that has puzzled philosophers for cen
turtles. One man attains riches and
position, while his neighbor who started
with seemingly the same. and better
opportunities, exists in poverty and OBJ
security. No man can win success who
is suffering from an irritating and nerve
racking disease and the man who has
the qualities of success within him,
would be quick to recognize this fact
and seize the best remedy to eradicate
the trouble.
