HARO WORK AT 87.
SIR CRICHTON-BROWNE’S HOPE.
MAN’S NATURAL AGB 100,
Sir James Crichton-Browne, the famous physician, who -has pas®ed the 65th anniversary of! his M.D. degree, celebrated his 87th birthday last month by working as hard as he has ever done in his strenuous life. On a day that was not at all exceptional he “took part ip two meetings; did a considerable amount of literary work (he isi producing two scientific books for publication) ; wrote many letters ; attended to medical, social, and other i niter ests.” To his friends Sir James said that he had always agreed with the Statement of. Flourens, the French anatomist, that a man’s natural age was 100, and that it was only because of. the folly of mankind that' the human span fell short of this. He added that he intended to live to the age of 100 himself. .
Sir James, who 22 years ago wrote a work on “The Prevention of Senility,” is as agile as a man'of 40, clearskinned and healthily rosy beneath his picturesque side-whiskers and long, curled moustache. He says hi® energy is unimpaired and his memory as good as ever it wafe.
