A Medical Officer

Debility, Nervous Exhaustion-

THE HONGKONA BOLY PRESS SATURDAY, NŐVEMBER STE, 1916.

Certainly the absolute confidence of eminent doctors is evidence enough of the exceptional benefits imparted by Phosferine. Even doctors cannot do more to prove their confidence than by using Phosfirini to remedy the 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 War, 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, nerve, 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 Bold, D.S.M. (late of the Medical Staff, 5th Imperial Yeomanry, 1st Brigade, South Africa), Ladysmith House, Witton-le-Wear, writes: I have had considerable experience in the use of your invaluable remedy hosferine, and it has proved particularly serviceable where there exisis insufficiency of nerve force. This condition, often due to primary weakness, lays the system open to influenza, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion, fevers, and in remedying this predisposition I have found nothing so suitable as your preparation. Phosferine invariably goes to the root of the mischiel direct. The certainty of its action is moreover an estimable feature. In debility and kindred ailments, caused by a reduced- system, has unprecedented power, and in my own case I 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 Phosfering. I have advised Phosferiae in several cases, and proved its value, in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."-March 11, igro.

An attempt to locate the distance sense of the blind has been made by Dr. Woolffin, a German investigator, who Ands from his own and other experiments that this sense is prob sbly a function of the sensory fibras of the first of the three branches of the trifacialnerre or trigeminu. This nerve, ramifying through the face, has been credited with the threefold function of a norve of motion, of commen seonation, and of the special sonse of taste. It has been long known that some persons among the blind can more about with re- markable certainty without coming contact with any large objent, and half a sentury ago. Spellaazani sheered that bats fly about confidently and safely in darkness and even when bliud.

The Impulse to Success.

Emerson was a great thinker and a wise pbilosopher. When therefore he lays it down that "if a man of ability should give you his honest experience, you would find that he owed more impulse to books than to living minds,' we may agree with him unhesitatingly.
