Time to Take Care.

The physical decay of men over
forty must be more frequently men
toned lest we forget the fact that our
physique was evolved for only 35 or
40 years Of strenuous use.
1t was not so long ago that forty
five was extreme old age, counting
time in the large way Of evolution
Lengthening of life has been possible
only because civilization has let up
the physical strains, so that if we
continue them we must expect to
break as Of old.
Athletes stop their efforts merely
because they are beaten by younger
men, but the non-athletic seem to
think that it is necessary to keep up
excessive exercise though the tissues
simply cannot stand it.
There is then no mystery in the
large number of damaged hearts now
being found and they will continue to
Increase in number and severity until
the medical profession succeeds in
impressing the s2sson. Let US repeat
it over and over again until every man
over forty or forty-fve realizes that
he has lived his allotted time of ply
steal vigor and must ease up the
strains to retain his health.
