Lord Bacon Said,
"Digest''
This is the Secret of Life in Business
Or in Health

1t Is claimed that Lord Bacon struck
the prime keynote Of life when he
wrote: "Some books a. to be tasted,
others to be swallowed and some few
to be chewed and digested."
He wrote of books; many who have
followed him have written likewise OF
Ifs. The man who digests his bust
ness makes success; the actor or act
ress who digests his o her art brings
fame; the man who lives life and d.
gests 1t as he should lives as was the
intention he should live.
1t is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happiness to you; II
Is the food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew, Nature cannot give
you health, for you do not furnish the
ammunition.
