BAD management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful, one must look ahead and plan ahead, so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shift less fellow will wait until necessity compels it, and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor, and have a big doctor bill to pay besides. One pays out 25 cents, the other is out a hundred dollars, and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he is getting poorer. For sale by druggists.
