Did You Know This About Caesar and

Did you know that the two foremost fig
ures in the worlds history. Caesar and
Napoleon, were at one time the victims OF
insidious nerve weakness and disease?
Caesar was an epilcptic, and the great
Napoleon was the victim of nervous dis
order. The secret of their later wonderful
successes lay in the fact that they used
every effort to be cured of their Affections
DO YOU for y moment suppose that they
could have succeeded If they had allowed
themselves to remain Weddings, with cX-
hausted nerves, nervous debility and
strength and energy impaired by disease?
So 1t is with men at the present day
Many u young and middle aged m N

ance, excuses and folly has weakened his
nerve power and physical Vigur until he
feels himself lacking manhood's powers TO
cope with the world in this struggle for
success. Remain in your present condi-
ton OF weakness and failure in all your
undertakings is inevitable. Follow the
eX9mples of Caesar and NapoleDn-Set
well, get back your physical and nerve
strength. powers and energy, and the full
est measure of success in the world Will
be yours. Remember that the strong sur
vive and the weak are forced to the wall.
Success awaits only him who is strong.
What is the great lesson in this for
nerve-weakencd and physically exhaust, q
men? BY all means get back your health
and strength. Consult some great special
list who has made the weakness and dis
eases Of men a speciality, like Or. Greene
