Still, that is no excuse for giving up the struggle.

Certain moods have their origin in some bodily fault. Ihe irascibility of gout, the irritability of liverishness, the peevishness of indigestion, the melancholy of pancreatic disorder, the depression of toxaemia, and the excessive nervousness and excitability of thyroid oversecretion aro familiar examples. Bv controlling your moods you will control your destiny.
