A Medical Officer

Debility, Nervous Exhaustion-

Certainly the absolute confidence of eminent doctors is evidence enough. of the exceptional benefits imparted by Phosforipe. Even doctors cannot do more to prove their confidence than by using Phosferine to remedy their own disorders. Could any proof. be more definite, more convincing than the testimony of John Dodd, D.S.M., Medical Officer in the late South African Wat, who says: After being shot through both lungs I was dangerously reduced, and I attribute it solely to Phosferine that. I regained my usual health I have proved the value of Phosferine in brain, Barve, and muscular exhaustion." This brilliant medical officer found Phosferine particularly serviceable for insufficiency of nerve force, and declares nothing was so suitable in combating fevers, chills, &c.

Not possible now

John Dodd, D.S.M. (late of the Medical Staff, 5th Imperial Yeomanry, 1st Brigade, South Africa), Ladysmith House, Witton-le-Wear, writes: "I have bad considerable experience in the use of your invaluable remedy Phosferine, and it has proved particularly serviceable where there exists insufficiency of nerve force. This condition, often due to primary weakness, lays the system open to influenza; colds, neuralgia, theumatism, indigestion, fevers, and in remedying this predisposition I have found mathing so suitable as your preparation. Phosferine invariably goes to the root of the mischief direct. The curtainly of its action is moreover an estimable feature. In debility and kindred hilmams, caused by a reduced system, it has unprecedented power, and in my own case 1 can bear evidence to its exceptional value, and am indeed greatly indebted to its wonder. ful restorative properties. During the late war in South Africa, 1 was shot through both lungs and pericardium and that reduced me most dangerously; after taking Phosferine for about two months it brought me back to my usual health. I attribute this solely to the use of Phosferine. I have advised Phosferine in several cases, and proved its value in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."-March 14, 1910,

Indeed, there seems to be current quite a number of distorted notions about sour milk. It is supposed to induce longevity, because Balgarians who use it never die until over ninety years of age. Quite so, but how about the children? Wherever this food is used the infant mortality is ovaz 50 per gent., and that is true of every country between Bulgaria and Afghanistan.

The new machine is made to operate steadily and economically through simple gas combustion. The turbine, of ordinary type and working well at 600 to700 deg. C., is of special nickel, vanadium or tungsten steel, and has a novel feature in a compressor on the same axle, that sends into the gas generator a current of air at a pressure of several atmospheres. Heavy petrol eil sprayed into the generator is burned in the current of air heated to 1,800 deg. C, The great volume of gas produced gives zaffoient pressure to drive the turbine, but as is the boat too great, the excess uned parily for beating the air previous to combustion and partly to vapourize water Injected into the gases.

JENNIE A. ABBOTT,

2443, Wardez Avenue,

CLEVELAND, ÜHIC,

While it is not natural for everyone to have extremely long hair, it is possible for every lady to have beautiful hair, for when the scalp is not diseased, the hair. will grow naturally and abundantly.

The chief discase of the scalp is dandruff-which is highly contagious—and dandruff is now known to be caused by an invisible vegetable growth called the dandruff germ. Ordinarily, the first signs of scalp infection are dryness, dullness and brittleness of the hair, although the disease sometimes causes excessive. oiliness. Following this, the hair loses its lustre, the scalp itches more or less and dandruff appears. Falling hair and baldness represent the last stages of bair destruction.

Newbro's Herpicide-the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ-will cure any stage of this disease, except chronic baldness, which is incurable. Herpicide not only destroys the dandruff germ and stops falling hair, but it is a most exquisite hair dressing, making the hair light and fluffy and giving it a silken gloss. Almost marvellous results sometimes follow the continued use of Herpicide. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
