MIDDLE LIFE
None of us is. perfect. We accept,
as a matter of course, that, in one
way or another, we fall short of per-
fection., It ise however, -a matter of
importance for us to know in what
ways and .to what extent our bodies
are defective.
Some defects are of but little or
rio significance other than from an
aesthetic point of view. There are,
.however, other defects or disturbanc-
es which mean a deviation from the
normal„ and these may be of grave
import in their significance.
Most of the diseases of middle 'life
are insidious in their nature; from in-
significant beginnings, they slowly
progress to a point where disabling
symptoms are noticed. This applies
to, the chronic diseases of middle life,
known, as the degenerative diseases,
which are due to changes in the
heart, arteries and kidneys.
It would be, most desirable to have
these diseases detected early so that I

luarly with regard to diet, the condi-
tion might be corrected or checked.
One purpose of the periodic health
examination is to find out the con-
dition of the various organs of the
body and to detect any changes that
may have occurred.
It is in middle life that such
changes should be looked for because
it is at that time of life that they .be-
gin to develop. That is why the
business man's practice of making at
least an annual inventory should be
extended to include an annual health
inventory of the business man and
his family. I-fealth is our most pre-
cious possession. If itis worth while
to take stock of our financial posi-
tion, it is 'much more necessary to
take stock of the physical and men-
tal condition of our bodies;
To accept disease as inevitable and
to make no reasonable effort -to ward
it off places us on a level with prim-
itive people who considered disease
as the work of evil spirits. The body
is a complex machine. It,requires a
periodic overhauling to keep it run-
ning smoothly and efficiently, and
thus prevent the breakdowns which
otherwise will occur.
Age should not mean incapacity.,
Too little attention has been given to
the need of adult life. We have ac-
cepted the health supervision of bab-
ies and school children as desirable:
there is every reason to carry this
same desirable practice into middle
and later life.
Questions concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
