Weiwerton Capt. Kucheners 78
Nervous Breakdown, Paralysis-
The unster force which conquered the most perilous affictions and enabled him to endure amazing hardships, says Captain Henderson, is derited entirely from Phosferini. Exposed by his adventurous life to an extraordinary series of misfortunes, from being disabled in action, to sunstroke, enteric fever, and paralysis of the legs, this gallant officer was yet able, entirely owing to the aid of Phosferine, to leave the hospital and fight through to the end of the Boer War! Under blows which make men reel and fall, Captain Henderson was so upheld by the vitalising and bracing qualities of Phosferine, that actually on his return home he was robust and vigorous enough to win four military prizes in one day, including the famous Victoria Cross Cup!
Cured with Signal Success.
Captain D. E. Henderson, 1, Marino Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin, writes:- "During the late Boer War, I had a severe shock from lightning, and za injury to the spine through my horse being killed in action and rolling on top of me. In India, some years previously, I had an attack of sun- stroke, and was five months in hospital with. Enteric Fever. These troubles told upon me, and ultimately resulted in a complete nervous. breakdown when in, Pretoria. I was admitted to hospital when I had lost the use of my legs. I was treated for neuritis and sent out only partly cured, and then started taking Phosferins systematically and regularly. The benefit I received was marvellous: in two months time I was back in the field and fought right through until the end of the war. Owing to a great financial loss, which preyed on my mind, I had a second break. down, and the doctor told me that I would probably be paralysed for life. I thought again of Phosferine, and after using it about three weeks my strength gradually returned and the frightful depression and weakness loft -me. The proof of which is that, in the military sports, I won four prizes in
one day, including tho Victoria Cross cup."-July 14, 1911.
