Untitled Essay on Living Your Own Mind and Life

Clarence Kelland's long excerpt from the Saturday Evening Post discusses how many people live in a "state of suspension" shaped by others.

Individual vitamins thiamin or riboflavin were less effective, while nicotinic acid helped many but not as much as the full complex.
