days. Two weeks without sleep usu
ally results ftr death from exhaustion.
Without food, life becomes extinct
within 15 to 60 days, depending up
on the individual's health and weight
at the beginning of the fast period.
To be of normal quality and duration
our vegetative existence (I mean an
existence' without consideration of
brain function) depends upon the
presence in "satisfactory proportion
of fresh air and water, adequate
sleep and a proper dietary.
We will not discuss in detail the
matter of air and breathing, for this
is usually well taken care of by our
instinctive demands. Suffice it to
say that insofar as air is concerned,
the ideal life is that spent in the open.
Any mode of existence approaching
out of door life .is the most condu
