INCREASED AVERAGE DURATION or LIrE-Professor
Buchanan in an interesting lecture before the Mechanics
Institute Of Cincinnati makes the following observations
upon the average duration Of life the effect IN part II the
improvements In medical science. He says that in the
latter part Of the sixteenth century oneha of all that
born died under FIVE years Of age and the
longevity of the whole population but S years In
the 18th century oneha Of the population died under
twelve But the first sixty years Of the 18th century
oxe half Of the population lived 81 years In the
latter forty years eha exceeded 80 years of age Al
the beginning Of the present century oneha exceeded
years. and from 1888 to lS45 onehaf exceeded 49, The
average longevity at these successive periods has been in
creased from Is years in the 18th century up to All
our Inst reports.
These facts are derived from the medical statistics o.
Geneva. Applied TO this country, such on improvement
as is here exhibited from 1900 to 1916 would make va
ration in our bills Of mortality Of than half mil
lion, or 300 deaths daily.
