A Working Housewife
Nervous Depression, Neuralgia,
Sleeplessness-
A cheerful, bright way of looking at things, a brisk activity which easily enables her to do almost as much as two ordinary persons, are some of the immediate benefits Mrs. Parker derived from Phosferine. Liko most hard-working mothers, Mrs. Parker never found time to look after. herself, and, as is always the case, suddenly broke down under the stram of endless household activities. Sudden noises caused her to tremble in feeble distress, gloomy fears assailed her, neuralgia and sleeplessness tortured ber nerves relentlessly, and it was from this depth of misery that Phosferine raised Mrs. Parker. That this immediate effect was achieved by two doses of Phosferine, aud Mrs. Parker's cure made permanent by a continuance of the tonic, demonstrates that with the aid of Phosterine any husband can save his wile from innumerable distresses.
Positively Cured and Prevented.
Mrs. A. Parker, 3, Linden Grove, Nunhead, writes:"I got into a fearfully low nervous state through working too hard and overlaying my strength. Any loud noise or a sharp knock at the door would throw me into a slate of trembling and helplessness. I was always imagining all kinds of evils, and worrying about trifles. Neuralgia racked me with pain day and night, and prevented me from obtaining any rest. I got so worn and dejected that I could have cried, out of sheer misery. My husband persuaded me at last to take some Phosferine, and the effect was simply marvellous; the pains not only ceased, but I have had no return since. It seemed more like magic than anything else that afew drops of Phosferine could produce such a change. I kept on with it, and I began to gain strength; the neuralgia disappeared for good, the nervousness, dejection, and worry left me, and now I feel quite well," Nov. 17, 1911.
