When man finds out that his constitu
ton is frail one, his wisest plan is-to study
bis infirmi.ies, to find out his weak points,
and like, q beleaguered general, the winner of
hundred victories, be always on his guard
as to those weak points. An old hat is nev

by care it may be made to look respectable
for years longer. A worp-out horse obtains

body, whether frail or strong, is made capable

I'd. If you arc not well, make no change
in any of Your habits without consulting an
educated physician.
