LONGEVITY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Statistics show that New Hampshire Ia
pre-eminently the home of the centenarian.
nonagenarian and octogenarian, of hale
and hearty old men who began life with
the republic. Indeed, SO numerous are
the veterans of the war of 1912 in some of
the remote towns of the Granite State that
popular impression prevails there that
''the last war" as it is still called by these
warriors of bygone days, was fought en-
tirely by New Hampshire regiments, and
that from Lundy's Lane to the battle of
New Orleans they carried the American
banner to the front on every hard -contest-
ed field. Many theories have been spun
as to why people should live to be older
in New Hampshire than in Vermont or
Maine. OF course, there must be some good
reason for it. Perhaps it is because they
take better care of their health and under
stand what is the right medicine for the
right disease. Such at least would seem
to be the inference from the following ac-
count by Charles M. Lampney, Esq, we'll
known attorney and counsellor, of Hamp-
ton, N. H., of how he was cured of rheu-
matism

Hobbs, neighbor, who had been suffering
for several months with rheumatism, sent
me word that he was taking Athlophoros
