It is often' too late to make a “Comeback” when one be gins to realize that tfie years are creep ing on and'the full forces of the natural body are needed, and that all the broken parts of the machinery must be repaired to be able to live out a respectable life time. It Hi a crime to die before the age of 1(M). In many, ways early in life the functions of the vital organs have been damaged. Rarely ever with overwork Or burdens of heavy rosi>orisibility, but haVe over-eaten, used stimulants as caffeiitc and sugar, slept in closed rooms breath ing ford sir, let months go by when the skin has never been thoroughly wet with perspiration, have failed 'to thoroughly chew the food, fmve neglected to drink sufficient ipiantity of water, have neglect ed the teeth; they take irregular meals, irregular sleep, irregular work and frteg ular play, and .vet they can name no oho cause and no one day when the, macht»i cry hegarr to fuil and they passed from fit j <, to unfit, some of them at 35 or 40 begm • sing to break down slowly and noiseless ly, and many at 50 are beginning to shew Old itge. It is hard to ptnss these itfto the stage of life as fit. when years begin to count and perfect functioning of the entire makeup is necessary to keep the Vitality up to the needed standard. _After one has reached the time of life i when* years begin to count and it is ex . pooled that the vital forces will begiff to fait, fliefi it is that great care should be exercised in- controlling and bringing to play all off the elements tbwt are peces- Sary in keeping up perfect functioning and co-ordination of the work of all the Organs of the body. The mind has much to-do With’ bringing One to the appearance of old age. It is foolish to adopt the bearing of an old man at 50 and expect and prepare to die at 00. "One is no old er than he thinks he is.” It is wise to form a habit of straightening up and lift jhrg the body into an erect position when .

The av -crage length of life is now 50 years as compared with 41 back in 1870. In 1880 the bacillus typhosus was prov en to be th'e cause of typhoid fever.

The death rate- of the entire United * States in 1880 wn« 1!) per LOOO; in 1900,' twenty years later, it was 17: the next twenty years makes a favorable showing ‘ by a reduction to IS. In 1921 the low est rate yet reached by this or any other country except New Zealand was 11. I In New Zealand people live longest, av eraging (SO years, while in India, the low- i est average age at death is below 251 years. The death rate among the babies is enormous in India. There has been a gain of 31 years in the average span of life since 1800. - Knowledge of many communicable di seases is advanced to the point where we can feel reasonably assured of their con trol, and yet there will be required mnch educational work to reach the highest standard. In 1920 there were 120.000 deaths from pneumonia, a rate of 137 per hundred thousand; tuberculosis, 99,000, rate of 114; Bright's disease and acute nephritis. 78,000. rate of 80; cancer, 72,000. rate of 83 per hundred thousand. The expenditure of the Milbunk Me morial Fund in an effort to st#mp out many of the irregular causes of death should prove of great benefit in an edu cational way. Two million dollars are be ing spent in three communities, rural, city, and congested tenement.. The Am erican Public Health Association iu:s ded icated itself o this plan. Every com munity in the United States will have an opporunity to adopt the health regula tions used, if the results are successful. Medical men can well afford to be proud lof their achievement in extending the | span of life in the past, and. if this ex periment is successful it is lioped that twenty years will be added to the average span 'of life. To want to live long is as natural as for water to flow down hill. If these things are done there should be ao trouble in living to be 129.
