The Great Channel Swim

Burgess' Endurance and Vitality-

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS. SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1912.

It is the big success, the great deed itself, that proves the wisdom of Burgess in employing Phosferine to provide the endurance and energy which enabled him to swim the Channel. To Phosferite 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 bis daring and thrilling 23 hours swim! Comparing his triumph with his previous failures, Burgess declares that the unlimited nerve force derived from Phosferine furnished the endurance to finish his swim successfully this time. Obviously Phosferice was the making of Burgess great deed, and alike with other innumerable victors who have achieved renown by the invigorating aid of Phosferine, 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 any keen appreciation of Phosferino 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 upon 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 Phosferine is indispensable." Sept. 7, 1911.

Poor Elizabeth's plans went, strangely Awry.

She went into the drawing-room, and a total stranger gravely shook hands with her. Then she sat down-Marian had taken the bottom of the table in her absence, and grove of flowers cut her off from all sight of him.

They talked about the next inevitable elections, and suddenly in the middle of some commonplace of Mr. Sugden's fami- liar tone, an odd little crack in his voice arrested her. It made her heart leap: it was like suddenly coming face to face with an old friend.

Marian was in great form. She had evidently read the political leader in the morning paper, after Alr. Courtney had finished with it, and sc had Mr. Sugden. Each capped the appropriate comments of the other, and he seemed interested

Mr. Sugden monceuvred his head round the flowers in the centre of the table.

"And are you as keen a politician as your niece?" he asked Elizabeth.

No, I am afraid I am still indifferent." Faid she.

"I remember you used to be," he said, and that was the only reference made to the past.

Afterwards Marian played a slow move- ment of one of the much-practised sonatas, and he complimented. Elizabeth on the pianiste's touch. The movement was somewhat long, and soon after it was finished he and his host strolled up to

"But surely," she said. "It is rice of you to come. We--we haven't seen you for a long time, Marian is indoors. Will you go in? I will join you when I have finished-"

He looked at her for a moment: then back at the gate through which he had

"That was the gate I went out at when we said good-bye years ago. At least I went over it."

They walked a few yards in silence: then he stopped.
