CONFIDENTIALLY ARE YOU A HAS-BEEN?
Your age may have nothing to do with it! That lack of drive, that run-down feeling which makes work a burden, and holds you , from. enjoying pleasurable activities. with your family, may Nature's warning signal that you lack ‘cer tain organic materials and vitamins vital to every one.
