Three years ago I met Giessler at the meeting of the British Association, and, though he denied it, he was palpably aging. His shoulders were bent, his hearing and eye-sight failing, and the area senilis was very strongly marked, while I am what you see. I have, however, had an advantage over the professor, which it is only fair to mention.
I also give Ramon an occasional dose, and he is the most vigorous man of his years I know. I sent some to Giessler, but he said it was an empirical remedy, and declined to take it. He preferred electric baths. I take my electric baths by horseback exercise, and riding to hounds. Yes, I believe I shall finish my century without becoming senile either in body or mind if I can escape the Griscelli.
Of course I looked as if I'd never set eyes on her before in all my life, though all the time she was a-pecking at the mayonnaise and a-sipping at the Giessler, I was thinking of the coffee-shop and of the ninepenny haddick and the pint of cocoa. "Go and fetch my cloak," she says to him after a while. "I am cold." And up he gets and goes out.
While studying therapeutics and pathology under Professor Giessler, of Zurich, shortly after my return to Europe, I took up the subject of longevity, as to which Giessler had collected much curious information, and formed certain theories, one being that people of sound constitution and strong vitality, with no hereditary predisposition to disease may, by observing a correct regimen, easily live to be a hundred, preserving until that age their faculties virtually intact in other words, only begin to be old at a hundred.
"You try your way; I will try mine," said Giessler, "and we will see who lives the longer at any rate, the survivor will. The survivor must also publish an account of his system, pour encourageur les autres." As we were of the same age, equally sound in constitution and strong in physique, and not greatly dissimilar in temperament, I accepted the challenge. The competition is still going on.
