How To Live 100 Years | by G. H. Lockwood
What I personally contend in this matter is this, that because of my present knowledge of how to live right I will be able to live many, many years longer than I otherwise would live had this knowledge not come to me - and this is all that I can offer to you. But we can make it possible for our children and our children's children to live their full allotted life, live it in possession of vigorous manhood and womanhood, live it in the joy that comes from health alone, which is more desirable than rubies and diamonds and fine gold.
