Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Economic Aspect of Lengthening Human Life
First, the continuance, until recently, of the tradition that human mortality follows a nearly invariable law, and a law which can not be appreciably affected by any act of man.
Second, after it became known to experts that human life is greatly extensible through public and private hygiene, this knowl edge was possessed by so few, that the general public, and even the rank and file of the medical profession, remained of the contrary belief, and the inertia of their conservative opinion prevailed.
