Alaskan Eskimo Is a Fast-Vanishing Race, Doctor Says The average life span of Alaska Eskimos is only 24 years, due chiefly to the prevalence of tuberculos says Dr. Victor E. Levine of the Creighton university school of medicine in Omaha, Neb. He has completed his third trip to the Arctic to make medical studies of the Eskimos. Unless more physicians are provided in the Arctic to guard the health of Eskimos the race will become extinct in little more than a generation, Doctor Levine predicts.
