Is the dawn of the twentieth cens tury bringing with it new diseases, new complications of existing mala dies new varieties of physical suffers ing. as the re-uilt of the exacting conditions of the present struggle for existence? The answer to this question must be emphatically in the negative. There is no evidence .to show that the normal life of any in. dividual oroan ol live U.dy In which organic disease most commonly oc curs is shorter now than the record would indicate was the cise in ear Her d .ys. Here is iirecisely the - point which dispose of the gloomy progtdstications regarding the de cadence of the race. It mint be conceded that, if the organs of the body can bear the strain of present day life, without prematurely becom ing the seat of organic mischief, not much harm can accrue.

All these latter forms of human ills are merely disorders of 'functions" perversions, so to speak of nerve power arising from different causes, ard it is almost true to pay that per haps the last thing that they indi cate is the presence of organic dis ease, to which their origin could be attributed.
