HOW TO BE nEIT.r

Sir Frederick Treves, surgeon to

There is a great desire on the part
OF all young men to be At. A young
man cannot possibly be At II he takes
alcohol. BY no possibility a he

healthy should want alcohol is simply
preposterous. They might just as
well want strychnine. Thus the argu-
ment for the young man Is: You
want to be a man. and you want to
be At. You cannot get At on alcohol.

training and taking alcohol. He must
