KEEPING WELL WHAT KILLS US? OK. nUDDERICK R. CUKE* K4H«r at “HEAI.TH" LIFE is a warfare. It Is a struggle between the Individual human animal and his surroundings. It always has been. Sometime, far back ln the dim past, tbe first human being appeared. Whether, as ancient myth and Mr. Bryan say, the first man was created by a direct act of God, or whether, as slowly accumulated knowl-l edge shows, man was developed by slow and gradual changes ln other forms of life, doesn't matter. Sometime, somewhere, somehow, man appeared. Like all other forms of life, man has always had to struggle for his existenee. He bad to hunt and often fight! for food to keep himself alive. He ltad to fight to defend himself against wild animals, often stronger than himself. He hod to fight other men who wanted wbat he hud or who had what he wanted. We don’t have to fight wild animals today. They have, ln most parts of the world, been exterminated or tamed. Few of us have to fight or hunt for food, though we all have to struggle for some way of getting 1L But, for every one of us, life is a warfare against enemies inside or outside our bodies, which would kill us before our time. Only a few persons today live until their bodies wear out by natural processes. Even then, we cannot tell yet whether old ago la or is not an avoidable and postponable disease. What kills us? In 1921, ln the registration area which includes a population of 91,504,089, or about 82 per cent of the 110,663,502 people In our 48 states, there were 1,032,009 deaths, or an average of 11.6 for every thousand. Os these, only 10,938, or almost exactly 1 per cent, died from old age. Accidents of various kinds killed 72,932. Babies who died in the first year of life, many of them because of some defect or weakness due to causes existing before their birth, numbered 160,91 L So those who died from old age, from a poor start and from accident amount to 252,951, or almost 25 per cent All the rest numbering about 750,900, died of some kind of infection, from some poisoning, animal or vegetable which got Into their bodies through the mouth, the lungs or the gkin and killed them. It may have been typhoid through the mouth or tuberculosis, pneumonia, Influenza, diphtheria, scarlet fever or measles through the throat and lung.s, or malaria through the skin, heart disease ( or Bright's disease from poisons from 1 Infections elsewhere ln the body. All came from without So 75 per cent of us are dying and will die from outside foes which civilized man Is fighting today Just as the cavemen, ten thousand years ago, fought the saber-toothed tiger.
