A Celebrated Violiniste
Nervous Fatigue, Languor
The pours to excel, the confidence which ensures her brillant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous serue force created by Phosferine. How greatly the numerous distinctions and triumphant career of this accomplished musician are promoted by the brizin energy and physical stamina developed by Phosferine, is evident from Miss Keymer's admission that the tonic "enabled me to do myself justice. This power to excel, this ability to make ffect is of her skill, depends upon the marvellous control and steadiness of the muscle nerees Phosferine 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 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 great 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 beadaches 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 harmful to tone and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic at every opportunity."-July 11, 1912.

It happened in a New. York literary salon presided over by a distinguished Argentine lady. Pombo had been pre- sorted to her, and she asked him, with mich enthusiast, who was the anonymous boetess, the famous Edda, the Bogotána
"Do you really find these verses worth. reading?" asked Pombo
