At an advanced period of life, the spine (from causes which, if the reader will only step into St. Thomas's Hospital, for a few minutes, Mr. Abernethy will clearly explain to him, ) begins to be shortened through its whole length and such a general drying in of the whole system takes place, that many persons who have been tall, portly, and respectable in early and middle life, are found to degenerate sadly, and become little, shrivelled up, withered old men and women, be fore they die.
