Ifard to Break, het It Can Ile Done, Says Amiable Jnr. Glinamerton. "For that don't feel like work feeling, with which," said nes, Glineraerton, "I fancy we are ,all of a more er less likely to be affiicted,. I 'would in some cases prescribe rest, though in most cases no doubt the proper prescription would be exertion. r"The trouble with the rest cure is that it is like taping opiates; the more you take the more you want. The rest habit is easy to acquire and hard to break. "The habit of exertion, on the contrary, is one that commonly we do no take -to so kindly; it does not, as it were, spontaneouslyper- meate us as the rest habit'does it may in fact requires assiduous cul- tivation, and it takes quite a man to acquire this habit in a complete- ly saturating and permanent forma so that he is proof against attacks of he rest habit, which, if he has a trace of it left :in him, is sure to develop on the slighest provocation. "Exertion is the only real cure, It may be hard to take at first, but you'll come to like it. Persist and you'll find it vastly strengthening and then delightful, and then, while in taking the rest cure you are all the time paying money out, in tak- ing this one you have moneyall the time coming in. "Try work: continuous; steady, hard work.
