guidance of scientifically revealed truth, not the leadings of visionary pseudo-science.
