worry and too little care and thought for
health. II isn't an easy thing for a healthy
man to overwork himself. If a man will
stop for Just one minute every day and
think of his health, and, when he find that
he feels "A triiie out of sorts, Will resort to the
right remedy, he may work about as hard
as he wishes without doing himself injury.
On the contrary, if he neglects health and
works on in spite of ill-health, he will
awaken some day to find that the penalty is
consumption, nervous exhaustion or pros
tratiOn or some other dread disease. Even
then II is not too late if the right remedy is
used. The proper remedy, both TO prevent
and cure these diseases, Is known to thou
sands of men and women all over this con
