Human beings secem to divide them- selves into two classes: the sturdy in- dependént folks who work out their own life problems as independently as may be, and the spineless weaklings who waver through life seeking props. No human being is really fully self- sufficlent; no human being ought to rely to any great extent on any outside in- fluence to bolster him up so that his uncured weaknesses will mot spoil his life. In the final analysls everyone has to work out his own problems and “dress | (s aim weird." After all, friendship, love, sympathy, guidance and the best intentioned desires to help will aid no one who does not choose to belp himself. Do you remember the old fable of Aesop? It is called ““Her- cules and the Wagoner.” This is how it goes: “As a wagoner was driving his wain through a& miry lane, the wheel stuck fast in the clay, and the horses could get no further. The man dropped on his knees and began crying and praying to Hercules with all his might to come and help him. ‘Lazy fellow,’ said Hercules, get up and stir yourself. Whip your horses stoutlly, and put your shoulder to the wheel. If you want any help then, you shall have it How wonderfully this tells the whole story. Anyone worth helping will make also the effort to help himself. Anyone who cries weakly and ineptly for assis- tance would fail even when assisted, be- cause each time failure stared him in the face he would shriek aloud for help. The “clinging vine" is miserably un falr to himself and equally cruel to the “sturdy oak.” Every human being has his own problem to face and his own burdens to bear for everyone the per- sonal problems are hard enough To some strength enough is given so that they have it to spare for others even after they have managed their own lives. To them Inevitably an appeal will be made by the “weaker brethren And & generous nuture must always give lav- ishly of tha help anq understanding it has in its power to offer But If you are one of those who are in the habit of casting your burdens on others, stop for a moment and think Are any of your prbblems ever really solved when you do not solve them?

The best of it is that it's no temperary relief that Sanatogen gives—but a real, lasting improvement in bodily health— and especially in the health of the nerv- ous system. For combining the proper- ties both of a feed and a tenic, Sanatogen nourishes the nerve-cells, rebuilds the wasted energies and tones up the whole system as it helps gather a new store of strength. You can scarcely doubt that Sanatogen will help you when you remember that over 21,000 doctors have endorsed it in personal letters—and when you read what John Burreughs, the celebrated naturalist, writes: 1 have boen greatly benefted by Or what Colonel Wattersom, the fam- ous editor, writes: Sanatogen is sold by good druggists everywhere in three sizes, from $1.00 up.
