Why Jews Live so Long.

The Keui England Medical MnniUy comments very favorably on the proverbially lons and healthful lives of the Jews. Dr. Pickard holds that this superiority is dqe to their stringent health laws. The Mosaic, like the older Egyptian code, is very stringent legarding the eating of flesh and other articles of food. Of the animals examined, a large proportion are always condemned as untit for food. People who eat meat indiscriminately are very prone to disorders of the blood and of the kidneys, for meat is composed of nitrogen, which the kidneys have to remove from the blood, and of course they cannot do this successfully except by the aid of Warner’s safe cure, the best kidney strengthener, unless it is temperately partaken of and only the very best meat is used. Jews also use alcoholic liquors very sparingly, and thus keep up good digestion, and then again they are a holiday-loving and Sabbath-observing class— Hotusekeeper.
