on of healthy human life in its offspring, was to them
just as sacred and important a preoccupation as it was natural, to
ensure the survival of the race; and to secure to all the food that
would assist in this, their highest and most worthy aim, seemed to them
a manifest duty which, at the present day, prudish "morality" either
practically ignores or modestly pretends to neglect. Healthy food,
generally speaking, will do much towards ensuring healthy offspring.

But the times of extreme leisure, as enjoyed by the ancient Greeks, are
long past and a more exacting age makes its more strenuous demands upon
the human tissues, and in innumerable cases causes them to deteriorate
more rapidly than they can be regenerated and restored to their original
vigor by even the healthiest food.

Hence I have felt justified, in considering the best interests of the
race--present and future--in devoting the crowning effort of my long
scientific career to the production of modern biological remedies such
as would be felt in the reproductive powers of the people--a
consideration concerning which the old-time, prudish reticence is a
foolish figment rapidly passing away.

Now, as regards myself and my great work. Surely to boast a little is
but human. The man who puts his very best efforts into an ideal, and
having achieved it, has not striven to reap the fruits thereof for
selfish gain, but year by year, has perfected that work until the tests
have finally permitted him to cry: "Eureka"--it is accomplished beyond
dispute,--that man has the right to overstep the conventional rule which
forbids self-praise. While in other work accomplished I see but the
links of an uncompleted chain, the synthesis of Eubiogen, I feel to be
one of those so rare occasions in human life, when a tested
accomplishment allows and even demands a somewhat different treatment.
And so I have the courage to speak as follows in eulogy of my own
production:

This product is my masterpiece. I am proud of it. Nothing like it in
efficiency has ever before been given to the world. In the fullest sense
of the word, it is in food value the most perfect concentration that
science and research have ever evolved. It is the result of the quest of
30 years and should make its finder famous. Hundreds of men of mark have
each one given to mankind some noble token of their genius; but of such
gifts not one possessed the concentrated virtues, the materialized
knowledge of "Eubiogen
