TenacIty Of Jewish Lives

Hoffman and Bernouilla have proved
that Jewish lives are, on an average,
nearly so per cent more valuable than
those OF any other known people.
They escape great epidemics more
readily than the other races with
whom they live Notable examples of
this were seen in the e'black death" in
la4s, and in the numerous epidemics of
cholera, which Is so rare among the
Jews that the very fact OF its occur
