 Achieved By Insulin
Many Noticeable Health Improvements Noted Since
 Discovery of Drug TWenty=One Years Ago

them to live not as invalids but normally.
 As an example of how insulin has prolonged human life, the statisti- clans cite the experience of l0-year- old diabetics who, when treated with insulin, can now expect, on the average, to live nearly 40 times as long after contracting the disease as did the diabetic child in the days before insulin.
 Mortality Rate
 The statisticianS have made study of mortality among diabetics treated at the George F. Baker Clinic of Boston and their analysis shows that while all diabetics have therapy, the treatment has been most effective in reducing mortality anon young persons. Sharp drops have occurred in the general death rate among diabetics, and especially in their mortality from causes most amenable to control by the right regime for diabetics," such as dia- betic coma, gangrene and tuber- culoSiS.
 Expressing the reductions in mortality from diabetes in terms of the corresponding gains in longe-- vity, the statisticians say:
 To-day, the average diabetic child of 10 may be expected to celebrate his 50th birthday, whereas just prior fo 1000 y,oet <liohofic cbildrayo livo6 little more than one year after the onset of the disease. At age 30 the expectation of life now is 27h years, compared to little more than six years in the days before moulin. Even at age 50 the improvement is sizable, with an expectation of life of 141a years today, which is 50 per cent more than in the pre-insulin era. And these added years of life are useful and active, not years of inavlidism. The diabetic of today Is usually able to take his place in the home and in the community, and to lead an almost norml life. The diabetic child goes to school and joins his comrades in study and in play. The adult diabetic is steady and productive worker and com petes successfully with his CO., workers Moreover, this great i'm provement in the active life of the typical diabetic is of particular importance, because the number of these persons in the population is not only large, but is actually in creasing through the aging of the population and through the in- creased survivals aof younger dia- betic patients to older ages. By 1850 our diabetics may numbeB mill lion"
 This transformation in the per- sonal and social status of the dia- betic patient" add the statisticians. is due very largely to the epoch- making discovery of insulin, the culminatlon in sequence of dis ! coveries regarding the nature of diabetes dating back to 1846 in France. Research is still in prog ress
 After the first success with the original insulin, investigators have continued to develop and test vari- ous types and combinations of the substance in their effort to obtain 8 drug that shall in its action ap- preach as closely as possible to the insulin in the normal human body Whil today success is only partial, in due course a cure, or better still 8 mode of prevention, may be evolved"
