The man or woman who wears a diamond also
wears an air of prosperity that is far reaching in
its influence.
These are Commercial times, and to BE sue-
cessful you must L O O K it. People are always
judged at first by their appearance.
As an investment, the diamond is in a class by
itself, because, outside of its intrinsic value, it has
the added value as an adornment.
W h e n you are ready to buy a diamond, at what-
ever price, there are plenty of reasons why you
should come and see the fine line of Diamonds in

health means cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It means
a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clean liver, aed
new, clean, healthy tissues. The man who is clean in this way
will look it and act it. He will work with energy and think
clean, clear, healthy thoughts.
li e will never be troubled with liver, lung, stomach or blood
disorders. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean atom*

Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs.
