A Grateful Wife

Maternity Weakness,

SKATES

Rheumatic Fever, Depression-

Just sitting still and thinking everything possible has been done, does not suit Mrs. Wilson, for all the usual ways failing to restore her husband's health, she tried the Royal way-the Phosferine any The benefit was immediate, for all the depression and weakness of rheumatic fever, which change of air, diet, and friends had failed to relieve, diminished with every dose of Piusferine. This triumphant outcome of Mrs. Wilson's devoted vigilance is typical of the exceptional efficacy of Phosferine, but of stiil deeper importance is her assurance that before, during, and after child- birth she herself derived such an access of strength and vitality from Phosferine, that weakness, lassitude, or distress was not in any way experienced.

Decidedly Abolished.

Mrs. E. Wilson, 41, Bedford Road, Grays, Essex, writes My husband started taking Phosferine after a severe bout of rheumatic fever, and although he went away to the seaside for change of air failed to make any headway. He wrote complaining of always feeling tired and despondent, and doubtful as to whether he would ever be able to resume his business. I sent him a 2/9 bottle of Phosferine, and after a few doses, he felt a great deal of difference, and before his supply was finished was quite himself again and ready and able to do a hard day's work with anyone. I am also very grateful for the good Phosferine has done me in maternity weakness; before my child was born I took it regularly and it strengthened a wonderfully, the subsequent tar upon my constitution was not half so great as one would naturally expect. I am certain Phosferine taken by mothers is a great help both before and after child-biril, as it supplies just the strength needful at this time, and moreover, imparts strength and stamina to both, and I assure you I am very proud of my beautiful baby girl."-February 8, 1910

BTJEAGE OF "HOUSEHOLD HEXT.

Heat storage, instead of storage of ulectric current, is the plan of G. G. Bell, a London engineer, for keeping electric lighting stations employed in the daytime. An iron block 18 inches high and 12 'n diameter is Covered with magnesia to prevent the escape of heat, and in the hollow centre is onelesed a removable electrio. heating unit in several sections. As the heating unit is raised to a high temperature, the iron block becomes hot, remaining so indefinitely. Un limited beat for cooking is provided, and as tho current switched on only during the hours when light is not required, it is supposed that contral stations can reduce the cost to that of less con“ venient and cleanly systems of heatin". The apparatus supplies hot air, steam or hot water for house beating...
