A Medical Officer
Debility, Nervous Exhaustion-
Certainly the absolute coufidence of eminent doctors is evidence enough of the exceptional benefits imparted by Phosferine. Even doctors cannot. do more to prove their confidence than by using Phosfirine to remedy their own disorders. Could any proof be more definite, more convincing than the testimony of John Dodd, D.S.M., Medical Officer in the late South African War, who says: "After being shot through both langs I was dangerously reduced, and I attribute it solely to Phosferine that I regained my usual health. I have proved the value of Phosferine in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion." This brilliant medical officer found Phoslerine particularly serviceable for insufficiency of nerve force, and declares nothing was so suitable in combating fevers, chills, &c.
Not possible now
John Dodd, D.S.M. (late of the Medical Staff, 5th Imperial Yeomanry, 1st Brigade, South Africa), Ladysmith House, Witton-le-Wear, writes: I have had considerable e perience in the use of your invaluable remedy Phosferine, and it has proved particularly serviceable where there exists insufficiency of nerve force. This condition, often due to primary weakness, lays the system open to influenza, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion, fevers, and in remedying this predisposition I have found nothing to suitable as your preparation. Phosferine invariably goes to the root of the mischief direct. The certainty of its action is inoreover un estimable feature. In debility and kindred ailments, caused by a reduced system; it has unprecedented power, and in my own case I can bear evidence to its exceptional value, and am indeed greatly indebted to its wonder- ful restorative properties. During the late war in South Africa, I was shot through both lungs and pericardium and that reduced me most dangerously; after taking Phoslerine for about two months it brought me back to my usual health. I attribute this solely to the use of Phosferine. I have advised Phosterine in several cases, and proved its valus in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."-March 11, 1910,

NEW BRO'S HERPICIDE
"I am blessed with an abundance of long hair, and I use the utmost care in the preservation of it. I have never found anything that pleases me as much as Newbro's Hatpicide. It keeps the scalp clean and sanitary and adds a luxurions appearance to my- hair that no other preparation will give. I consider it most delightful to use, and I can truly say that I prefer it above all other preparations for the hair. I like your soap alse, and, een recommend both highly to any lady who wishes a good head of hair."
(Signed) JENNIE A. ABBOTT,

CLEVELAND, Outo.
While it is not natural for everyone to have extremely long hair, it is possible for every lady to have beautiful hair, for when the scalp is not diseased, the hair, will grow naturally and abundantly.
܃
The chief discase of the scalp is dandruff-which is highly contagious-and dandruff is now known to be caused by an invisible vegetable growth called the dandruff germ. Ordinarily, the first signs of scalp infection are dryness, dullness and brittleness of the hair, although the disease sometimes causes excessive oiliness. Following this, the hair loses its lustre, the scalp itches-more-or-less and dandruff appears. Falling hair and baldness represent the last stages of bair destruction.
Newbro's Herpicide the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ--will cure any stage of this disease, except chronic baldness, which is incurable. Herpicide not only destroys the dandruff germ and stops falling hair, but it is a most exquisite hair dressing, making the bair light and fluffy and giving it a silken gloss. Almost marvellous results sometimes follow the continued use of Herpicide. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
