A Clergyman
Nervous Collapse, Brain Fag,
Neuralgia-
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD, 1911.
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 Phosferice alone, he says, which raised him from the nervous collage, remedied the brain-fag and neuralgia which held down his elforts and arrested his 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 his 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 half-hearted efforts are due to lack of nerve force, and he believes they will quicker appreciate the efficacy of Phosferine by learning of his own recovery.
Have No Existence Now.
Rev. A. H. Field, 335, 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 Blight, 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 Phosferine every success. When preaching away, I have noticed Phosferine finds a place in the village homes."

"The year 1830 was at unprecedented one in the annals of foreign life nt Canton, by reason of the coming to the Factories of Bevoral English and American ladies from Macso, indirect opposition to old regulations The Mandarins were thoroughly at their wits end by so extraordinary an cecurrence. 'Chops' began to circulate freely. The ladies were or dered to leave forthwith, and without one wo ment's delay, otherwise the Son of Haaren, so considerate for all beyond tho see, would withdraw his compassion, and, and-in fact had the world been coming to an end, the auth- orities could not have been more thoroughly alarmed. In a letter written at the time, I find. the following, dated April 2, 1830-
"Went in the morning to the "Company's chapel with several Americste to hear the Rov Mr. Vachell preach, and to see the 'foreig daril females, us the Chinamon called them. They were Mrs. Baynes, wife of the Chief of the Factory, Mrs. Robinson, and Mrs. Fosron, but she is the beauty of the party! Mrs. Hwas dressed in true London style, which, much ad mired by us, is considered frightful' by the Chinese. It was quito a strange thing to seÓ foreign ladies in the Celestial Empire' an ocenrrence which had never before taken place! After a few days they left, but not until the mandarins threatened to alop all trade!
"On November 12 of the same year I find the following:-

The second day after they arrived several old eodgers were seen in immense coats, which had been stowed away in camphor trunks for ten or fifteen years, and with huge erarats on, and with what ones were gloves, on their way to make visits!

In less than ten minutes we were completely surrounded, and had to beat a hasly retreat. We were not at all molested; it was simply surprise and ouriosity; and on arriving at the gate of the Hong, every one quietly dispersed.
"24th. The Chinese are not so far out in calling us barbarians. Two or three from No. 2 Suy-Hong called on the ladies, Coats, gloves, and oravate-gach cravats!
