goes to pieces all at once, bankruptcy
with it has come an utter loss of ambition,
dignity, and health. Ill health is at the
bottom of it all. bankruptcy stares in the
face every business man who neglects liu
health. A man cannot work on forever if
he is suffering froMi brain fag, nervous ex

his blood pure.

the digestion perfect, invigorates the liver,
restores the appetite, regulates the bowels,
purifies and builds up the blood, makes the
flesh and muscles firm, and tones up tlis
nerves. It is a business nuin's medicine.
