But it is not for fool-hardy exploits
like this that the average man needs u
sound mind in a sound body and plenty
of stamina backed by steady nerves.
The fight for the survival of the fittes;
in this end of the nineteenth century
tries men more than ever before in the
history of the world. That is because
it is now struggle of nerve and men,
tai power, where in the Old days it was
simply a question of physical endur-
ance. Even the ordinary laborer today
needs a higher grade of intelligence
than the leaders of a few centuries
back. He must exercise his brain as
well as his muscle.
Nowadays the man who suffers from,
ill-health. who gets up in the morning
with headache, and without an appe-
title. and is indisposed for work or bust
ness all day. and who returns to his
home tagged out and respondent 1T

a candidate for failure in any walk OF
life. from that of the laborer to the
business or professional man. More
over these symptoms are but advance
warnings of the coming of disastrous
physical or mental breakdown. They
are the result of insufficient or improp-
er nourishment of the body. Blood
flesh, bone, muscle, nerves and BRAIN
do not receive the right kind OF food
or the right amount of it. Serious dis
ease will be the result and it will strike
the man at his naturally weakest point.
If the weak point is the lungs it will BE-
consumption; if the nerves, it will be
neuralgia. sciatica or general or ner-
vous debility; if the kidneys, it will be
Bright's disease or bladder trouble; If
there is an over-worked brain it will be
nervous exhaustion or prostration and
possibly temporary insanity.
The exact form of the disease doesn't
cut any figure. The cause is the same
in each case. and the cure is the same.
1t doesn't do bit of good to treat for
the outward manifestations. The doc
tor who tries to treat nervous prostra-
ton, or consumption, or rheumatism, or
Brights Disease, or malaria as
separate, primary diseases is a nincom-
poop. He is just as foolish as his pa
tient. Like him. he is simply Juggling
nature-to play a confidence game on
death. The only way to cure is TO
properly treat the cause.

all these troubles and the conditions
that lead up to them. 1t is DR.. Pierce'+
