I'O'i-f.r Commissioner of Health, .Veto York City I I is often aid that statistics are misleading and inaccurate. Tlut it is certainly true that ihe health statistics compiled to day are far more accurate than those of former tunes. A groat flea) of valuablt information can be gained by studying this material. Figures giv.n by the life in u ranee com panies are more than interesting. They reveal facts of great importance to the human race. O f course Dr. Copeland thGric figures must be cor recti; j interpreted, or they are indeed I misleading. For example, ac-j fording to the table;; prepared, no one could hope to live beyond j ninety-six years of ago. Yet, as a matter of fact, there are thousands who live beyond a hundred, in spits .f the tradition that man's age is three score years and ten. According to the life insurance tallies, the expectation of life at birth is fifty-eight years. Persons who live to fifty .years of age have a further expectation of twenty years. It is shown by these figures -that since 1897. the average expectation of life has been increased thirteen years. Of course, this gain has, been made In the younger age periods. The reason for this is easily ex plained The discovery of diphtheria anti toxin and similar treatment for scarlet fever has gone far to low it I'no death rate. With better care of measles, chicken pox and oth£r child hood diseases. Infant mortality has been greatly decreased. In addition to the decrease in the common diseases of childhood, pre ventive measures have helped a lot. For instance, the removal ef adenoids and diseased tonsils has greatly In creased the health and span of life of the child. Similar Studies n( Vdnlts _j (; vestigations are being made con cerning nutrition in its relation to the development of the body. This work, particularly in scurvy and rii iteis. has greatly lessened the suf ferings of childhood. There is no reason -grtiy similar Hidies in adult llfo cannot be made. They should he, because * study n> the figures shows that premature deaths occur most frequently among the grown-ups. This is due to the personal neglect of persona of this ag . Hut whateve the reasons may be, chronic diseases of adults have actually increased. Such conditions as high biood pres sure, kidney disease, and heart dis ease still take a tremendous toll of the population. It is hoped the* science will make such progress as to result in a marked reduction in such diseases. Proper attention to diet, periodic health examinations, and early at tention to every illness will do much to extend life. It Is hoped that mod ern progress will cause marked re duction in the deaths of persons paid forty.

His wrists were as large as our legs, and his j a w protruded so that we ac 'ually believed we could walk on it. What are -hese giants? Why are there dwarfs ? i ncre arc certain glands in the body which secrete substances having a marked effect on the growth of the body.

It account* for the remarkable growth of the man in the circus. In acromegaly there is a general enlargement of the bones of the body, but the skeleton maintains its proportions. The bones of the face. P»i tieularly- the nose and jkiwbone. become thickened and enlarged, as do the hands and feet. Headache is a common symptom. It ss usually severe in nature and located in the front of Uio head. Deafness occurs frequently. There is a change in the disposition of the individual, who becomes irritable and easily depressed. The changes in the facial makeup sre first noticed. There is a gradual increase in the size of the feature*. The victim finds that ho must take a larger size of hat and gloves. By way of treatment, little has been offered for this unusual condi tion. Where the disturbance of the pituitary gland is due to the pres sure of a tumor surgery has been of value. Extracts of the gland have been tried with little success. When we more fully understand the mechanism and control of the duct lean glands we wilt be able to offer more than we can at present.
