Prof Farady adopts Flourin's physio-
logical theory that the age Of man is one
hundred years. The duration of life he
believes to be measured from the time Of
growth. When once the bones and cpl
physes are united the body grows no
more, and it is at twenty years this union
is effected in man. The natural termi-
nation of life is five removes from the
several points. Man being twenty years
in growing, lives five times twenty years,
that is to say, one hundred years the
camel is eight years in growing, lives five
times eight years, that is to say. forty
years; the horse is five years in growing,
and lives twenty-five years, and so with
other animals The man who does not
die of sickness lives anywhere from eigh-
ty to one hundred years. Providence
has given man century to live, but he
docs not attain it because he inherits
disease, eats unwholesome food, gives Ii
cense to his passions, and permits vexa-
ton to disturb his healthy equipoise; he
does not die, he kills himself The Pro
fessor divides life into two equal halves,
growth and decline, and these halves into
infancy, youth, virility and age Infan-
cy extends to the twentieth year, youth
to the fiftieth, because it is during this
time that the tissues become firm virili-
ty, from fifty to seventy-fve, during
which the organism remains complete,
and at seventy-fve old age. commences.
