Natures Best Tonic.

An old proverb says: Laugh and
grow fat" Another says; 1T is better
to laugh than be crying" The follow
ing from Success gives expression TO
the same Idea in better form:
Laughter is undoubtedly one of Ma
lures greatest tonics. 1t brings the
dlsordered faculties and functions in
to harmony, it lubricates the mental
bearings, and prevents the friction
which monotonous, eXacting business
engenders. 1t is divine gift bestowed
upon us as a life preserver, a health
promoter, a joy generator, a success
maker. Life with the average man is
too serious at best. Never lose an
opportunity for relaxation from the
stress and strain of your business or
profession. Every draught of laugh
ter. like an air-cushion, eases you over
the iolts and the hard places on llfe's
highway. Laughter is always healthy.
1t tends to bring every abnormal con-
dition back to the normal, 1t is a
panacea for heartaches, for llfe's bruis-
es. 1t is n life prolonger. People who
laugh heartily keep themselves in ply
steal and mental harmony, and are
likely to live longer than those who
take life too seriously.
