Answer TO Question No. 1
Yes. After studying sew
eral hundred engaged couples,
sociologists E. w. Burgress and
Paul Wallin. University of Chi
cage, summed up their findings
by saying: Health is a factor
in mate selection. The tendency
is for the very healthy, the
healthy and those OF poorer
health to seek in marriage per-
sons whose health is similar to
their own" All studies agree
that like tends TO marry like,
even in the matter OF health.
The neurotin also tends to
marry the neurotic.
Answer TO Question No. 2
