There can be no question shat the
prevalence OF certain diseases has ihJ
creased during the last half century
Conspicuous among THESE are diabetes
and insomQia. both of which ave large
~ due to HE mental stress of q hard

croa&d consumption CT alcohol and
the free use of narcotics are also re
srOnSible for many morbid conditions
unknown to our harder forboars. But.
IN comparing the lAesent prevalence
OF diseases with tfat of the past there
are several factors for which due al

these is that our fOrefathers died as
Il rule. at q considerably younger age
than their descendants; il they did
not perish by the sword they wcre'
moved do~n from time to time by the
plague and other devasting epidemics.
In this way they escaped many of the
