Celebrated Violiniste
Nervous Fatigue, Languor
The four to cxcel, the confideme which ensures her brilliant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous nerve force created by Phosferine. How greatly tnauerous distinctions and triumphant career of this accomplished musician are promoted by the brain energy and physical stamina developed by Phosferine, is evident from Miss Keymer's admission that the tonic "enabled me to do myself justice." This per to excel, this ability to make wfect me of her skill, depends upon the marvellous autrol and stadius of the muscle nerves Phosterine has given her, and to which she owes the entrancing tone and quality of her musical renditions. Naturally, this energising effect of Phosferine was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listlessness, and fatigue, which were the bane of her public appearances, and it is this happy outcome which impels Miss Keymer: to testify, to the exceptional advantages to be derived from Phosferire.
Promptly Remedied.
-Miss Sybil Keymer," Riversmere," Albany Rd., Leighton Buzzard, Eng., writes; "I think I should inform you that I have recently derived very great benefit from the use of Plosferinc. In the course of my profession I have to travel a good deal in getting to my various concerts, and I find that since using Phosferine I am never troubled with the headaches and listlessness which follow a long railway journey, particularly during hot weather. This is of very great importance to me, as frequently only a very little time elapses between reaching my destination and the com mencement of a concert, and it is such a relief to feel fresh and ready for playing in public undisturbed by the fatigues of long travelling. It is because I feel that Phosferine enables me to do myself justice as a violinist, preventing any of the unsteadiness of the muscle nerves, which is so burmful to tone and quality, that confidently commend the tonic at every opportunity --July 11, 1912,
