94 CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL. , 62 Work and Longevity. An English statistical report enumerates thirty-three persons upwards of one hundred years of age alive in Great Britain in the year 1893. The oldest of these, as usual, was a woman, whose age was one hundred and sixteen. One of the most striking facts in relation to these centenarians is that they lived lives of simplicity and industry. In commenting upon this fact, the London Lancet remarks : If in any direction it is allowable for competitors in the race of life to dispense with self-control, it would appear that they may to a great extent use this liberty with respect to physical and mental exertion. Nature has made large allowance for the inevitable necessity of labor, and has even practically in some cases sanctioned an overstrain of energy, provided that due care be taken to conserve the vital powers by temperance in other things. It is not useful work, but worry which kills men. Over-work of the stomach, liver, or kidneys is vastly more damaging to a man than over-work of the brain or muscles, since so long as the stomach is intact, over-worked muscles may be easily repaired ; and so long as the liver and kidneys retain their integrity, the consequences of excessive brain work are easily removed by the elimination of the resulting poisons from the body. Millions die from over-work, but it is over-work at the dinner table rather than in the field, the work shop, or the counting room. Hard work is healthful. The majority of men, and women also for that matter, are suffering, not from over-work, but from too light work. More work is required, It may be mental activity or more muscular exercise, Evil results from work, flow not from excessive work, but from the neglect to give each class of organs the due and proper amount of exercise. —Medical Brief. ________ The autopsy 011 President parnot revealed that the wound was situated immediately below the false ribs on the right side, three centimetres from the xiphoid cartillage. It measured 20 to 25 mm,, and the knife had cut completely through the corresponding costal cartillage. The dagger penetrated the left lobe of the liver, about 5 or 6 milimetres from the suspensory ligament. It passed from left to right, and from above downwards, wounding the portal vein in two places ; the tract of the wound in the interior of the liver measured 11 to 12 centimetres,—Annals de Medicine.
