A SCHOOLMISTRESS.

Indigestion, Neuralgia, Headaches,

and Nervous Ailments-

Probably nothing lests a woman's patience so much as teaching a class of small children. Their natural restlessness and wandering attention require such persistent "checking" that the tracher's nerves begin to chale and tire of being so actively concentrated upon the same task, and the result is an attack of neorgia or headache. This is well illustrated in a letter from Mrs. E. Thompson, headmistress at the School House, Corringham, who found that having to force the nerves to work beyond their capacity, invariably produced Neuralgia, Indigestion, and a train of nervous ailments which she could only remedy by taking a course of Conscious of her many responsibilites as a schoolmistress, Phosferine. Mrs Thompson works with more than ordinary weal, and thus experienced those numbing headaches so familiar to all brain workers, until she dis- covered in hosferine a perfect preventive of all such nerve disorders.. and a tonic which stores up energy in readiness for all demands.

How to prevent and remedy them.

Mrs. E. Thompson, School House, Corringham, writes: I consider Phosfering one of the finest of medicines. We are hever without it, and use it not only for Indigestion, Neuralgia, and Nervous Ailments, but in the case of any ordinary headache (with which we are troubled), find nearly always almost immediate relief. I have recommended it to many friends cach of whom testify to the great benefit derived."-Nov. 27, 1900,
