IL the fifth annual report O. me
Massachusetts Board Of Health,
DIR. Edward saFyis publishes a
paper designed 70 show that the
advance of civilization has len.
gtheued the average life Of man.
In ancient Rome, in the peri1d
29G 10 500 years after the chris
ti,s.I cid, no l.u,.s v,Io average du-
ration Oflife to have been 80 years,
while in the present century the
average longevity of persons OF
the same class is 80 years. In the
sixteenth century the average
longevity in Geneva was less than
% years; between 1914 and 1888 il
was ever 40 years. In 1853 the
British Government borrowed
money by selling annuities on
lives, on the basis of average
longevity. The contract was
mutually satisfactory and pro-
fitable. Ninety-three years later,
Mr.. Pitt issued another scale or
annuities on the same expecta-
ton of life as in the previous cen
tury, but the annuitants lived SO
much longer than their prede ;es-
sors that.it proved to be a very
costly loan to the Governrl eat.
The conditioning causes which
have produced the results here
noted must have been multitari-
GUS, but prominent among them
have no doubt been the removal
of plague diseases by the ais
covery of preventives and the
general education of all classes OF
citizens in some of the primary
rules of health.
