Synopsis
Excerpt from Longevity: Devoted to the Prolongation of Life
In subsequent issues of longevity, while the personal element will receive first attention, it is hoped that interest may also be aroused in the more general factors upon which longevity also depends.
Up to about ten years ago, while this country ex pended millions for the improvement of hogs and cattle, not a dollar was contributed to the improvement of the human race. A committee of 100 of the Learned Societies started a propaganda which resulted in the present Unit ed States Public Health service. But the Agricultural Appropriation Bill calls for something like for Agricultural work, and the protection of Animals, while the amount appropriated for public health work is a trifling part of this sum. (figures for both will be shortly given.) A Government for, of and by the people is a fine thing. It has worked very well when the population was small, but the time has arrived when we must make the government what we say it is, instead of leaving the affair to professional politicians, as we are doing at pres ent.

Longevity: Devoted to the Prolongation of Life (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of human longevity throughout historical periods, examining factors that have influenced the length and quality of life. The author argues that while scientific and medical discoveries have played a significant role, social, political, and economic factors are equally important in determining longevity. The book delves into various historical figures and their contributions to the field, such as Dr. Rush, who first proposed alcohol prohibition as a means to enhance lifespan, and Metchnikoff, who explored the connection between auto-intoxication and aging. The author also investigates the impact of social and cultural norms, government policies, and economic disparities on health outcomes. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of human longevity and the interconnections between individual choices, societal conditions, and the pursuit of a longer, healthier life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332826902_0
