LECruREs ON LIFE AND HEA1TH.-
Dr.. Richardson recently delivered at the
ShoreditCh town hall, England, the FIRST
Of series Of twelve lectures On life and
health. Some persons, he said, imagined
that life might be extended 10 l20 years,
but he thought that il might fairly e1.
tend to 90 years. Life was an abstrac.
ton which, with our present knowledge,
we could not deal with. Perfect health
meant u condition In which the living
body would go through itS allotted cycle
without suffering curtailment Of natural
existence or injury from the influence Of
external causes. When this condition Of
health was not attained the body became
subject 10 one or other Of those changes 10
which the word "diseaSe" was applied,
All diseases arose from external causes
acting on the body, which were reducible
10 seven great causes: !. Atmospher.
ical variations; 2. Physical accidents; 3.
Organic poisons; 4. Errors in feeding,
drinking, breathing; 5. Parasites or for
eign living organisms affecting the body;
0. Occupations or modes Of lille; 7. Ner-
vous or mental oppression. lie would
confne his observation to English life,
but when he passed to the physiological
part Of the subject this division would
pass away. The rates Of mortality were
different in different clNsses and occupa-
tions, and from the tables compiled by
the Register General it appeared that
barristers live longer than any other
class, and alter them come clergymen,
and next 10 them dissenting ministers,
and that among the lowest on the list are
diapers, Roman Catholic clergy, physi.
clans and surgeons, matters, hair dressers;
and the lowest Of all are coachmen mot
