A Lay Preacher
Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion-
Just a change of opinion was enough to give Mr. W. King his present prosperity, for he realised in the nick of time that his way was not curing his brain fag and nervous exhaustion, so he tried the Phoslerine way. Mr. King's method was to ignore his despondency and feeling of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigue the lightest effort to work cost him, until, as he steadily got worse, he resolved to drop his own opinion and see what Phosferine could do. The result was so astonishingly beneficial, even after a few doses, that the brain fag and nervous exhaustion ceased entirely, enabling him to do more work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarliable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's public speaking, and so amazingly have his prospects improved since his speedy recovery, that he declares he had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit he derived from Phosferine.
Quite Gone-Never Retura.
Mr. W. J.King, School House, Trumpington Rd., Forest Gate, London, E, writes am writing to add my name to the list of those people who have found Phosferine to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back. I was very much run down through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, bave a rest, and at the same time take medicine, so I endeavoured to keep going on without seeking advice, but as I was getting worse I found that policy would not do. Having heard many friends speak about Phosferine, and one in particular offering me same, I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/5 bottle, I began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better I was, even althongh I had only taken a few doses. I found I could do the same amount of work easier, and at present am able to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. I have a good deal of public speaking, and I find an occasional dose of Phosferice is a great benefit."-May 28, 1912.
