Good Health.
The sudden death of Mike Kelly, the
we'll known baseball player, after three
days illness from pneumonia, was a
surprise to the sporting world. For
dozen years Kelly had been prominent
as baseball player, and was always
apparently superb specimen of physi-
cal health. One would have thought
that he was able to stand the shock of
disease much better than most men,
and yet l am told that from the outset
of his sickness the physicians had little
hope OF his recovery, so rapid was the
PROCESS Of the malady. Here was a
man who for twenty years had not
known a sick day, whose occupation
kept him in the open air and whose
vital powers were apparently at their
best-the envy of the invalid and the
dyspeptic. Was ne overturned, or was
the attack of pneumonia unusually ma
lignant? Doctors may answer these
questions if they can.
When | was student of medicine a
similar case was up for discussion at
a clinic and one of the students de-
clared that a man should be at the
prime of life between forty and fifty
years of age. The lecturer impressive
ly remarked;
LET every student who hears my
voice remember this fact. that at 80
years, as a rule, man begins to die.
That age marks the climax of manhood
and womanhood, so far as physical
powers 90. The span Of life is three
score years and ten. Many live beyond
TO- but the percentage who reach that
age is small, and doubt if two among
the forty present in the ordinary expec-
tation of life can hope to pass it. )"
