Kircheurs 75:

Nervous Breakdown, Paralysis-

The master force which conquered the most perilous afflictions and enabled him to endure amazing hardships, says Captain Henderson, is derived entirely from Phosfarine. Exposed by his adventurous life to an extraordinary series of misfortunes, from being disabled in action, to sunstroke, enteric fever, and paralysis of the legs, this gallant officer was yet able, entirely owing to the aid of Phosferine, to leave the hospital and fight through to the end of the Boer War! Under blows which make. men reel and fall, Captain Henderson was so upheld by the vitalising and bracing qualities of Phosferine, that actually on his return home he was robust and vigorous enough to win four military prices in one day... including the famous Victoria Cross Cup

Cured with Signal Success.

Captain D. E. Henderson, 1, Marino Avenue, Clontarf, Dublia, writes :- "During the late Boer War, I had a severe shock from lightning, and an injury to the spine through my horse being killed in action and rolling on top of me. In India, some years previously, I had an attack of sun- stroke, and was five months in hospital with Enteric Fever. These troubles told upon me, and ultimately resulted in a complete nervous breakdown when in Pretoria. I was admitted to hospital when I had lost the use of my legs. I was treated for neuritis and sent out only partly cuted, and then started taking Phosferine systematically and regularly. The benefit I received was marvellous; in two months time I was back in the field and fought right through until the end of the war. Owing to a great financial loss, which preyed on my mind, I had a second break- down, and the doctor told me that I would probably be paralysed for life. I thought again of Phosferine, and after using it about three weeks my strength gradually returned and the frightful depression and weakness leit me. The proof of which is that, in the military sports, I won four prizes in one day, including the Victoria Cross cup."-July 14, 1911.

Shadows," etc.).

"I sometimes wonder if he'll turn out quite impossible," said Mrs. Glynne Jennings

"It's surely waste of time to wonder

any more on the subject, as we are to have the inexpressible joy of seeing him to-morrow!"

The speaker, Barbara, yawned, and looked out of the window again, though there was nothing to see from it just then excepting a water-cart, and the doctor opposite getting into his chocolate colour ed brougham. She was becoming very tired of the subject of Mr. Keller, but her evident weariness did not have the smallest

effect upon her mother's volubility. It was a comfort to Mrs. Jennings that at any rate, Hilda, her eldest daughter, was far more sympathetic For one thing she was nearly thirty-four, and Mr. Koller was rich, very rich.

It was extremely wise of him to write to me, my dears, wasn't it? We may not be able to afford to entertain ourselves, but we do somehow know hundreds of nice people, and we can put Hans Kelier in the way of them. I often say, that con- sidering our want of money, we do manage to go out a great deal, and to all sorts of delightful places!".

"Well, it surely would be odd if a young German, who, as you say, was really a sort of market gardener, should feel at his ease in a huge London house, in the company of people, all on the watch to are the mistakes he makes, poor thing!??

More than once before he arrived at Victoria, had he nearly lost hin ice-ner, his German newspapers, neatly strapped together, and his solid umbrella. He overpaid the porters and the cabman who deposited him before a house so imposing in aspect that he felt as if in a dream when he descended. tall butler of discreet appearance and two footruen were awaiting him, and carried. his shabby and gaudy plaid rug within the doors,where breakfast was ready. The: English repast, with slicca of bacon, and fillets of fish, bewildered him at this early beur. But the excellence of the coffee, which he had been told was always bad throughout Great Britain, was a delight ful surprise. The butler informed him that Mrs. Glynne Jennings hoped he would find everything comfortable, and that she trusted he would be able to call on her sometime in the course of the day?
