proves BY statistics that MAS longevity

II seems that increasing intelligence and

rage length Of life in Europe from TWEEN
ty.fye years In the seventeenth century,
to thirty-fve In the eighteenth, and to
forty.Gye In the nineteenth. The best
educated communities are the longest
lived, and the best educated soldiers live
amazingly longer than the more ignor-
ant, and seem 10 wear q charmed life,
not so much against bullet and bayonet,
as against the e6ects Of disease, priva-
tion, and even severe wounds, on their
constitutions and lives. H0.t
