Cor, perhaps. IS years without harm,
but when this man reaches that period
Of life when the vital powers are ON the
decline, he suddenly finds himself old
before his time, for he has ell these years
been laying the foundation for chronic
endoarterttis. I believe that 80 per
cent Of all diseases arise from the use OF
