The Eddystone Lighthouse Keeper

Nervous Depression, Sleeplessness,

Neuralgia, Rheumatic Cramps-

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

The overpowering 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 Mr. Warder deshires he is as active, hardy, and lively since taking Phosferint, 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 lifebunt, coxswain, thinks of Phosferine, and I feel you would be glad to know what a lot of real good your famous tonic bas 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 rom loss of sleep, and, even when fired out, could get no real rest owing to stiffness and theamatic 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 bass 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,

"KILLS THE DANDRUFF GERM.”

ITHOUT dandruff the hair must grow luxuriantly, except

in chronic baldness, which is incurable. Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a germ or microbe. Το eure dandruff, this germ-a tiny vegetable growth-must be destroyed and kept out of the scalp by Newbro's Herpicide.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY.

A woman to be pretty must have pretty hair. Beautiful looks have a subtle charm, for the poot says, "Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnares." The unpoetic and intensively real dandruf microhe makes the hair dull, brittle and lustreless with later dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. Newbro's Herpi- cide destroys this enemy of beauty and enables the hair to resume its natural lustre and abundance. Almost marvellous results sometimes follow the continued use of Herpicide. Overcomes ́ex- cessive oiliness and makes the hair light and fluffy. It contains no grease or dye. Stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.

Discriminating ladies who have used Newbro's Herpicide, speak of it in the highest terms, for its almost magical effect upon the scalp, and also for its excellenco as a regular hair dressing. It is delightfully fragrant and freshing.

"I have found Newbro's Horpicide execllout for the hair. The fret application stops itching of the scalp and it leaves the hair soft and elky."
