Some things in the above table seem
strange. The healthiest region in both
Europe and America, is the danpest: for
example, England, where there is perpet-
ual mist, and Oregon, where there is such
an abundance of rain. Sunny France ap-
pears to be the most fatal TO longevity of
any civilized nation. However, fashion and
excess NAV have much to do with that
matter. In fact, statistics are deceptive,
and other knowledge than the mere fact of
the rate of mortality, is necessary for ar
riving at conclusions as to the healthiness
of any region, or vice versa, its unfavorable-
ness to health and long life. But properly
studied, such table as the above should
be valuable.
