The nerves must be like iron to resist its many shocks. % , An eminent physician estimates that many of the failures of business men nre directly traceable to a debilitated physique. They overwork brain and Ixxly nnd when danger comes—meeting no firm opponent —it hurls them into the deep abyss of utter failure. This is a scientific fact. Don’t blame yonr luck or fate or fortune. Rcali/.c that the fault lies within yourself, and then BRACE UP and think the matter out Weak nerves spring from impure blood. Impure blood comes from a weak stomach. Weak ness in the stomach means catarrh of the lining of the stomach, just os weakness in the kidneys or liver or lungs means catarrh of the lining of these organs. Cure the catarrh, and health comes back. The medicine to do this Ls Pc-ru-na. Your brain will brighten, your weakness will disappear —the horizon of life will appear brilliantly hopeful —you'll find yourself made of the stuff which produces successful men. It is strictly a food for the entire body. It makes manly men and beautiful women. It builds up the weak places and fortifies the system against disease. SECRETARY ROOT AT CANTON.
