THE LONGEVITY OF JEWS.

Dr. Benjamin Richardson, the leading sanitary authority of England, delivered a lecture recently before the Jews of London upon the "Vitality of the Jews, and the Mosaic Sanitary Code." After giving some interesting statistics as to the large proportion of Jews who reach old age, Dr. Richardson took up the causes of this longevity, chief among which was the observance of the laws of Moses. Its provisions, he said, form a marvelous collection of sanitary rules.—Hebrew Christian.
