The Necessity Of Working On Until the
Close of Life.
Speaking at Selkirk, Sir James
Crichton-B Browne dwelt on the dangers
to health involved In Incidence and dis
use Of the brain. The medical profes-

needs of the times, had felt it incum-
bent upon it during the last decade to
insist mainly on the evils Of misuse
of the brain, on the excessive strain not
seldom imposed on it in these days In
the fierce struggle Of the race to be
rich, and more especially on the over
pressure imposed on 1t In the name of
education when in an immature state,
but they were not less keenly alive to
the correlative evils Of the disuse of

Elderly persons who gave up bust
ness and professional men who laid
aside their avocations without having
other interests or pursuits to which to
turn, were in many cases plunged In
dependency or hurried into prema-

surer way of inducing premature
mental decay than for a man Of active
habits to retire and do nothing when
Just past the zenith Of life; and, on the
other hand, he did not know any surer
way Of enjoying a green old age than
to keep on working Mt something till
the close. 1t had been said that one of
the rewards Of philosophy was length
Of days, and a striking list might be
presented Of men distinguished for
their intellectual labors which they
had never laid aside, who had far e1-
