Transmutation of the Body

This is indeed the end and aim of all Alchemy-to restore man to his primordial condition of grace, strength, perfection, beauty and physical immortality. With this in view the alchemists of all the ages have laboured to discover the secret of the Elixir of Life, which mystics believed would, literally, achieve this renewal of youth, and therefore immortality. Endless receipts for this medicine have been given, and some honestly believed they had attained it; but all to no purpose, and the great secret still remains hidden from human eyes. 66
