Queteleta exhibits the relativeviability of the two sexes deduced by him from numerous statis-tical inquiries. The dotted line represents the viability of the Fig. (C J 10 Jo 20 2o 30 frO 50 60 10 80 90 10(1 Curve indicating the viability or existibility of male and female at different ages. — Quartet. female: the other that of the male. According to this, the maxi-mum of viability is least at the age of 14 in both sexes. Afterpuberty, it diminishes more rapidly in the female than in the is also less during the period of childbearing, from the 27th tothe 45th year. The age of shortest viability is immediately afterbirth ; that of longest viability immediately before puberty. Theviability of the child after the first month of existence, accordingto M. Quetelet, is greater than that of the man nearly 100 yearsold. Towards the 75th year, it is scarcely greater than for theinfant about the sixth month after birth. For some time before dissolution,— both in death from old ageand from disease,— the indications of the fatal event become moreand more apparent. The speech grows embarrassed; the ideasare incoherent;
