1t is really a shame that
everyone does not have geria-

Two Factors
DR.. Edward L. Bortz long
has been a leader in this

himself as believing that two
factors which contribute to
deterioration and premature
breakdown are an ill-bal-

stress.
We can definitely eliminate
one-faulty diet. We cannot
entirely control the stresses
we are subjected to but we
can sometimes adapt better

certainly can cut out useless

Many folks are misled by
the terms "gerontology" and
"geriatrics." 1t is true that
medical care of the aged is
one branch of these but the
real vision is to prolong the
youthful portion of life by
putting preventative medi-
cine into practice long before
acute conditions arise.
For instance, the medical
profession knows that the
average man or woman of so
or more is very likely to be
calcium poor, iron poor and
protein poor.
More Comprehensive
The idea is to prevent the
development of such condi-
tionS long before that age
with hygienic living, diet,
and medication when needed.
