Wall Street Leaders Go Down One by One- What Causes their Fall. Bank Presidents say that 75 percent. of the men who go into business, fail. The percentage is much larger among finan- cial operators. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of the ‘Napoleons of Finance" of Wall Street end their careers in failure. John Tobin, once President of the Hudson | River Railroad, and worth $2,000,000, is now | to 126 pounds. a $5 bucket-shop operator. He gambled, lost money to John Morrissey, refused to pay, was re- ported to old Commodore Vanderbilt, and turned out of his Presidency. Henry Smith was a noted operator in Wall Street, for a time very successful, and accumu- lated a fortune of over $5,000,000. He fought Jay Gould in numerous speculations, and once said, ‘I'll make Jay Gould earn his living with a hand-organ and monkey.” When he failed for $5,000,000, Gould quietly remarked; ‘‘ He might now try the hand-organ himself.” Jobn Pondir was once famous as the homliest, but one of the most successful men of Wall Street. He was worth $1,000,000, but has at last joined the long procession of ‘‘ the busted.” ‘These men are said to lose their heads. They first lose, in the grinding processes of speculation, their physical stamina. Mental feebleness natur- ally follows. With physical weakness also comes lack of nerve. A clear head and nerve are essen- tial requisites to Wall Street success; with the primary organs out of gear, neither can be re- tained. Derangement of the kidneys is a common re- sult of mental overwork. When they fail to carry off the waste matter of the system, uric acid, that deadly poison, accumulates, and sneaks through all the blood channels. The whole system be- comes a sort of cess-pool, and every function is impaired. Unless. help is found, the ‘general break-up" soon follows. Mr. E, Evans, President of the Lumber Ex- change Bank, of Tonawanda, N. Y., broke down in 1883, and ran down in weight from 186 pounds He rallied somewhat, but after- ward became very low, with terrible pain in the kidneys. Physicians could not help him, but he finally procured Warner's safe cure, and he writes : “T was relieved of pain within twenty minutes after I had taken the first dose. I began to im- prove rapidly, and am still improving and gaining in strength and weight.” If the young ‘‘ Napoleons of Finance” would “‘call” for fewer cocktails, ‘‘fu¢"” an occasional dollar into Warner's safe cure, and keep their kidneys ‘‘a¢ par,” they would retain a longer grip on Wall Street.
