Typhoid fever ragged. Diphtheria and smallpox were common
Affections. Child birth was associated with a terrifying death rate for
mother and baby.
Go through these old cemeteries and read the inscriptions on the
tombstones: You will be shocked to find how many young mothers
and infant children gave their lives to the unsanitary and unscientifc
conditions of that early day.
If the babies did not die the day Of birth. a third Of the survivors
died within a year. Indeed, the average expectation Of life wa only
forty years. There were centenanans, of course. but they were the
notable exceptions.
We have every reason to thank God and take courage. We are
better off in a thousand ways than were those brave, old pioneers
But there is much to learn from their lives. They had qualities
and habits that are good for US to possess.
They were not afraid Of the out-of-doors. They walked a lot
They exercised their muscles They were in athletic trim all the time.
Our lives are too soft We do not Isl our muscles, ever those
having to do with the chewing of food. The food itself is robbed
of husk, covering and fibre. In consequence, the muscles of the
intestinal walls have little to do. Constipation results.
We must not be too puffed up over the improvements Of modern
times. Great as they are, they have not made life any safer between
the ages Of thirty and sixty. In that period disease is just as fatal as
it was a hundred years ago.
That is the time of life when strict attention should be given to
the rules of personal hygiene and conduct. Fresh air, sunlight, mod
crate exercise, plenty of sleep, simple food and temperate eating,
cleanliness Of the body, lots of water to drink and a contented mind
these are important at all ages. but they are absolutely essential
between thirty and sixty.
Live a modified pioneer life during these years and old age viii
be a Joy to you. You won't be a decrept, toothess, rheumatic cripple
in advanced life, If you live as you should between youth and old age.
