Nichols, for- mer president of the American Chemical society. Then no one would die until the body just naturally wore out like an aged ma- chine, barring accidents and such killers as lightning. It is pleasant to contem- plate, Why wait 50 years? The famous Dr. Wiley, in his 80’s, recently said: “If lux- ury could be destroyed and all hou burned to drive us outdoors, the diseases which kill us old and middle-aged men would disappear, That's true. Disease as a rule isn’t much to fear. The great danger is in a lowering of the body’s powers of resistance or fighting off disease, And lowered resistance is an inevitable result of living an unnatural life. Of course, as time goes on, man’s body adapts itself to its environment — becomes im- mune to conditions and germs that have killed city dwellers before long environ- ment led to immunization. 3) Q When and where [wire suspe: sion bridge bullt? 1322 }try.
