The Eddystone Lighthouse Keeper
Nervous Depression, Sleeplessness,
Neuralgia, Rheumatic Cramps-
Because he has benefitted so tremandously by taking Phosferine, Mr. Francia Warder, head keeper of the Eddystone Lighthouse, now realises that until he took the Greatest of all Tomics," the best time of life was slipping away In ill-health. Disorders came so gradually that he was resigned to consider natural to be getting a bit stiff, not sleeping soundly, or eating so beartily, and somehow not able to enjoy things.
The overpowering depression which Phosferine dispelled, had been alowly accumulating during the 33 years of Mr. Warder's vigilant custody of lighthouses, when the long, lonely spells of duty, the unvarying monotony, the nervous strain of his responsibility, dalled and tired his very senses.
The lost vigour is now regained, and Mr. Warder declares he is as active, hardy, and lively since taking Phosferine, as he was ten years,back,
Completely and Easily Cured.
Mr. Francis William Warder, principal keeper, Eddystone Lighthouse, writes: "I have read what John Haylett, the Caister lifeboat conswain, thinks of Phosferine, and I feel you would be glad to know what a lot of real good your famous tonic has done in my case. My occupation is monotonous and lonely, and, in rough weather, having to be always on the watch, I suffered a great deal om loss of sleep, and, even when tred out, could get no real rest owing to stiffness and rheumatic cramps. After try- ing to stave this off for some time and only getting worse, I got some Phosferine and felt relief from the first dose. I can tell you it is just a marvel how well and fine I feel now, all the rheumatism and peuralgia has gone, and I have a grand hearty appetite, steady nerves, and sleep well. Why to tell the truth, I feel as active, hardy, and lively since taking Phosferine as I was ten years or so back, and it's wonderful, it is indeed, bow Phosferine holds a man together."
