Doctor Amy Tutuer Hits the nail on the head when it comes to
folk/altie idea that the good old days were so great.

Even giving alt/folk medicine a false myth on wishful thinking, next
time you walk down the street and see anyone over age 50 (the average
age in 1900 was 35) and if the alties had their way that 50 year old
wouldn't be.

I understand if medicine existed the way Jan and other want it to be
Jan would have been dead long ago.

Here is to science based medicine. If you are over 35, thank a doctor
of medicine and science.

I know there are statistics showing that people died young, But if you
research for yourself at the age people actually died

in the 1800 early 1900's it doesnt add up, the people are MUCH
older!!! I think statistics are WRONG!

Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald (1834 - 1925) He was 91 years old when
he died back in the early 1900's!

Sir Henry Irving (6 February 1838 – 13 October 1905),  He was 67 years
old when he did

Sir Charles Wyndham (23 March 1837 – January 12, 1919)  82 years old
when he died

Dame Ellen Terry, GBE (27 February 1847[1] – 21 July 1928)  81 years
old when she died

Robert Wilks (c. 1665 – September 27, 1732)  <---Notice the date.. he
died at age 67

Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745)  78 years old when
he died

I find it very odd that the avearge death rate was 35 in the 1900's It
doesnt add up-

You obviously never took a course in statistics.
