ATTAINING OLD AGE.
The Philosophy OF Longevity IL
Depleted by Prof. Cyrn~
Edison.

Addressing the Hundred Year club
at New York the other night on THE
Causes CT Natural Death and How to
Attain an Active and Useful Old Age"
DR. Cyrus Edscn said that longevity is
due to unusual powers of assimilation.
DR.. Edison spoke of the trades and pro-
fessions IN which statistics had shown
the fatalities TO be earliest. Among
/ the most fatal of the trades were those
OF steel polishcrs and potters. Mer-
chants came well up in the list for early
deaths aud it had been shown that the
mortality among butchers after the age
OF rs is large. Among physicians also.
he said, there is a high mortality rate
much above the average, due to irregu-
larity of living.
On the other hand, farmers and hunt
ers, from their open-air life, often at
tain to old age
But" he added, "if the intellectual
parts of the brain of the farmer hal
proper activity and exercise he would
live longer. Rapid thought leads Ia
longevity. Men in the city in this re-
spect have a distinct advantage over
the farmer. Not only is a well-balanced
mind essential TO old age, but we'll
balanced active mind"
From this DR.. Edison deduced that ma
ture is relentless fool killer" Stats
tics show, he added, that men of genius
live remarkably long life.
There should not be more than eight
hours sleep, he said, as too much sleeI
makes the sluggard. Excessive sleey
results in degeneration from disuse o
the mental faculties. After 35 year.
of age we never need more than eighr
hours, unless it is to catch up" Tb,
cry OF doctors ten years ago was t;
