A Medical Officer

Debility, Nervous Exhaustion-

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 thuir own disorders. Could any proof be more definite, more convincing than the testimony of John Dodd, D.5.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 valus 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

Jolin 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 insufficiency of nerve force. This condition, often due to primary warkness, lays the system open to influenza, colds,neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion, favers, 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 D estimable feature. In debility and kindred ailments, caused by a reduced system, it 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, I was shot through both langs 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 soldy to the use of Phosferine, I have advised Phosferine in several cases, and proved is value in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."March 1, 1910

THE MYTH OF THE AMONAUT SAIL.

The cephaloped molluscs known as argonants really act as submersible power boats, instead of spreading their membranous arms as sails, as they have been long fabled to do. The creature propels itself by ojecting water from its siį kon. At the Naples Zoological Station, Signor Baglion has found that it does not always remain on the surface, as naturaliste huvo supposed, but, by exhausting the air from its shell, it can sink and travel under water.

LİER IN INTEÉFLANETARY SPAUZ. The old idea that life may have been spread from world to world by dust particles traversing space is being again discussed. Prof. Brante Arrhenius, the Swedish physlalat, finds that spontaneous generation is probably no longer possible on the earth, but conceives that it may take place on some globe having more favourable physical and chemical conditions, From that globe life may be scattered to other habitable bodies on particles driven by the pres ́are of light.” It récent experiments with bad

BRIDGE STRENGTHENING BY INJECTIONS.

An injection of cement was the novel method intely adopted to make strong and serviceable two erambling stone railway bridges at Ham- burg, Germany. The arches-51 feet in span were cracked in all directions, and small holes wore bored partly through the masonry at the sidos of the cracks, and thin cement mortar was forced in at a pressure of five atmospheres, When this had hardened, the stone work was found to be thoroughly consolidated.
