Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion-
Just a change of opinion was enough to give Mr. W. King his present prosperity, for he realised in the nick of time that his way was not curing his brain fag and nervous exhaustion, so he tried the Phoslerine way. Mr. King's method was to ignore his despondency and feeking of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigue the lightest effort to work cost him, until, as he steadily get worse, be resolved, to drop his own opinion and see what Phosferine 'could do. The result was so astonishingly beneficial, even after a few doses, that the brain fag and nervous exhaustion ceased entirely, enabling him ta do 7 work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarkable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's. public speaking, and so amazingly bave his prospects improved since his speedy recovery, what he declares be had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit be derived from Phosferine.
Quite Gone-Never Return.
Mr. W. J. King, School House, Trumpington Road, Forest Gate, E., writes am writing to add my name to the list of those people who have found Phosferine to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back I was very much run down through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, have a rest, and at the same time take medicine, se I endeavoured to keep going on without seeking advice, but as I was getting worse I found that policy would not do. Having beard many friends speak about Phosferine, and one in particular ofering me some I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/6 bottle, I began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better I was, even although I had only taken a few doses. I found I could do the same amount of work easter, and at present am abia to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. I have a good. deal of public speaking, and I find an occasional dose of Phosferine is a great benefit."-May 28, 1912.

The greatly augment. ed demand for officers caused by recent increased requirements will be met in part by promotions from the lower deck, and part by the absorption of officers of the R.N.R. from the meresatile aer- vice, but estimates which have been pré pared of the numbers of Heutennats likely to be wanted from 1318 to 1920 whow that, after allowing for thera supplemants, thera will still bo a deficiency.

This will be no bar to their advancement aekording to merit.
