A Lady Housekeeper!
Nervous Exhaustion, Neuralgia,
Sleeplessness
The fact that Mrs. Taylor did not give up her work, and did not go for a change, is clear proof Phosferine prevented the nervous breakdown which her doctor said was certain unless she gave up her duties. Mrs. Taylor is not the sort who gives up easily, although she was worn to a standstill with neurasthenia and sleeplessness, and realising that neither change nor -vest-was possible, she concluded the only certain way to keep going was tờ supplement her vitality with Phosferine. The actual benefit Mrs. Taylor experienced within a few hours exceeded even the relief she knew would result from Phosferine, every nerve centre in her system began to resume its activity, thus promoting her recovery with daily increasing rapidity. Now that all traces of nervous disorders are expelled, and she sleeps sounder and eats better than ever, Mrs. Taylor urges other exhausted workers not to give af, but employ Phosferine to generate a new supply of nerve force and feel for themselves how capable, vivacious, and happy- natured this new energy makes everyone,
Completely done with.
Mrs. K. E. Taylor, 369, Goldhawk Road, Chiswick, writes:"The beriefit I have received from Phosferine is almost incredible. I had been suffering for months from Neurasthenia, everything was a burden to me, head pains and body pains were constant, I could not eat, neither could I sleep. I felt utterly ill and wearied out, and after struggling on for some time, I was told by my doctor there was nothing for it but to give up my situation or to go away for a change. For many reasons, either I remembered Phosferine had done ne would have been my last wish.
