Pneumonia and Pleurisy After Effects,

Wasting and Weakness-

Happy and cheerful with abundance of energy and good spirits, is bow Miss Dunford describes herself from the day she commenced to take Phosferine. Yet before she found relief in Phosferine words failed to express the miserable torments she endured from the effects of pneumonia and pleurisy, the aches, sleeplessness, neuralgia, and wasting, which even doctors failed to remedy. No wonder Miss Dunford feels after two years of such suffering without ease or rest for the body) that Phosferine has given fer a wee and better lease of life," for she declares it is entirely owing to Phosfetine that she is actively busy again. Every overwrought wage-garning woman will find a message of hope in Miss Dunford's experience, with its splendid assurance of renewed nervous vitality, and absolute prevention of tissue wasting,

The

Miss Daisy Dunford, High, Street, Shrowton, Wilts, writes: "I have found Phosferiuc to be a wonderful remedy. Some two years ago. I had pneumonia and pleurisy, which left me with terrible pains in my back and logs. Two doctors prescribed for ine, but gave me not the slightest relief. ceul not sit lie down, or sleep, on account of the incessant agony, and I became so exceedingly weak and wasted that my friends were seriously alarmed. My appetite failed, and the little food I ate caused indigestion; my life was nothing but a prolonged torture. doctors said it was a form of neuralgia and sciatica, but the words do not convey any idea of my fearful state. I thought I would give Phosferine a trial, which I did, and after taking it for a little while, the pains were not nearly so acute, and finally left me altogether. I regained flesh, felt stronger, the indigestion entirely disappeared, and now, thanks to its marvellous aid, my health and strength, is completely restored. I cannot put into words my gratitude for the good Phosferine has done me, for i feel it has given me a new and better lease of life!"

The titanic acnie on which modern structures are built has made necessary new methods of tearing down as well as of building up Mach labour is sired by slicing up steel framework with knives of intensely het flame, and now another advance has been made by "reaking up concrete with hydraulic jacke. In deepening the channel connecting the docks at Fleet. wood, Eng., it was necessary to remove an old concrete sill 50 feet long by 10 wide and 17 of coffer-dams the deep. By the aid sita was freed from water, and girders supporting & drilling platform were plazed across the opening. An 18-inch tube of inch steel, using chilled shot to bore epulor holes: drilled into the concreto at the rate of an incl in 11 minutes. On reaching the necessary depth, gravel was poured in to bind the core to the drill tubs, and by a little manipulation the core was broken off, and was then pulled out. After a number of holes had been drilled, bori- sontal jacks were inserted. These exerted a pressure of 275 tons, and easily broke the concrete, the largest of the blocks produced weighing about nine tons,
