Pneumonia and Pleurisy After Effects,

Wasting and Weakness-

Happy and cheerful with abundance of energy and good spirits, is how Miss Dunford describes herself from the day she commenced to take Phosferine, Yet before she found relief in Phosforine words failed to express the miserable torments she endured from the effects of pileumonia 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 ter a new and better lease of life," for sho declares it is entirely. owing to Phosfering that she is actively busy again. Every overwrought wage earning 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.

Completely Overcome.

Miss Daisy Dunford, High Street, Shrewton, Wilts, writes: "I have found Phosferine to be a wonderful remedy. Some two years ago I had pneumonia and pleurisy, which left me with terrible pains in my back and legs. Two doctors prescribed for me, but gave me not the slightest relief. I could not.sit, lie down, or sleep, on account of the incessant agory, and I became so exceedingly weak and wasted that my friends were seriously alarmned. My appetite failed, and the little food I ate caused indigestion; my life was nothing but a prolonged torture. The 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 acuto, and finally left me altogether. 1 regained flesh, folt stronger, the indigestion catirely 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 bas given me a suw and better lease of life."

A FEMARKABLE BERYL. The unique aquamarine teryl crystal reported by Dr. Geo. F. Kunz from Minas Geraer, Brazil, weighed 244 pounds, and was nearly 20 inches high and 16 inches in diameter. It was a slightly compressed hexagonal prism, with a simple basal plant at each end. It was Bo transparent that it could be seen through from end to ond, and was free from impurities, though crossed by a number of fractures The findor is said to have received $2,500.

AN IMPROVED LAMP- The mercury vapour lamp of Maurice,ol Paris, a tuhs of quarts instead of glass, Bo that it can be operated at a higher temperatore, and the result in a more agreeable yellowish light, with a reduction in the electric current necessary. The new lamp is claimed to be the most economical of any in running expense, though its first cost is high. Numerous difficul- ties have been encountered, and to obtain an electrode of small expansion it has been necessary to use: "invar" alloy medo tight with a mercury soal, to prevent distillation of mercury to the negative electrodo the tube. has been given a special shape, and to avoid overheating the ends of the tabos have been fitel with copper cooling wings to radiato away the heat excess. The power consumed is comparable to that used. by the flaming aro lamp. The quartz lamp, however, runs 1,000 hours without attention, uses no carbons and neola ne cleaning of the globe, is free from vibration from mechanical regulation, and gives a more perfect diffusion. The ultra-violet rays. that are given off in dangerous abundance are entirely cut off by the use of a glass globe.

The new chemical refrigeration of Dr. Beer Colloquial Chinese pin, a French chemist, is claimed to be free from the defects of the sumonia process, and to be especially adapted for economical zorults in small plant. In the ordinary refrigeration, the cooling is effected by the evaporation of lique- fed armonis. The ammonia gas is recovered in water, which absorbe great rolumes, and when the solution sa formed is heated the ammonis is expelled into a oneled receiver and Hiquefied by its own pressure. A serious dil fcalty is that about 25 per cent, of water is carried with the ammonia from the 80- lation. The new process, free from this trouble, uses sulphur dioxide as 20- frigerant and campher as an absorbent, 20 per cent. of naphtol being added to the latter to prevent excessive foaming and melting of the camphor on heating. The sulphur dioxide in easily liquefied and absorbe much heat in avaporating, while it is entirely disengaged in gaseous form from the camphor solution at a temperature below the boiling point of water,
