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 immedinte benefits Mrs. Parker derived from Phosferine. Like most hard-working mothers, Mrs. Parker never found time to look after herself, and, as is always the case, suddenly broke down under the strain of endless household activities. Sudden noises caused her to trembic in feeble distress, gloomy fears assailed her, neuralgia and sleeplessness tortured her nerves relentlessly, and it was hom this depth of misery that Phoslerine raised Mrs. Parker. That this immediate effect was achieved by two doses of Phosferine, and Mrs. Parker's cure made permanint by a continuance of the tonic, demonstrates hat with the aid of Phoslerine any husband can save his wife from innumerable distresses.
Positively Cured and Prevented.
Mrs. A. Parker, 3, Linden Grove, Nunḥend, writes - goi into a fearfully low nervous state through working too hard and övertaxing my strength. Any loud noise or a sharp knock at the door would throw me into a state 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. 1 got so worn and dejected that I could have cried, out of sheer misery. My husband persuaded me at last to take some Phosfering, 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 a fewdrops 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.
