Suocess comes from effort; effort Jfthe nso of-a . physical foroe physical forco la electricity, .v This is tha belief of Dr. Samuel B.

It is v highly snd artistically Illustrated. Anyone can get It . from him free for the asking. ' -i! Hero are a few of tr. Hall's opinions: i; - Success i possible in this world tn any man who has - the energy to strive for what no wants.

Tou have heard of the railroad manager who started ".'in as office boy; of tho traffic manager who earned hla , first month's pay as brakeman.

There is no doubt that a man's health haa a great 'deal to do with his suocess. There are few occupations .. nowadays where a man can expect to beoome anything but a pjodder unleaa he puta bla shoulder-to the wheel "7 and puaheo himself ahead, and when a man Is disturbed ;', every hour of tho day by mental torture over his physl- cat incapacity ha has not tha spirit or ambition to strike '., out and do things for himself. .. "Get ap and hustle,' advises the. man who won sue ,,ceas by hustling by the force of his energy. The sd - . vice Is good, but the plodder held down by want of that r' physical and mental forco which make him a hustler, . haa no inclination; he has to 7 drive himself to get ' through his day's work. .. - .

" , I hsve in mind now a man who struggled through . eighteen years he Is 43 years now as a Journeyman r1' mechanic In one of our big manufacturing concerns. He ' was a good tneohantc, no better nor worse than dosens . of others around him; but he seemed some way to be '-' differently conatltuted Trora the rest He had a nice way about him that seemed to suggest undeveloped ' power to do things, yet he did not accomplish any more than his fellows. One day he came to see me and told '' me his atoryi ,( f t Sine early manhood lie had auffered from a nervous - iffllftlnn. tnTQlringMs-atomach. which , would not "digest his food properly.

He thought that he waa . made for better thlnga, and kept hoping for something l'; to turn up. aa If things do "turn up" -with a man who ' '' works at a bench like a machine and never dlaplays any ' ability outslde-of his routine work. - . Any way I - prorol"d hint re.Hef from hla nervous trouble and its consequences, and he began treating With Electro-Vigor. He felt relief In a few weelcn. and . waa quite well three months after he begsn. With the return of' health came a transform tlon In the man. Hla friends remarked at his Increaaed energy, vivacity and sociability, and Ma bench partners noticed that he " took more Intereat In the little dfttalla nf thnlr work.

It Is pretty evident that -this life Is a race between the strong, and the weak. It ia a race where the prise goes to the man with strength, courage and ambition to hnatle. and any man whodoes not-- feel the call to forco his way Into the which enaBlea the patient to turn on any quantity of the current desired, and the absence of trouble such ss the vinegar or acid, so disgusting In electrio belts.

I once knew a man who suffered from a stomach - trouble, commonly known as dys pepsia. He could not -make up his mind to a thing and stick to it 24 hours. One day he formed a definite conclusion that his busi ness affsirs were Jiwa perfectly healthy con dition. At the same hour the next day he would come to Juat as positive a decision fhat he was . ruined.

But after making a good start and work ing bard for a short time his enthusiasm cools, his Interest lags, his strength wanes and he catches him self, saying: "O! Whst's the use.

Ha waa typical of his class bard-worhlng, patient and enduring, and seemed . to have no Interest beyond doing his work honestly and taking his pay. I will not attempt to say what process -,. of evolution took place in tho mind of that man in tha few months he waa under my treatment but I will say , that when I saw hlra again he was "slicked up" end ' acted as If he might own the road. He had fully re- ' covered his health and with It some energy which ha ' had lost and when he called on mrf.he waa timekeeper, 7 on tho Job, with a growing chance for something better. It's a mistake for any man to suppose that he was made for a laborer, to imagine that there Is no chance ' for him at something better. "There's plenty of room at the top." and any man can do better if be has tho ' energy to try. : .t -V .. - . Tho reason that there are laborers Is that thera are always enough men who allow themselves to bo held ' down; men with no ambition to hustle out of the rut; men willing to sell a day's work for a couple of dollar when they know tKat the day's work Is worth probably -four dollars to the man who buys it ,'., . , 1 fhs rood thlnaw-'aro not mil ta more tnan vnay wars waen men now noa were poor worxing soys, any man wiva energy ana a never-say-die spirit can work out of the rat and make a name aad fortuae for himself, aad bis position la Ufa aa years front now will be ta exaef ratio with V energy ho haa displayed.
