In the six day bicycle races the paea tells terribly ak the end. Man after man falls out exhausted. The victor wabbles weariiy over the line. In the business race it's the same. Man after man drops out exhausted. The success flil man Is often a dyspeptic, unable to enjoy success. When the stomach is diseased there is not enough nutritiou assinilated to sustain the body and TO. pair the daily waste of tissues. The result Is weakness, tending to collapse.
