QUAKER LONGEVITY.

It Il Due to Quiet Habits and Disciplined
Modes of Life.
1t is quite true that many "Friends"
live long. It is equally true that certain
circumstances in their history initiate
against long life. Among these latter
intermarriaye is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant of all. The followers of George
Fox have never been very numerous,
but until late 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 intermarriages have been,
and are still, very evident. Quakers, as
. class, are not muscularly robust; many
Of them are decidedly anamic, and not
o few are mentally feeble. Yet, in spite
of these practical and serious drawbacks,
the Friends, as . class, do more than
their proportion Of the worlds serious
business, and they manage to attain to
q high average of longevity. Now this
is exactly the kind Of fact that true
medical science likes to get hold of, and
to interrogate and learn from. What is
the reason, asks the sensible man, why
Quskers, with so many undoubted dis
advantages, attain t. such a high aver
age of success in all that constitutes
worthy life, and also succeed in enjoy
ing their success to an exceptionally old
age7'
The reason, we Are convinced, Is to be
found in their quiet habits and disci-
plined life. An ordinary doctor. or even
layman, would probably have felt much
more interest in the subject at this point
If We had been able to affirm that the
Quakers owed their success and long life
to certain drugs, as, for example, to ar
senic, PHOSPHORUS, strychnia and the
like; or to certain methods of feeding,
rs vegetarianism, or meat eating, or
fruit eating, or wine drinking, or teeto-
talism. or smoking, and 50 on. But we
submit that that shows q want of real
mental 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 are
really the things to be considered. AZ
. matter of fact the Quakers are sue
cessful in life. As matter of fact they
do live long. Then, surely, true science
will NOT curl the lip Of scorn because
these results are obtained by what may
be called natural and simple" processes.
instead of by elaborate preparations and
0nt-of-the-way method&-HOsnital.
