Doctors Agree
Mans LifeSpan
Greatly Increased
Philadelphia OP Science has
made great strides in increasing
man's life span. Now, one ol the
biggest problems facing the med
ical profession today is making
those added years healthful, hap
py and useful.
' That was the opinion of more
than 800 physicians from all over
the country who gathered here
for a medical conference on the
problems of advancing years.
Throughout the meeting, the
warning was sounded again and
again that something must be
done to give men and women not
only long we, dui a neaiiniui,
happy and useful old age.
The sad truth Is that man's life
has been extended beyond his
present capacity to enjoy it as a
useful citizen, the medical auth
orities agreed. For in prolonging
life, science also prolonged suf
fering and misery all the chron
ic Illnesses and disability which
plague mankind in the twilight
years.
, New Era Possible
1 The situation sounds gloomy.
But most of the authorities
agreed that if old age infirmi
ties are conquered, the world will
enter into a golden era, peopled
with older, more mature and
wiser men and women who may
be able to devise a world of
peace.
Geriactrics the study of old
age and its ailments is largely
unexplored. But authorities warn
ed that the problems and disord
ers of the "the second forty years
Of life" must be tackled now.
There are now more than 10,
000,000 people in the United
States more than 65 years of age
and the population of old folks is
growing rapidly with each pass
ing year. In another decade, mil
lions more men and women will
Become vulnerable to the tragedy
doctors refer to as the "semi
parasitic existence" common in
later years.
Longevity is here," Dr. Ed
ward J. Stlglitz of Baltimore and
Washington told the meeting.
"We are Indeed entering an "age
of age.' But old age with con
tinued vigor, usefulness and en
joyment of life is attained only
by a few. Prolongation of life In
the relatively unfit may some
day Jeopardize the survival of
the fit. The problem of chronic
illness is urgent."
Early Start Advised
Most authorities believe the
problem must be attacked in the
early years.

must be placed on the long list of
chronic, illnesses, the insidiuous
degenerative ailments which have
been growing more and more pre
valent and account for disability
among the aged. Most of those
illnesses begin in the middle
years.
Dr. Chaunccy' Leake of the
University of Texas said young
people as early as high school
should be taught how to grow
old, that is, how to Cultivate hob
bles and intellectual curiosity,
and how to develop a systematic
regimen ior physical and mental
nygicne. Dr. LcaKc said the coun
try should have an "old age pro
gram" similar -to the child care
program.
He also urged increased re
search on trugs which may help
the aged by preventing the dis
orders to which old people arc
subject. But lie dismissed hope
for -an "ellxcr of life" or miracle
drug which will prolong life or
youth. "Hormones don't,do it and
won't do It, even if a lot of people
seem to think so," he added.
