In medicine, as: in religion, we are coming . more and more to trust to nature. e two great enemies of mankind have always been the cooks and the doctors:: The eooks make us ill, and the doctors, poor devils! try to undo with their drugs what the cooks have done. But the drug superstition is fast passing, and it will pass entirely when the public has been educated up to an appreciation of the remedial powers of nature provided for in our own _— “Our confidence’ in the doctor,” said Emerson, ‘is a want of confi- dence in ourselves,” a want of con- fidence in the nature that works with- in us. The éfficacy of drugs is more in their power over the mind than in their power over the body, and any innocent deception the physician may practice on his patients in this re- spect—bread pills, sac. lac., and so on—will count in his favor in the day of final hag but, the phar- macists will be,the losers. Two factors enter into the problem of long life, the primary one a matter of constitution and heredity, the sec- gudary one, hygiene.

Old Dr“Parr who is reputed to have livéd to the great age of 152 years might have lived still longer had not the king invited him to London and overted him. A few years ago therd was a laboring man living near the Erie railway in Sullivan County, New York State, who was said to be 112 years of age. Pietro, the sculptor, went there and made a bust of him which, I believe, is at the Gorman galleries in New York. The man was a common workman and still earned his living in that way. He was said to be a light eater, and did not use alcoholte drinks but smoked a pipe. The standard of iength of days a- mong the male members of my own family is about eighty years. My father died at eighty-one, my brother next my senior, at eighty, the one next younger at seventy-nine. I my- self have lived longer than any other man of my name of whom I have known. Ishould-have been dead two or three years ago had I not stolen a march upon Time by more hygienic living than that of my fathers. It is setdom that a man lives to a greater age than his father, but my father set me the example of outliving his father by nearly,ten years, and I am quite willing to outlive him by as many rs. I have found life so le,\and the world such a good Plage to bé in, that I want to prolong my stay as long as possible.

With health like the bloom on the grape how much more the day means! “Give me health and a day,"’ says Emerson, “and I will make ‘the pomp of kings ridiculous.” Give me health and a day, and I will show you the perennial sources of health in the fieltis and woods all about us. very bird and flower and tree and stream and cloud shall point you toe them. Health can paint the rose and perfume the lily and sweeten the fountain. It brings Arcadias to your door. Every walk reveals to you a land of wonders. You are attun-| ed to the beauty and harmony of] the world. “In geod -health,”” again says “Emerson,. ‘‘the of incredible virtue.”" to speak from as tondition of mind and body which suggests.the bloom bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight under a elouded sky, without haying in“ my perfect exhilaration.

If a foreign object, such as a bullet, lodges in the body, the cells proceed to encyst it in the same way.

The pat- fent's death had been from pulmon- ary tuberculosis. The spirit of the body fights against all forms of di- sease in much the same way. If it is fighting the malarial germs, you can help it with quinine, but quinine is one of few unquestionable specifics} in the long list of drugs. Emerson thinks that one- capital result of old age is that man has done his work and can rest on his laurels, But is not that very much like congratulating a sailor wh ship is stranded upon. the beach that ere are no more voyages to make? it old age leaves a man with nothing to do, no-matter witat lautéls he miy | have won, is he to be envied? “Noth- ing is the ha¥dest burden for an ald man to carry.” Cicero says that Plato died at eighty-one while writing, and that Sophocles wr; Tete tragedies up to extreme old age.’ Newton worked up to the end of his eighty-five years, To die in the harness, not yet feel- ing the decay of one’s powérs, is the end desirable.

How many old farmers I have known who have in old age petia their. farms and retired to the But how soon the Village phe the gossips palled upon them! Their currents of life stagnated. There is no more melancholy spect- — than an octogenarian stranded in’ his chimney corner. It is good to have done one’s work, but it is bad to feel that there is no more work to do. Nature takes the hint and soon re- moves such old mén from the. stage. The moral is, stick to the farm, stick to the coun Matthew Arnold did not reach old age; he died at sixty-eight; but he took a discouraging view of it in his poem “On Growing Old.” His “sad heredity of soul” led him to cheer- less anticipations of it: It is to spend lang d And not Once fee] that cl were ever It is to add; immured In the hot prison of the present, month To month with weary pain. It is to suffer this And feel but half, ‘and feebly, what we feel. Deep in our hidden heart Festers the dull remembrance of a change, But no emotion—none: If:.old age were this, then. indeed -might one shrink from its approach. Tennyson in his poem on Evolution! takes quite a different view: I have climbed to the snows of Age, and I gaze at a field in the Past, ere I sank with the body. at times-in the slough of a low desire, : But I hear no yelp of the beast and the man ‘fs quiet at last As he stande-on the heights of his life with a-glimpse of a height that is higher.

Thejart of growing old is an art in a Stricter sense than is life before middie age. A man must have more care of hig vital resources. He can- not with impunity spend himself so reely. He must avoid the steep, rough paths of life. To grow old gracefully and cheerfully, and wel- come the years bravely, is to be mas- ‘ter of the‘art. Beware of loss of interest in life, beware of stagnation. e ‘currents must be kept going. Humboldt lived to be nety, and -wrote his masterwork, Kosmos, dur- ing his last years. He slept but four hours out of the twenty-four and worked at midnight. James Martin- eau reached ninety and wrote his Seat of Authority in Religion at eighty- five. Cardinal Newman reached eighty-seven, and brother, T. W- Newmet, lived to-ninety-two. “The gift of andy ite falls upon the worthy and the unworthy alike.

Being a primate, I should live only on fruits and nuts, but for vegetables and to cut oft’ cof- fee, tea, pepper, tobacco, and all alcoholic beverages. But so- dif- ferent are our wants! I found in California a well-known. artist of my own age who eats no fruits and no vegetables but who smokes and takes a bottle of stout, and often other wine, and meat daily.
