TUK PACK THAT KILLS
A most significant warning concerning our health recentlv
came from Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of The Journal of the
American Medical Association, and thus one of the foremost I
authorities on health in this country. j
He pointed out that while medical science had made many;
important discoveiies which have tended to make the nation
healthier, statistics show that people are not living longer.
It is true that real strides have been made in combating'
infant mortality. lieeause of improved health standards and
wider dissemination of knowledge concerning the care of
children, their chances of living through infancy have been
greatly increased. Also more lives of middle-aged persons
aro saved, due to remarkable operatfons and more skilled
physicians.
But the story is different when old age conies. Dr. Fishbein
points out. The human body is a wonderful mechanism, but
it wears out, and unlike our modern machines, parts of it
cannot he renewed.
We try to keep up the pace of youth. We do not guard our
health at the very time when our strength must be coiuervcd.
We worry loo much. We do not give medical science a
chance to accomplish its wonders, and we foreet that while
it can do much it cannot woik miracles.
In some of the more isolated sections of the country where
'.he fast pace of nmdein civilisation has not yet spread, people
are living to remarkable ages. Although mortality rates
among Indian children are high, many Indians are living
beyond the age of SO years. These facts seem to add weight,
to Dr. Fishbein's conclusion that e are living too fast or
worrying loo much or working loo hard and are not watching
our health as we should.
His warning is "Slow I'p!" We all know he is right, but
too many American people would rather live a bit faster and
not tiiite so long.
