BUSINESS OF LIVING

IN his autobiography Benjamin Franklin tells how he kept books on
himself. He had a ledger, at the top of each page of which he
. wrote one Of the several virtues he regarded as fundamental for
right living. One page he devoted to frugalfty, another to temper
ance, a third to industry, a fourth to silence, and so on.
At the end of each day he examined himself and if he had failed
in any Of these virtues, he gave himself a black mark on the ledger.
In this way he kept himself informed as to the weak spots in his make
up, and devoted himself constantly to improving them Thus he
kept the record in the ledger balanced.
To Ben Franklin living was the most important of all businesses.
He was more concerned in showing gains and stopping losses in his
living business than in his printing business.
Franklin's bookkeeping system was practical application of the

the living business Most of us are too busy with other businesses to
look after this most important of all business. II generally runs by

UP BY THREE
DOCTORS. WAS TOLD
THERE WAS NO HOPE
Read This True Story.

Mr.. Joe Dannettell, age As years,
born and raised in Evansville, Indi-
ana, salesman for the Bon Bon Bak-
ing Powder, has been sick for over
two years with stomach trouble. He
has tried doctor after doctor, was
operated on, his gall bladder re-
moved, also his appendix. This did
not give him relief. Finally they all
told him they would have to give him
up and brought him home from the
hospital to die. He could retain
nothing on his stomach, not even
,roths. He yomited every time he ate,
ne looked like he was starving and
lest ninety pounds in weight. His
case looked hopeless, and he as well
as his wife was very much 'discour-
aged.
Being a friend of John H. Rohsen-
berger, the chemist who discovered
Lucky IS Tonic, who took pity on
poor Joe and his wife and said: IF
the doctors have given you up, Joe,
suppose you try Lucky Ii Tonic" He
got bottle and took 1t regularly for
three days, when all Of a sudden. bed
lam broke loose and his liver and
kidneys began to work and such
green bile that passed from him was
a sight. After weeks treatment OF
Lucky 10 Tonic he could get up out
of bed and walk about the house and
began playing the piano. His appetite
came back, he could eat anything and
retain it after taking the first dose
of this medicine, and Is hungry all
the time. Eating square meal and
retaining it was something he was
not able to do for months. All that
was the matter with Mr.. Dannettell
was that his liver was not perform
ing it's functions and had not for two
years. Lucky 10 started the bile and
his liver to action, gave him an ap-
petite and he soon gained strength
and is now we'll man. After three
weeks taking of Lucky Is Tonic, he
was able to resume his job as travel
ing salesman, which he had to give
m three months ago after suffering
agonies on the road for months. Joe
aad his wife are thankful that they
camo across Lucky 10 Tonic. They
believe in Lucky 13 Tonic and say 1t
was lucky day when they came
across this lucky medicine. If you
or any of your friends are suffering
likewise tell them about Lucky 13
Tonic. We believe Lucky 13 can
,Acure them or else do them a lot OF
good, relieve them of much suffering
and finally cure them. Any one sick
as Mr.. Dannettell would consider
themselves lucky to get we'll. Get
bottle at once. If your local dealer
does not have it, sent by parcel post
on receipt of $3.50.
