LIFE or MEDICAL MAN.-1'here is not any career which so rapidly wears away the powers of life, because there is other which requires great CT activity of mind and body. He has to bear the changes of wleater, continued fatigue, regularity in his meals, and broken resi- to live in the midst of miasma and contagion. If in the country he has to traverse considerable distances on horseback, ex- posed to wind and storm; to brave all dangers to go to the relief of suffering humanity. A fearful truth for medical men has been established by the table of mortality of Dr. Casper, published in the British Re- view. Of 1000 members of the medical profession, 600 died before their sixty second year, whilst of persons leading quiet liie such agrcultursts or theologians, the mortality is only 347. Ii we take 100 individuals of each of these classes. 43 theoo. gians, 40 agrcultursts, S5 clerks, and g soldiers will reach their seventeth year, of 100 professors of the healing art, 24 only will reach that age, They are the sign posts to heah they can show the road to old age, but rarely tread it themselves.
