The Great Channel Swim

Burgess' Endurance and Vitality-

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRFS),

GOOD AT THE GAME.

It is the big success, the grent derd itself, that proves the wisdom of Burgess in employing Phosferine to provide the endurance and energy which enabled him to swim the Channel. To 1-osferine the mighty Yorkshireman owes it that he has achieved more than any other living man, for on this historic occasion. he used Phosferine to prepare for his daring and thrilling 23 hours' swim! Comparing his triumph with his previous failures, Burgess declares that the limited newve force derived from Phosferine (unished the endurance to finish his swim successfully this time. Obviously Phosferine was the making of Burgess' great deed, and alike with other innumerable victors who have achieved renown by the invigorating aid of Phosferinë, he frankly declares that Phosferine alone provides the force and vitality necessary for continuous mental and physical exertion.

How he made success sure.

Mr. T. W. Burgess, 30, Dover Road, Walmer, Deal, writes:-" I am very pleased to place on record my keen appreciation of Phosferine as a nerve and muscle tonic of the highest order. I have proved from experience the unfailing efficacy of this admirable remedy, and in preparing for this special-demand aport my energies, it has been of incalculable benefit to me, and its recuperative effects immediately after my successful Channel Swim were excellent.. Its sustaining and strengthening properties are very marked, and for nervous breakdown and feats of physical endurance I consider Phosfering is indispensable. Sept. 7, 1911.
