BIR T. MARTIN'S ELIXIR OF LIFE.
When Sir Theodore Martin was a young man it was no uncommon thing for him to work for sixteen hours a day, and he has stated that work is the true "elixir of life." "The busiest man is the happiest man," is a favourite motto of his, and in a speech he made on his ninety-second birthday he said: Excellence in any art or profession is only attained by hard and persistent work. Never believe that you are perfect. When a man imagines, even after years of striving, that he has attained perfection, then his docline begins."
