Debility, Nervous Exhaustion-

Certainly the absolute confidence of eminent doctors is evidence enough of the exceptional benefits imparted by Phosferine. Even doctors cannot do more to prove their confidence than by using Phosfering to remedy their er disorders. Could any proof be more definite, more convincing than the testimony of Jobp Dodd, D.S.M., Medical Officer in the late South African War, who says: "After being shot through both lungs I was dangerously reduced, and I attribute it solely to Phosferine that I regained my usual health. I have proved the value of Phosferine in brain, Berve, and muscular exhaustion ♬ This brilliant medical officer found Phosferine particularly serviceable for insufficiency of nerve force, andTM declares nothing was so suitable in combating fevers, chills, &

Not possible now

John Dodd, D.S.M. (late of the Medical Staff; 5th Imperial Yeomanry, 1st Brigade, South Africa), Ladysmith-House, Witton-le-Wear, writes: I have had considerable experience in the use of your invaluable remedy Phosferine, and it has proved particularly serviceable where there exists insuficiency of nerve force. This condition, often due to primary weakness, lays the system open to influenza, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion, fevers, and in remedying this predisposition I have found nothing so suitable as your preparation. Phoslerine invariably goes to the root of the mischiet diect. The certainty of its action is moreover an estimable feature. In debility and kindred ailments, caused by a reduced system, has unprecedented power, and in my own case I can bear evidence to its exceptional value, and am indeed greatly indebted to its wonder- ful restorative properties. During the late war in South Africa, I was shot through both lungs and pericardium and that reduced me most dangerously after taking Phosferine for about two months it brought me back to my usual health. I attribute this solely to the use of Phosferine. : I have advised Phosferine in several cases, and proved its value in biniu, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."-March 11, 1910.
