HOW TO LIVE 70 BE 100, Sir James Crichton-Browne, in the Preven. tive Medicine Section, at the Public Health Congress, London, last month, showed that in the lives of many eminent writers, statesmen, and posts their chlef accomplishments were achieved in fater middle life or old age, and declared that it was a good working hypothesis to regard the natural life of man as 100 years. Every man was entitled to a century of life and every woman to a century and a little more, for women lived longer than men. Every child should be brought up impressed with the obligation of living to 100, and taught to avoid the irregularitities of living which tooded to pre- vent the attainment.of this ambition. Life was

for centena frequently prolonged to 100 years, 1 rians were not the mora our they were sup. posed to be. Amongst the deaths registered in 1904 53 were those of reputed centenarians, of whom 37 were women and 16 men. In one

given

year the deaths of persons above the age of a great many eight-five numbered 12,361, and a of these were approaching 100 years of age. It was certain that a century of life could be Attained in health and vigor. "If old age was to be attained, however, aid Sir James,

be and hence the good start in life must importance of the questions of infant feeding and milk supply. Regular employment must be secured and poverty diminished, so that we may no longer have thirteen millions on the verge of bunger. As to alcohol; while he would indulge in no general condemnation of it, there could be no doubt that in excess of alcohol made men old before their time. The example of the American bustler must be abandoned, too. If we were to lower our death-rate and promote old age, we must return to life of simplicity and tranquillity. As regards the masses of the people, we ought to relieve the anxieties which press upon them, and surely one step to that end would be the establishment of old-age pensions. Life in surance, by the composure of mind which it secured, had done something to prolong life."

It is to be hoped in the public interest that the Commonwealth Government will not, for the sake of retaining the annual revenus of £60,000 derived from the importation of opium, Allow that baneful narcotic 10 be freely import ed under the law indefnitely.
