ure. ' Of most of these It Is true
that If they believed better of them
selves they could do better. It Is
also true, as enthusiastic "encour
agers" point put to tie, that most
of the unnsual achievements In the
world went hand In hand with the
supreme , confidence which Is selt
hypnotlsmi which convinced some
men and women they could not fall.
However, kill-Joy though It brands
me, it must be pointed out that self
hypnotism , tan be a two-edged
sword. How about the man who
would have made a perfectly good
carpenter who hypnotized himself
Into confidence that he was cut out
for the law and lived the life of
the "also ran" and the failure?
How about the farm lad who found
self-expression and Joy In making
things grow out of the earth, but
who hypnotized himself, or allowed
a fond parent to hypnotize him, into
belief that he was called to "go to
the city -and make good"? How
about the woman who would have
made a good accompanist but who
hypnotized herself Into belief that
she must not be tost to the concert
stage? That story of heartbreak
and defeat Is a not uncommon one.
' The experiment of the soldiers
proves how belief in ourselves can
hypnotize us Into strength. , The
question is, can we follow through
when we wake up?

And doctors use
a liquid laxative
There's a very good reason why
doctors and hospitals have always
used liquid laxatives! You'd use a

better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount You can
gradually, reduce the dose. Reduced

relief from eonetipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular,
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kmdof help, and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
lett. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without
any help at all.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form
of help that can't be regulated! The
