Hereditary Intiuences..

Hereditary influence is now stated

That the probable duration Of q mans
life may be known II the ages at death
OF his parents and grandparents are
known: and that II these are added to-
gether and divided by SIX, the quotient
viii be his approximate term Of life. II
the quotient exceeds sixty, one year
must be added for every i've; II II fall
below sixty, one year should be sub
tracted for every i've. The presumpt-
