A CELEBRATED BEAUTY
Head Pains, Gout, Lassitude-
Readers see for themselves that those in a position to pick and choose whether they are Royal Personages, popular celebrities, experienced doctors, nurses athletes, &-withcat exception unhesitatingly select Phosterine as the one certain remedy for all nervous disorders. All these distinguished people positively attribute their increased energy, efficiency, or prowess, to the revitalising potency of Phosferine, and their opinion is again confirmed by the celebrated beauty, Mrs. Una de Louth, who finds the wonderful tonic imparts such a delightful feeling of youthful vigour, that she can retain her good looks without the least trouble. Mrs. Una de Lonth is deeply grateful for the inestimable service Phosferine rendered her in completely curing gouty head pains, and so effectually dispelling the nervous depression and lassitude which endangered her exceptional beauty, that she has kindly permitted us to publish her happy experience of Phosferine for the benefit of other readers.
Quitè driven away.
Mrs. Una de Louth (the beautiful and talented Society reciter, and daughter of a late well known Member of Parliament), writes: I have great pleasure in stating that your Phosferine has done more for me than all the doctors, for long standing and severe gouty pains in my head. Indeed, I have bad instantaneous relief after taking only a few drops of your wonderful world-famed remedy and I would never be without it in the house again on any consideration-I treasure it among my household gods.
I always find Phosferine helps me and invigorates my system to a wonderful extent, and before acting or reciting have never known it to fail. It is in my opinion a tonic that has marvellous and lasting effect, and all who have irled-it-agree with me that I do not over-rate it in the least.”—8, Lansdowne Square, Hove, Sussex.--November, 2, 1908.

A fact that has often struck me is how little the Japanese think of the men who, quite recently, have written the history of the world with the point of their cannon. A month ago when we visited the Shinto temple raised to the memory of the hero Kusunoki in Kobe many of my friends said that when Admiral Togo dies such a temple is to be raised to him. But if, on the other hand. one expressie" one's profound admiration of kuch men, hardly any one agreos, and for the reason that they consider that these men have only done their duty, that the fulfilment of duty is the most natural thing in the world and not worth wasting words over.

sympathy and understanding I valued most highly. Often I said to myself. This is the best of all; this is the culminating point," and the very next day something else took place which far surpassed all that had gone before. Naturally the first fête given by the Geo- graphical Fociety was exceptionally splendid and distinguished, and the speech made on that occasion by Baron Kikuchi, vice-president, pro- fessor of mathematice, Rector of the University of Kioto, and the foremost savent of Japan, was one of the most beautiful I have ever heard--he was in England for øven years, and speaks the language neatly. At the larger Banquets the health of the King of Sweden was one of the Japanese sitting on the

They were the limbs that moved, but Yamagata was the brain that controlled them and thought out the plans. And the Japanese say about Yamagata that even if he had directed the war from home he would nevertheless have been considered one of the greatest men of Japan, on account of his epoch-making additions to the reforms of to-day.

He was interested to hear that I had the intention of visiting Port Arthur, a place which had played so great a part in his life.

General Oku spoke, and his glance swept slowly down the table. He did not speak fast, the significant pauses were long and many. But he roared like a lion-one might have thought that he was commanding a division on the field, of bottle instead of talking to a dimer party of 20 gentleman.
