WARNING TO YOUTH.
“ Too Old at Forty is Folly.” LONDON, May 14 " The cry of ‘ too old at forty ’ is folly,” said Sir Thomas Oliver, the distinguished physician, in an address recently. “ Youth, with its aspirations, and conscious of its strength, feeling that its advance is impeded by seniors in front of it, harbours feelings of embitte/ment', and, -Whether believing it or not, supports the misleading statement of * too old ac forty,’ ** continued Sir Thomas. “ Youth keeps challenging the right of its seniors, and is jealous of them, while the seniors are envious of the physical strength of the younger men and of the possible opportunities in front of them. 1 If the ejderlv have to step aside because of the incessant demands of youth and its growing numbers, then, owing to the increased longevity of the race, there will be a larger number of aged people for the State, and the taxpayer to maintain.”
