PROMOTING LONG LIFE.
Nowadays, said a medical man, long life is becoming more and more a question of health and fitness. The strong mind, even when allied with a defective physical frame, will often outlive those whose vigour is purely physical. Only in modern times have we begun to realise to what an extent .. the brain controls, sustains, and vitalises the body. This is why to day we see men of seventy and eighty years actively engaged in business life, and in many instances quite youthful in their ideas and mental energies. I could give you a dozen instances offhand. The fact is that ia the higher nerve centres evolution goes on late in life ; in fact, it is possible that, with Increasing mental development, centenarians will eventually become plentiful.
