A Celebrated Violiniste

Nervous Fatigue, Languor—

The power to excel, the confidence which ensures her brilliant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous neret fores created by Phosfarine How greatly the numerous 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 topic. "enabled me to do myself justice." This power to excel, this ability to make berfect use of her skill, depands upon the marvellous control and steadiness of the muscle nerves. Phosferine has given her, and to which she owes the entrancing tone and quality of ber 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 appearance, and it is this happy outcome whichimpels Miss Keymer 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 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 Phosferize I am never troubled with the beadaches and listlessness which follow a long railway journey; particularly during bot weather. This is of very great importance to me, as frequently only a very little time elapses between teaching 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 is catinated that 112,000 tons of robber were bought by manufac turers in 1912. It need astesish no coe if 300,000 tons are required in 1920.
