II know I ought to take treatment;
have been running down for the
last year or two. | am all tagged out,

ing till night. don't care whether
am dead or alive. have lost weight ana
cannot do the same work used to
do some years ago. If I were as
strong as I was, l could earn good
money. 1 know ] ought to treat with
a good specialist. but ] cannot afford
to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW, my
friend, and dearly; Yet you do not
get it,
Let me tell you why.
Your health is your capital; your
working capacity. is the interest you
are drawing.
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin TO draw on the
ca pital his interest would, Of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more: therefore, you can
not work and earn what you used to.
DO YOU see the point? You.aTe draw
ing on your capital-which is your
health-by allowing it to run down,
and so the interest tyour working
capacity is stea Oily growing smaller.
You used to make good money;
now you earn about half OF what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
was play to you; and YOU had all
your heart and soul III your work
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make a living and
find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought of
what will happen when the final
breakdown comes.
Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are gong to lose is beyond
estimation.
The dollar YOU MIGHT earn. but
don't, is an actual expense to you
You spend it. And what do you get
for it. Worry. anxiety, despondencT,
want and deprivation for your family
The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
expense. 1t is an investment. And in
return you get increased working
ability, higher wages. health and hap
piness at home,
Which will you choose?
Can you hesitate?

THE usefulness of q state hospital
to the various communities of the dis
trict which it serves is, to a consider
able extent, dependent upon it's prox-
unity and accessibility. When q dis
trict contains several countries, as is
usually the case, the largest number
of admissions in proportion to pop
ulation is usually from the county in
which the hospital is located and the
proportion diminishes with distance
and inaccessibility. 1t is thus posi-
Bile to obtain statistics which will
show that proximity to a hospital for
m entail disorders increases the pre-
valence Of insanity What is
really shown is that ease of
access, and possibly correct informal
ton, are conditions which are neces-
sarv to the highest usefulness of q
hospital. The proportion of cases in
