Success Prolongs Life.
It is now well-known that increased complexity of life with increased expenditure distinctly aids longevity. Luxury, "the fertile parent of a whole family of diseases," modifies it greatly, of course, but this (says the New York " World ") is a manageable factor. We have only to recall personal experience to realise the force of intellectual stimulation. The interest of sport will sustain men without fatigue for distances they otherwise could not traverse. The excitement of strife will often mask the presence of wounds. Self-forgetfulness in all walks of life, under the stress of love, chivalry, or accepted duty, doubles human endurance. Success gives new vitality, new powers, and this is another name for new life.
