About the Music Nerve—

A great musician seems to be one big nerve-The Music Nerve which thrills and vibrates to every mood and emotion, and thus the wry ardour of gentaserfausts the nerve force far more rapidly than is usual with less gifted people. Interviewed recently aboin this important fact, Mr. Mark Hambourg, the wonderful master of the piano, admits that 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 Phosferine. So highly does Mr. Hambourg esteem the recuperative powers of the famous 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 have derived consider- able benefit from the use of Phosferine and find it to be an excellent. pick-me-up after my recitals."-November 3, 1905.
