A horse in the lead pulls in vain when
the wheel horse lays back in the breeching.
A mans body is a good deal like a team Of
horses, aud must work tremendously. The

hard to work, but If the body is balky and
sick the head will make nc progress.

or satisfactory work, and in the endeavor to
do so will only do himself further harm.
The reason that men have nervous exhaus-
tion and prostration is that they try to work
the brain when the body is balky. The
right thing for a man TO do when he finds
he is out of sorts physically is to give tho
mind a little rest, and promptly resort to
the right remedy for his physical ailments.
