e. Young In Body, Mind and
Looks Despite Your Years

How often you have
wished that you could
indulge in the strenu-
Gus exercise of out
door sports with the
vigor and enthusiasm
of youth! But the
end of the week finds
you all in you are
tired, listless and lack
the energy togo out for
a vigorous walk or a
round of the links-or
any other exercise that re-
quires much physical exer-
ton. Many a man, even in
his middle forties, has a
vague feeling that he is
getting old"-and right
at a time when he should be
at his very best physically.
Andheisgrowingo old, not
in the sense that the years
are pressing heavily upon
him-but in the sense that
his vital forces are wasting
away faster than Nature re-
places the worn out tissues.
