Nervous Collapse, Brain Fag,
Neuralgia-
For getting things done, making things go, the invigorating stimulus of Phosferine cannot be equalled, says the Rev. A. H. Field. Fully aware that as a clergyman he is bound to make sure of the accuracy of his estimation of Phosferine, this gentleman states that, distinct from other cases, he has verified and tested the efficacy of the tonic himself. It was Phosferine, and 'hasferine aione, he says, which raised him from the nervous collapse, remedied the brain-fag and neuralgia which heid down bis elforts and, arrested iris plans over a lengthy period. Since taking Phosferine he is entirely free from nervous distresses, and can put his whole heart and energies into his work, and indeed, such is bis activity that he has roused many helpers to his cause. Experience has taught the Rev. A. II Field that numbers of people do not realise their languor and hall-hearted efforts are due to lack of nerve force, and be believes they will quicker appreciate the efficacy of Phosferine by learning of his own recovery.
Have No Existence Now.
Rev. A. H. Fiek, 336, Brettenham Road, Walthamstow, writes: It gives me much pleasure to testify to the beneficial effects of Phosferine in many cases of nervous disorder, where I have advised the use of your tonic. Some four years ago I myself had a nervous breakdown, and a friend advised Phosferine. I took his advice, and. speedily found that I had acted wisely, for the neuralgic pains and the mental weariness soon took flight, and I was thoroughly braced up. Recently some members of my church, at my suggestion, tried the remedy, and were quite satisfied with the beneficial results. I have advised its use now for nearly four years, and in no case has it yet proved a failure. When one thinks of the great number of so-called nerve remedies, it is satisfactory to find at least one upon which reliance. can be placed. I wish your Pliosferine every success. When preaching away, I have noticed Phosferaie finds a place in the village homes,"

A Woman of the Revolution: Théroigno de Maricourt. By FRANK HAMEL With Photagravure Frontispiece sud Eighteen Illustrations. London: Stanley Paul & Co. In the portrait gallery of personages who distinguished themselves in the French Revolution, rendering themselves famous or in- famous according as they noted in that frenzy of antional uprising, there is one whose presence in XV, bis in not strictly speaking, u historioal- likely to be overlooked by the ordinary reader speedily transferred to England, in the neigh It opens in France, but the scene is who has not steeped himself in the prolific bourhood of Winchester. The characters are literature of that epoch-making period. This drawn in bold outline, and the action is strongly melodramatic. It is a novel of incident more personage is none other than she who was called than subtle delineation of character, and its Théroigne de Méricourt.

Some deplet her as "a bloodthirsty individual marching, through the dramatic scenes of the Revolution with the intention of slaying and destroying; but after perusing Mr. Hamel's graphic pages, we are forced to the conclusion that Thérnígne had no very clear idea of her own objective any more than Eundreds of the men and women who were making history, and spring into promicence only in consequence of certain dramatic qualities and actions prompted by an ill-balanced mind which proved unequal to the strain to which it was objccled Dydo-de-Neuville-au-Angle French royal ist, whose grandfather had fled to

He remarked on the facility with which cho ôx- pressed herself, and described her earringe ast upright, her figure as fius, and her personalite as stamped with shaznelessness and effrontery. "Conflicting accounts," says her biographer, tend to the belief that Théroigue, who was usu- aily shy, retiring und modest, lost all appearance: of bashfulness when roused by the excitement of her cause and made a bold impression upon her hearers." She was easontially a firobrand, aproðust of the period, ops Tho believed that women had. an important part to play in the work of demo- cratic assertion wd national reconstruction. She was one of the infuriated horde of women who marched from Paris to Versailles en October, 5, and, if contemporary historians are to be relied on, she led the women who by bribes and wanton blandishments sought to corrupt the guards holding the rabble in chock outside the palace precincts.

She was then thirteen, and had to pass through moro tribulation. Domestic ser- tike, cow-herding and work as a searastress were all tried for a livelihood, and then she was taken to Antwerp by a wanda who abandoned her there. At the age of sixteen, when who was Lengaged by an English lady as a companion for her children, she is described as having more charm than actual beauty, well grown but not tall, with bright eyes and chestnut-coloured hair, rosy checks, and a wonderful vivacity that seemed inex- lixustible. She travelled with her employer to Ghent, Malinis and Brussels, and afterwards to London, where she eloped, with a rich young English gentleman who visited the house. He lived such a dissolute life that she soon ran away from him. He settled a large sun of racey upon hor, apd she went to Italy to study music, with some idea of going upo the stage.
