The Eddystone Lighthouse Keeper

Nervous Depression, Sleeplessness,

Neuralgia, Rheumatic Cramps-

Because be has benefitted so tremendously by taking Phosferine, Mr. Francis Warder, head keeper of the Eddystone Lighthouse, now realises that until be took the Greatest of all Tonics," the best time of life was slipping away in ill-bealth. Disorders came so gradually that he was resigned to consider dural to be getting a bit stiff, not sleeping soundly, or eating so heartily, and somehow not able to enjoy things..

The overpowerin depression which Phosferine dispelled, had been slowly accumulating during the 33 years of Mr. Warder's vigilant custody of lighthouses, when the long, lonely spells of duty, the unvarying monotony, the nervous strain of his responsibility, dulled and tired his very senses.

The lost vigour is now regained, and Me Warder declares he is as active, hardy, and lively since taking Phesferims, as he was ten years back,

Completely and Easily Cured.

Mr. Francis William Warder, principal keeper, Eddystone Lighthouse, writes have read what John Haylett, the Caister lifeboat coxswain, thinks of Phosferine, and I feel you would be glad to know what a lot of real good your famous tonic has done in my case. My occupation is monotonous and lonely, and, in rough weather, having to be always on the watch, I suffered a great deal om loss of sleep, and, even when tired out, could get no real rest owing to stiffness and rheumatic cramps. After try. ing to stave this off for some time and only getting worse, I got some Phosferine and felt relief from the first dose. I can tell you it is just a marvel how well and fine I feel now, all the rheumatism and neuralgia has gone, and I have a grand hearty appetite, steady nerves, and sleep well. Why to tell the truth, I feel as active, hardy, and lively since taking Phosferine as I was ten years or so back, and it's wonderful, it is indeed, how Phosferine holds a man together."-June 7, 1909,

HONGKONG TO CHARING CROSS

VIA SIBERIA

As so many hara naked ma concorning. my journey kome last year, I thought it might be useful to detail an account of the itinerary, This will also be useful for comparison sake, as undoubtedly are long the journey will be considerably shortened both as to time and distance, not to mention the Kowloon to Peking route via Haskow, the new Peking to Kalgan line will are long be linked on to the Vladivos tok to Moscow route, I am informed that the junction will be at Elmilar, and for those who wish to visit St. Petersburg Russian tesina ars already running from Tchéliabinsk to Bt Petersburg.

Briefly, we left Hongkong on May 4th, 1909, st 1.15 p.m., and arrived at Charing Cross at 10 p.m. on May 24th.

Out of that time we had 36 hours at Shang: hai, 16 hours at Dalay, 6 hours at Moscow and 12 hours at St. Petersburg, roughly, three days, so that had it been possible to make all the connections the journey, oven in 1909, would have been reduced to 174 days.

It was a wet close day on the 4th May when we left Hongkong on board the Pacific Mail 5.8. Siberia for Shanghai. Notwithstanding the foggy weather we arrived at Woosung early on the morning of the 7th iust.. boarded the tender

I will enable you to Hear as well and as distinctly an anybody could winks. I am sure of this, because I cured myself in just the same way. I loog sines noticed that it was possible for me to hear people quite plainly when they were speaking over the "phone," whereas in a room it was difficult for me to follow them. This tnet caused me tostudy and experi« ment in the matter in all its beatings, and finally the result of my efforts was the invention of the Ear-Plinar This I can best describe and briefly as a Alinlatura Wireless Telephone.

CONVINCING EXPERIMENT.

Dr. Sabourand, of the Pastaur Institute, Paris, France, inoculated a rabbit with human dandraff germs, and "in between five and six weeks," says the official report of the Fastear Institute," the rabbit was com= pletely denuded, in fact, it had become entirely bald."

This experiment proves that dandruff is a contagious disease das to the presence of a microbio growth in the sebaceous glands of the scalp. It also proves that unless the formation of dandruff is stopped-by destroying the dandruff germ-that it will lead to falling hair and incurable baldness.
