Wealth, Dyspepsia, and Contentment

Mr. John D. Rockefeller has an income of $20,000,000 a year, it is said, but he must live on a diet that many a poor laboring man would think was starvation. He can eat no cream, no butter, no meat, no pastry of any kind, no fresh bread, no white bread. He has the dyspepsia. Some one remarks that he would probably give of his $200,000,000 fortune, what he is reputed to be worth, not less than $199,000,000 for a new stomach. How much more blessed is a daily wage, sufficient for daily needs, with a clear conscience and good digestion!
