HOT BUSINESS RIVALRY.
Competition for Places of Advantage
and Profit.
Men Who Drive Headlong to Death While
in Pursuit of Riches.

At the present day eminent position in any
profession or business is the result of hnrd,
unwearied labor. Men can no longer fly at
one dash into prominence or fame. They
have got to hammer it out by steady and
rugged blows. Continued effort and un-
ceasng vigilance are the price OF success, and
those who are deficient il energy and perse-
verance are the ones who fall behind in the
race.
There is one lesson that every man should
learn In these driving times. The moment he
feels that his energy and vital force are d.
minishing he should promptly call halt and
lay up for repairs. The more promptly he does
this the greater will be his saving in time, ex-
pense and physical suffering. 10 neglect
this duty is to invite the most serious conse-
quences.
Thousands of young and middle-aged men,
through Ignorance, refuse to heed the protests
of their overworked nervous organizations.
They continue nj their desks or places OF
business day after day, or keep up their in
diligence in the excesses that may be at the
bottom OF their trouble. They are conscious
of feeling wearied, OF having lost their snap
and enthusiasm in their work OF finding ex-
treme difficulty in the performances of those
tasks that formerly cost them scarcely an ef-
fort. Unfortunately, they do not realize that
their condition, if neglected. must lead them
surely and inevitably into wasting diseases, If
or ''heart failure" which have become so
alarmingly common in these days.
Let no man deceive himself. If he Is suffer
ing from diminished nervous force he is in
dangerous condition and should loso no time
in seeking cure. His physician may be
able to do nothing for him, and may even
tell him he has nothing TO fear. This is false;
he has everything to fear He has insomnia,
dementia paralysis, paresis. locomotor ata1Ia,
epIlepsy consumption. and the whole list OF
spinal and brain diseases to fear. What Is
worse he cannot hope to escape them all. and
may be dragged down to his grave by COM
plcation OF many. Every advanced scientific
physician knows this.
But" says the business or professional
man. II cannot afford the time and expense
involved in taking long rest, as the doctors
advise"
1t is not long rest that you need. You
may continue AT your post and still have your
nervous system restored to a sound, healthy
condition. 1t will cost you very little time
and very little money.
Sufferers from nervous exhaustion, or from
long-standing and wasting diseases. should
lose no time in consulting DIR. r. A. Walker,
the leading specialist in the treatment OF all
disorders Of the brain and nervous system.

past twenty years to the study and treatment
of diseases of this character, and his remark
able success has gained for him the highest
reputation both in Europe and America. His

the trouble in all cases, and the result is in
variablya quick and permanent cure. DR..
