A Vigorous Elderly Lady
Age Weakness, Sleeplessness,
Sciatica-
It has been life to me for more than ten years," says Miss Mason in acknowledging how completely Phosferine gives her the vigour and strength to overcome the feebleness and infirmities of 70 years of age. Since talang Phosferine, all sleeplessness and sciatica has disappeared, and she undertakes duties which were previously beyond her strength, declaring she feels as energetic and capable, with her faculties as sound and alert, as in the prime of life. In firm, clear handwriting, Miss Mason records the restoration of her appetite and the renewal of healdy action in the bodily functions, thus proving how effectively Phosferine reinforced her vitality, and revived the serious activities of the hardening and ageing tissues. Such commanding evidence of the power of Phosferine to arouse and infuse vitality into systems tea old and too weak to help themselves, is convincing proof that younger people will benefit even more rapidly and extensively from the energising influence of Phosferine.
Most Successfully Overcome.
Miss A. L. Mason, Albert Villa, Park Road, Clevedon, Eng., writes:
am pleased to tell you Phosfazine has been a most valuable medicjue to me, for more than ten years. I was in a very low condition some time ago, and suffered greatly from insomnia and sciatica; the latter, I am glad to say, is now quite gone, and I sleep fairly well. Phosferine has quite restored my appetite, but I do not expect much greater strength at 70 years of age, I take as much exercise as I can possibly manage, the chief weakness being in my back and legs, but Phosferine always relieves ine. Phosferine has been life to me. Use this letter if you like to do so..
