A Celebrated Violiniste.

Nervous Fatigue, Languor—

The fouer is xcel, the confidence which rasures her brilliant successe says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous mares force created by Phosferine. How greather the numerous distinctions and triumphant career of this accomplishct. musician are promoted by the brain energy and physical stamina developed by Phosferine, is evident from Miss Keymer's admission that the topic "enabled me to do myself justice." This power to excel, this ability to make perfect use of her skill, depends upon the marvellous control and steadiness of the muscle serves Phosfering has given her, and to which she owes the entrancing tone and quality of her musical renditions. Naturally, this energising effect of boslerine was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listlessness, and fatigue, which were the bane of ber public appearances, and it is tais happy outcome which impels Miss Kaycer to testify 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 Phosferint. In the course ai tmy professions I have to travel a good deal in getting to my various concerts, and I fit. that since using Phosferine I ain 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 con mencement of a concert, and it is such a rehef 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, whicha is so harmful to tone and quality, that I confidenty commend the toxic at every opportunity."-July 1, 1912
