AVERAGE LIFE SPAN DECREASE IS SHOWN

Dean of Indiana University School of Medicine Says ‘Expectancy’ Figure Has Fallen Three Years.

“The man of forty can look forward to three fewer years of life than could the man of thirty years ago!” says Dean Charles P. Emerson, of I lie Indiana University School of Medicine. This means that our grandfathers had it nil over us in the matter of longevity, and that the “expectancy” of life has taken a tumble of three years in the past, thirty. "Due, of course,” Dr. Emerson remarked, “to the high pressure of modern living conditions.” And we can't help it. We wear ourselves out with increasing dis patch, the doctor says, because our cities are over more crowded, our transportation is constantly geared to higher speed, and our food and drink supplies must como from longer distances. "My statement may not agree with the ‘expectancy’ age given out. by the. insurance companies,” said Dr. Emerson, “but they of course, can judge only from the material with which they deal. They do not take infant life into calculation.” Diferent Hazards “The hazards of babyhood are not the hazards which confront adult life. The former, modern medical science has marvelously conquered, and longevity fit th's end of the life line, has receiv'd an impetus, hut the dis S *se -of the adult —especially a f A lie lias reached forty, still loom menacingly and bring down the life ‘expectancy.’ ” The worst of it is that we're not likely to make gain in longevity according ( i Dr. Emerson. “How can we expert to?” he asks. “The man of some years ago was quite likely to have his own little garden, his own cow, and he undoubtedly could live more calmly and sanely. This gave him longevity advantage. Figures Given “The average duration of human life in Indiana is given out by the .State board of health as from 43 to 53 years and that sounds better than the ‘expectancy’ of the .Middle No more RHEUMATISM IT’S GONE! That awful agony! Rheumatism can't stand the rich, red blood that S. S. S. helps Nature build. But rheumatism will bring pain and misery to your joints and muscles just as long as you are without plenty of rich, red blood in your system. It’s the red-blood-cells that S. S. S. helps Nature build that drive out of your system the impurities that cause rheumatism. And until you do build up your blood to where it is pure and rich and red, you simply can’t get rid of rheumatism. And S. S. S. is the thing. Red blood conquers rheumatism. Everybody knows that. S. S. S. means millions of red-blood-cells —means health all over. No more rheumatism. Nights of rest days of joy, —, filled with the hap- f piness of accomplish- 1 (f* @ ) ment —made possible V ) by a body brimful of red blooded life, / energy and vitality. That’s what the end of rheumatism means —that’s what S. S. S. brings to you. Get S. S. S. from your druggist. The larger bottle is more economical. —Advertisement

Ages which, was 19 years, but nevertheless, we’ve been slipping.” In spite of this somewhat appalling fact, the doctor is enthusiastic regarding the future of medical science. Ho feels (hat what he terms “biological therapy,” which is different from the old “drug therapy” is on a constantly ascending curve of triumph. "It might be said,” he asserted, “that drug therapy was the twilight of modern medical science, and that in hiological therapy (which includes what, we call ‘preventive’ measures) we are entering into a bright dayight of medical advancement.” Hospital Problem The doctor asserted that the average hospital has a long way to go before it gives the bitizen of the middle classes as fair a deal as is that accorded to the extremely poor or the really rich man. "It is a pre-conclusion that ttw pauper will not pay,” remarked Emerson, “but he must have complete treatment —and he gets it. The rich man pays for it and reaps accordingly, but the average citizen, when (hero are heavy hospital and nurse bills is taxed for these services entirely out of proportion to his means. “The hospital which will base its charges in proportion to the patient’s income will solve the problem for tlie man of average income. There are a few hospitals in the country which have already adopted this plan. Henry Ford has one of them—Let us hope for more.”
