, You can't look a man in the eye
when you are out-ofsorts and half

you are guilty of a breach of Natures
laws. You are fearful because you
are mentally fuzzy.
Because of some excess, Nature fell
behind in her work of purifying the

OF quotations established in London
for American shares was at a sub
