Excerpt from The Sanitarian, Vol. 27: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Preservation of Health, Mental and Physical Culture; July to December, 1891
The age of Dr. Parr, as he was called, appears to be well authenticated. It has the testimony of Harvey, who dissected his body and found all the organs in a sound and healthful condition. Charles the First sent for Dr. Parr, who had become famous by reason of his extreme age. Dr. Parr went to court, where he was feasted, and, eating too much, died from a fit of indigestion. He might have lived many years longer - in fact, he may be said to,have died from an accident.
There would then seem to be abundant evidence that, not only among the patriarchs who lived after the flood, but among those who lived in modern times also, instances are not wanting of deaths approaching the age of 200 years, which would seem to be about the extreme limit possible for man to attain.
