hunger. These always come to the
soul away from God. Being in want
does not mean that 4 mans will has

ALWAYS WELL TO GO SLOW
Medicine That Has Helped Someone
Else May Not Be the Thing for
Your individual Case.

Be careful about following the ad-
vice of your friend when he recon-
mends. a certain medicine OF some
particular form of exercise because
it did him good" advises the phys
ical director of New York Y. NJ.
c. A. "Some men remain in good
health in spite of the medicine they
take, others try the same cure and
don't get off so easy. If you wish
to try something that cured your
friend, at least take it in small doses
until you find out how it is going to
work in your case. The strong man
has a way which he recommends to
some one who is not in the same
class with him, and the weaker man
tries it and breaks down.
"Twelve different men each rec
commended their favorite medicine
to another who was suffering from a
cold. The sufferer tried one after
the other just because his friends
had advised him that way, and be-
cause he didn't want to hurt any
ones feelings. He got over his cold,
but it was long time before his
stomach got over the experience. The
attack of stomach trouble which fol-
lowed the dosing was worse than the
cold hsd been.
"What cures your friend may send
you to~the hospital. What another
can dc has nothing to do with you.
Try first in small doses any health
scheme YOU intend to adopt, and
gradually work up. Keep within
the hne of safety. The extremist is
the one who goes to the wall; the
middle of the road is best"
