A Celebrated Violiniste
Nervous Fatigue, Languor
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Grm, 1913.
The power lo card, the confidence which neures her brilliant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous art for created by Phoslerine. How greatly the numerous distinctions and truruphant career of this accomplished -parician are promoted by the brain energFand physical stamina developed by Phosferie, is evident from Miss Keymir's admission that the tonic Memabied me to do repulf justice." This par to excel, this ability to make keriet asc of ner skill, depends upon the marvellous control and steadiness of the muscle weress hasitrine s given her, and to which she owes the intrancing one and gradity of her musical renditions.', Naturally, this eneighing effect of Phosferine was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listlessness, and fatigue, which were the bare of her public appearances, and it is this happy outcomewhichiopels Miss Keymer to testify to the exceptional" advantages to be derived from Phosferine.
Promptly Remedied.
Miss Sybil Keymer," Riversmere," Albany Rd., Leighton Buzzard, Eng, writes: "I think I should inform you that I have recently derived very grew benefit from the use of Phosferine. 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 fellow a long railway joumey, particularly during bot weather. This is of very great importance to me, as frequently only a very little time clapses 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 Phosfering enables me tą do myself justice as a violinist, preventing any of the unsteadiness of the muscle nerves, which is so harmful to tone■nd quality, that I confidently commend the tonic at every opportunity.”—July 11, 1912.

TROUSERS FOR WOMEN,
A divided garment, in other words, tromers, is the logical outcome of the very tight skirt. Whether this, or the reactionary return of the tempestuous petticoat, will win the day it is difficult to gurgs. One American lady has already taken to the masculine trousers, but has added to it frills round the lege, which serve to denote that the garment invests a feminine creature. This concession has.. no doubt, nu exellent moral reason, but it presents n peculiar appearance. This lady wears no skirt. How long will her very particular, countrywomen permit
