An attempt was made to present not only a clear and comprehensive record of the college year truly representative of Normal life, but also to give the above mentioned elements in such combina- tions and in such sized doses as to make it valuable in future years as a health promoter. Ill health and chronic pessimism are the most malignant foes to human happiness and prosperity. This volume is sub- mitted, well guaranteed, as a tonic for the masses. It is as good for the humble toiler as for the lazy man of luxury in Whose veins percolate the blue corpuscles 0f aristocracy; as good for the pauper as for the prince; as good for the grade teacher as for the superintendent; yea, as good for the happily married as for the blessed single. It is a true tonic because it- promotes joy and drives dull care away. Moreover, it serves as a household remedy. It heals dyspep- sia, it baffies cholera, it causes neuralgia to take up its bed and walk, and lumbago and backache to disappear. In that house- hold Where its presence gleams upon the library table, ague will not show his scrawny face. There is no complaint found in the dictionary of disease, mental or physical, Which it Will not cure. In the catalogue of quackeries it stands Without a rival. Tears Will not meet it face to face. Anger goes down before its lance. Grouchiness and the Blues, following the example of the Arabs, fold up their tents and silently sneak awav. Such is this publication! Nor have you alone this blatant- assertion. The discrepancy between claim and performance is discovered alone by trialeand the trial is yours for the trouble. Try it! Read it! If it fails to do the worketo purify the mind, to drown trouble, to satisfy your aesthetic tastes, to soften up the tears, to Vitalize the ribs, to pacify all family differencesein fact, to rectify, clarify, fortify, purify, pacify, vivify the entire fabric of your mental and corporeal existanceswhy, simply close the book and resort to the iinal appeal, prayer, for then Will your condition be hopeless. This remedy contains no calomel, podophyilia, or corrosive salts; it is a'bosiutely harmless, yet a panacea for every ill. Further- more, its after effects are not at all displeasing. It Will not leave you fretful, pale, weak, nervous, homesick for old Nor- mal, nor sad, but will stimulate pleasant memories of days spent With sohool-mates, friends, and professors in the class rooms and romantic halls. of the Indiana State Normal School. h '1
