DIR. CLINTON J. HYDE THE PRICE YOU PAY

"T know I ought to take treaIlnenL,l I have been running down for theI last year or two. l am all Jagged out,l have no am btion, worry from morn-| ing till night, don't care whether Il am dead or alive, have lost weight and1 cannot do the same work I used tol do some years ago. If I were ad strong as I was, l could earn sood| money. know I ought to treat with a good specialist, but I cannot afford to pay for the treatment"
 You are paying for it NOW, n1yl friend, and dearly; yet you do nod get it.
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your1 working capacity is the interest youI arc drawing.
 A good manager never spends moreI than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the| capital his interest would, of course | decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run downl more and moro; therefore, you can-| not work and earn what you used tol Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital-which is youd health-by allowing it to run downl and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smallerI
 You used to make good money now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollarsl was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make a living and find 1t almost beyond your strength, And you shudder at the thought o what will happen when the fina breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; ana what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, bu don't, is an actual expense to you You spend it. And what do you ge for it. Worry, anxiety, despondencyl want and deprivation for your family
 The dollar you take out of you pocket and spend for treatment witI an experienced specialist is not ar expense. It is an investment. And 1T f return you get increased working ability higher wages health and hap piness at home.
 Which will you choose?
 Can you hesitate?
