To Live One Hundred Years
By DR. JOHN B. RICH.
(Dr. Rich is 94 years old; the oldest native New Yorker now living in that city.)
If you wish to become a centenarian be good-natured; be clean; exercise; be comfortable; sleep in the most comfortable bed you can get; don't eat twice as much as you need, and don't eat food that will abuse that poor old muscle, the human stomach.
The greatest wonder is not how people manage to live to the age of 100 years, but how so many of them manage to live for 35 years.
They haven't time, they say, to take a little exercise, they haven't time to study the laws of hygiene and they put things into their stomachs without a thought as to whether their food and drink are calculated to make good, rich blood.
