A Medical Officer

Debility, Nervous Exhaustion—

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, 1910.

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 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 War, who says: "After being shot through both lungs I was dangerously reduced, and I attribute it solely to Phosferine that 1. 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 favers, 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 had considerable experience in the use of your invaluable remedy Phosferine, and it has proved particularly serviceable where there exists insuficiency 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 mischief direct. The certainty of its action is moreover an estimable feature. In debility and kindred ailments, caused by a redticed system, it has unprecedented porver, and in my own case! 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, I 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 Phosfere. I have advised Phosferine in several cases, and proved its value in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."-March 11, 1910.

RTABILITY FOR THE AXBUPLANE,

Automatic stability of the aeroplane trontlenme and important problem is claimed to have been achieved by Lient. J. W. Danne, a British aeroncat. His machine is an old-looking biplane, and is specially remarkable in being without a tall and having no steering surfaces or ruddere axcept two small steering flaps hinged to the rear extremities of the upper during sarisce for altering the ocarse fight. The carrying planes, crescent-shaped in plaz, are curved sharply backward. They bares double curvature, and it is alajmed that this gives the automatic stability.

WORK OF TEEMITES AND ANTB. Ants are still a pot study of naturalists, and interesting now observations have been made. The nests of the termites, or white ants, of Madagascar are found by I. Junello and H Periet to be mushroom gardens from 3 to 3 feet high, each baring about 20 chambers. These are lined with wood granules, often brought a long distance, and on the wood thrives a delicate mushroom of the species rylaire, form- ing cells and spores, which feed the young tormite larvae and even the adults. When a nest is aban- doned, the naushroom - no longer kept back-de- velop long filaments. A common sut of Dalmatia. Mestor barbarus, obtains food from seeds, and han bces nofined by. F. W.
