astonishing, when we consider its truly
wonderful curative powers. Mr.. f.

circumstance | suffered with rheuma-
tism for over six years; consulted many
physicians, and tried hundreds of rem
edies; but without avail. Having seen
st. Jacobs Oil advertised in your paper,
and heard of some most astonishing
cures, sent to Rockport for bottle of
the Oil, and used it according to direc-
tions. The relief / felt was almost

longevity in Different Ooou-
pations.

The American Miller, with q view Of
showing that millers outlive other me-
chanics, gives some interesting statistics.
it is probable, let us say, that none but
robust and very healthy persons would
engage in milling, because in Massachu-
setts the mills do only custom work,
which requires the miller to carry the
heavy bags in and ont by hand, Nil
lers may, therefore, be presumed to
stand with stronger constitutions than
the average Of men. We quote the ar.
ticle referred to;
"During the thirty-four years and
eight months from May lst, l843, to
December Slst, 1877, there died in the
State of Massachusetts, lGl, sol men over
twenty years of age, whose occupations
were specified in the registry of their
decease. The average age at which they
died was about ffty-one years. The
number is so great, and the period COW
cred is so long, that by the study of the
classification Of the employment of those
who died, we can get a very good idea of
the comparative ages at which men in
different occupations and in an ordinarily
healthy community are swept away by
death, The deaths inonly six occupations
were at an age, on an average, above
sixty. They were--lst, the gentlemen,
siXty-eight; ID, the farmers, sixty-fve !;
Sd, the judges, sixty-four; 4th, the
lighthouse-keepers, nearly sixty-three (;
9Th, the basket-makers, sixtyone and
9th, the pilots, over sixty Clergymen
lived a little over ffty.nine years, pro-
fessors over fftyseven years, lawyers
about ffty-six years, and physicians ff-
ty-fve years. The active mechanics
died on an average at the following
ages Millers, ropemakers, and wheel
wrights, tfty.seven years; clothiers,
pump and block makers, AMI tallow
chambers, tfty-six years; potters, fifty
five years; hatters, ffty-four years !;
blacksmiths, ffty-three years; calico
printers and wood turner's, ffty-two
years. All other occupations fell below
the enumerated classes, brakemen dying
earliest of Of all-at twenty-six years Of
age. 1t will thus be seen that millers
are among the longest lived men Of the
community, following closely after pro
fessional men and gentlemen of leisure,
who are the longest lived men in every
country. The millers lived six years
longer than the average, and twenty
years longer than the class denominated
as factors lahoring abroad baggage mas
ters, brakemen, engineers, fremen, sol
diers, etc. J, who died at an average age
Of twentY-seven years.
