Don't
shirk
your
duty.
Don't
deviate
from
the
path
along
which
your
best
impulses
and
highest
ideals
would
lead
you.
Life
is
worth
while.
It
is
filled
with
glorious
opportunities.
Reach
out
and
grasp
them
as
they
come
up.
Hold
your
head
up
and
be
a
man
or
a
woman
to
the
fullest
extent
of
your
abilities.
CHAPTER
IV:
Stimulating
the
Source
of
Stamina
and
Vitality
This
is
an
age
of
short
cuts.
Any
devious
routes
to
the
accomplishment
of
an
object
should
be
avoided.
If
you
want
vitality,
and
the
vivacity,
energy
and
enthusiasm
with
which
it
is
associated,
you
naturally
search
for
a
method
which
will
bring
certain
and
quick
improvements.
The
reasonableness
and
general
prevalence
of
this
demand
was
in
my
mind
when
I
began
experimentation
with
a
view
to
discovering
a
method
for
stimulating
what
I
term
the
source
of
vital
power.
Scientific
men
while
delving
into
the
marvelous
secrets
of
physiology,
have
learned
that
the
thyroid
gland
in
some
peculiar
manner
possesses
an
extraordinary
influence
upon
vital
stamina
and
virility.
This
mysterious
gland
is
located
in
front
of
the
neck,
about
half
way
between
the
so-called
"Adam's
apple"
and
the
top
of
the
sternum
or
breast-bone,
where
it
adheres
to
each
side
of
the
front
of
the
trachea,
or
windpipe,
in
a
flattened
form,
something
like
the
wings
of
a
butterfly,
with
a
connecting
"isthmus."
It
is
a
"ductless"
gland,
its
secretions
apparently
being
taken
up
by
absorption
into
the
lymph,
and
from
that
into
the
blood.
