QUAKER LONGEVITY.

It Il Due to Quiet Habits and Dlsciplined
Modes OF Life.
1t is quite true that many Friends"
live long. Il is equally true that certain
circumstances in their history initiate
against long life. Among these latter
intermarriage is, perhaps, the most i'm.
portant Of all. The followers of George
Fox have never been very numerous,
but une1 2ste years they have been ex.
tremely exclusive. The inevitable re.
suit OF that has been extensive inter-
marriage throughout the whole
community. The consequences Of the
frequency Of intermarrfages have been,
and are still, very evident. Quakers, as
class. are not muscularly robust; many
OF them are decidedly an1mic, and not
. few are mentally feeble. Yet, in spite
Of these practical and serious drawbacks,
the Friends, IA . class, do more than
their proportion Of the worlds serious
business, and they manage to attain to
. high average Of longevity. Now this
10 exactly the kind Of fact that true
medical science likes to get hold of, and
70 a~nterrogate and learn from. What ia
tho reason. asks tho sensible man, vhv
Quakers, with 70 many undoubted dis
advantages, attain to such q high aver
age Of success in all that constitutes
worthy life, and also succeed in eniov.
Ing their success to an exceptionally old
age?
The reason, We are convinced, is to b
found in their quiet habits and disci.
plineA life. An ordinary doctor, or even
lsyaan, would probably have felt much
more interest in the subject at this point
II 10 had been able to affirm that tina
Quakefs owed their success AID long life
to certain drugs, as, for exanp pie, to ar.
senic, phosphorous, strychnix and the
like; 0e to certain methods of feeding.
- vegetarianism. or meat eating, or
fruit eating, or wine drinking, or teeto.
or smoking, and so on. But we
submit that that shows q rant ox real
capacity. For what, after all, Is
the true importance of the subject? Does
It not consist in the undoubted charac-
ter of the results? The results arc
really the things to be considered. As
, matter of fact the Quakers are sue
,essful In life. As q matter Of fact they
10 live long. Then, surely, true science
will moi curl the lip Of scorn because
these results are obtained by what may
be calleds'nstursl and simple" processes.
OF by elaborate preparations and
methOdA-HOenit.'.
