How Acquired and Retained.
TOM BURROWS, the World's Champion Club Swinger, writes:-"1 am constantly being asked how it is! mange to go on swinging my clubs for 50. and 60 hours without rest, and yet apparemity without showing any signs of nervous exhaustion. I have found it very difficult to get properly to sleep after completing a long swing, owing to a turchanical muscular action which seis may arms swinging again as soon as I have 'dropped off. Of late I have not been froubled so frequently in this manner, not even after any two and a half days (4 hours) swing at Olympia on January 23-25, for the World's Championship. I chiefly ascribe this recent improvement to the wonderful beneficial cilet which Posterine has always exerted, binli before and alter ony one of my fears. I must conless there were times when should certainly have broken down but for a few Linely doses of Phosferine. The tonic winds me jup, in a maminer of speaking, and undoubtedly increases my powers of endance magnificently, and also enables me to withstaml the effects of fatigue surprisingly well. At Huens Ayres, in Juve ago, I swung 415, clubs for su Continuous hours, and insediately continued without a stop in an extra fo hours, display and fancy club swinging contest against Macrae. I won that mateb, but it was a close call, and Lui convinced that without a dose or wo of Phosferine I could never have got through,, I leave for South Africa to morrow, and leave some big matches there and I am taking Phosferine with ma" - July 9, 1907,
