The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that the
generally accepted limitation Of human life
is many years below the attainment possible
with the advanced know edge of which the
race is now possessed. The critical period
that determines its duration, seems to be
between so and 60; the proper care of the
body during this decade cannot be too strong
ly urged; careIesness then being fatal to
longevity. Natures best helper after so is
