IL il popularity supposed that a few mon

90 rich that they cannot possibly spend

Now, If so many men succeed, Wnat ID

Two words answer-energy and heaitn.
Any man of indomitable energy and per-
reverence who is well can succeed.
All, there Is the rub-uho IS rsa!
Men have the energy and ability to sue.
coed. but they do not possess the requisite
health-that strength OF the nerves. vlgol
of the mind, and endurance and t~ireless'
ness. which alone make men succeed.
They feel languid, even weak at times
and lack NAP and ambition; they know
they Lave the necessary ability, but theil
energies need rousing. In some cases the
stomach, liver. and bowels are at fault, OF
possibly the kidneys are out of order
Nine times ont of ten, however. it is lack
of nerve strength, nerve vigor, and nerve
power.
