Just as much as the old. The old people some
times seem to think they have a monopoly
OF the rheumatism, and the neuralgias, and
the headaches, and the physical disorders OF
the world. But tell you there are no worse
heartaches than are felt by some OF these
young people.
Do you know that much of the work Is
done by the young? Raphael died at thirty

thus was Attorney General at twentv-four,
and have noticed amid all classes OF men
that some of the severest battles and the
toughest work comes before thirty. There

with the young.
And so with these people further on in life.
