HOW DID
 IT HAPPEN? ?

If you ever travel through Italy and visit Rome, you certainly won't fall to visit St. Peters Cathedral There stands to your right hand the giant bronze statue of the Apostle, and 1t is a common sight to see people ap- proach it and kiss the advanced right foot. Don't fail to examine this foot. You will find that the outline of the toes has completely vanished; the foot is at least one-fourth inch shorter than the left one. Through centuries and centuries millions of pious lips have kissed the toes and gradually worn away the solid bronze.
 Thus, slowly, imperceptibly, nervous weakness creeps upon you. You don't notice it's advance from day to day, hardly from week to week. But look back six months, look back a year, two years-you were a robust, healthy vigorous man, doing your days work ~cheerfully, did not mind tackling the hardest job, working overtime was play to you, made good money and were contented and happy.
 How Things Have Changed. Hw Where is your bright eye-your elastic step? Where are the red cheeks, the cheerful voice? Gone! And 8 you don't know how. Slipped away from you Worn off like that bronze AM on the statue in Rome.
 '~$What Are You Going to Do About It?
 Wait for the end? Or fight to get back what you have lost?
 Why not consult me? I will helr you fight-and win!
