AVERAGE LENGTH OF HUMAN LIFE
IS TO HE 100 YEARS, SAYS MAYO
DR. WILLIAM M .\ T.
_ _ i
i! World Famous Surgeon Says Cancer Soon Will
Be Under Control of Medical Science
Dr. William Mayo comes of a
family that. apparently thinks
the practice Of‘llletlk‘llle is the
. only profession worth following.
Since .1627 all of his direct. on-
cestors have been doctors. His
brother is a doctor. His duuizli-
tors have married doctors. Bis
nephews are doctors. and all of
his nieces have. married thietors.
“Tile idea .of being anything
else has never even dawned on
us.” Dr. Mayo admits with a
laugh. “Just as circus babies
eighteen months old are taught to
turn SOIIICI'NIIIHS and learn to
stand on the bat-ks of horses alg
most before they can we ik. so the
iliinyos. from father to sun. have
done their teething on a volume
of’nnatoniy or physiology.”
NEW ORLEANS, .La” Nov. 28.——
The average length or human life
will soon be 100 years.
Cancer will eventually be entirely
under the control of medical science.
Tubciculosls will be a rare all-
went.
Good health will be the. heritage
of every person in America.
These are the outstanding declara'
ticns in an interview given exclusive:
1y by Dr. VViIiiam Mayo, world fa-
mous surgeon, who. with his bro-
ther. conducts the great clinic that
has made the little town or Roches-
ter. Minn. known throughout the
the earth.
. He gave‘this interview seated on
the deck of the yacht in which he
has been cruising the Mississippi.
“Modern medicine.” he began.
"that in the past forty years has
given humanity a life-span increase
from an average of forty—two years
to'fiftypclght years. is on the thres-
hold of discoveries compared to
which all the marvels of medicine
that have gone before the meresi
child's play. ._ ,
Predicts Average Man .
Will Live 100 Years '
“Medlclnb will conquer the in-
nrml'ies of a“, and a. normal life
expecn ncy ot’ years is by no
means a fantastic 0dream.
“Henry of Naiarre said that he
wanted to see every peasant in
France have a. chicken in the pot.
A ruler of his power today Would
change that prescription and want
to see health in every home in his
realm. And his possible.
“America‘s physicians and sur-
geons are wide awake and alert-in
their battle for public health. They
know what they are doing and are
becoming more expert day by day.
Less and less the public is accepting
disease and death as divinewisita-
tions and the will or God. It was
only through our own indiscretions
that disease has shortened life. The
doctors aromaking us get back to
the teachings of the Bible."
The famous physician leaned for-
ward in his chair and almost shout-
ed the word "Cancer!"
“1 know that it can be cured now!
in its earlier stages. and it is often
being cured by surgery after the
early stages are past." he said.
"We are getting after cancer.
More and more often we are con-
quering it. We have not succeeded
entirely yet. but some day. maybe
not. in my time. we will succeed.
Medicine Dliided 0n
Question Of Cancer.
"Medicine is diiided into ‘two
camps on cancer. One camp‘ be-
News that cancer comes to the hu-
man body from the outside The
other camp works on the beief that
cancer is produced inside the hu-
man bed?-
“1 would not say that I am com-
pletely allied to either camp. Can-
car is a world- wide problem. did
we know this. at least—~that it
comes in many cases from irrita-
tions. .

to have a. hundred.
“So we find that somethlnyaiivnys

And modern medicine is working
against cancer from l'iOlll sides and
is closing loan it.
Tuberculosis Vanishing
Before Modern Science.
"And in tubercul05is. public edu-
cation in sanitation and health has
done wonders. We know that we
are getting rid of tuberculosis by
stamping out the conditions that
bring it. And we are checking can-
cer by stopping it before it is can-
cer.
'I lay it down as an absolute rule
that every human being. from earl-
iest childhood. should go to a doctor
for a complete and thorough exam«
ination once a year. at the very
least. if humanity did that there
is no way of estimating the human
lives that would be saved and
lengthened.
“Tho liciVSpapors can help to an
extraordinary degree, I‘iiiIt-ss pub-
licity for all fakes and quarks is
humanity's only protection against
the evils they bring."
Then Dr. Mayo turned to pro.
hibition. He explained that lack of
reliable data. prevented him from
saying what part of America’s tin-a.
provement in general health is due
to prohibition. and declared:
"it was pure water that
prohibition in America, not any
inorai issue or political policy. I
was in Henna when that city first
got pure drinking water. brought
down to the city fiom the mountain
splings. The Viennese suddenly
learned that they could drink water
without fear of sickness or death.
in ten years after that the con-
sumption of wines and beers in
Vienna decreasedvio per cent.
made
"National prohibition is not a.
failure. Prohibition. as it now ex-
ists'in America. is only a process of
educating the American people to
the néed of prohibition. and an ex-
pcriment leading to the institution
of an established means of govern-
mental conirol over intoxicating li-
quors.
Forsees Regulation
of Our Liquor Supply
"Something will soon be done to
regulate properly this great na-
tional problem. The time will come
soon when a. real method of sensible
control and regulation which will be
fair and just will be adopted.
"The American people are begin-
ning to realize that something must
be done. That is'precisely the pur-
oso of prohibition as we. have it
oday. It is working toward an
end. a good end. and for that rea-
son I cannot feel that it is a fail-
ure ".
Dr. Mayo added that his clinic was
receiving fewer cases 01 alcoholism
than in pre~prohibitlon days, and
that surgical cases do not include
as many instances of lowered resist-
ance due to alcoholism as in former
years. . -
The famous surgeon then took oc-
casion to defend modern youth and
the "Jazz age" and scoffed at. the
notion that conditions among young
people nre worse than when he was

“Dr. Mayo.” he asked. ”you've
saved lives. You're in the work you
love. You' to had success. profession-
ally and financially. It you could
have your wish—any wish you
might make—what would it be?"
The physician smiled gently.
“it I had my wish." he replied,
"I'd be a young doctor Just starting
out again. Or, beater yet. a. fresh-
man at medical school.
"It is wonderful to comiemplate
the future of medicine. With bum-

tors nork hard and trike nothing
