About the Music Nerve--

A great musician seems to be one big nerve-The Music, Nerve- which thrills and vibrates to every mod and emotion, and Thas the way erdeur of semins exhausts the nerve bone far more rapidly tim is usuá with less gifted people. Interviewed recently about this important fact, Mr. Mark Hambourg, the wonderful master of the pino, derent's at the nervous strain of continuous recitals taxes his energy so heavily that he finds it necessary to replenish his nervous system with a course of Thosferine. So highly does Mr. Hambourg esteem the recuperative powers of the Jamous nerve Tonic, that he willingly allows us to reproduce his opinion of the invigorating qualities of l'hosterine.

And how to safeguard it.

MARK HAMBOURG writes:-"I consider I finve derived consider able busent from the use of Phosterine and find it to be an excellent pick-me-up after my iecitals."-November 3, 1906.
