Contentment the Only Specific.

A newspaper reporter the other day
ask ed G. G. Shrady, the great American
surgeon and physician, the question:
What manner of life do you think
most favorable to health?" His reply
was: "A moderate life. Take plenty
of sleep. Take plenty to eat. Take
plenty of exercise. We need more
walking philosophers in this world.

that the man who wants little is al

The Few American traders on the
