The same immunities as regards disease and the same favorable conditions that are conducive to old age, both in an increased degree, are to be found on the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. It is noteworthy of remark that, wherever - as in the coun tries above mentioned - diseases of the respiratory organs are rare, there also will be found a minimum of renal diseases, and that, where these are wanting, longevity can be looked for in all its perfections.
