The Great Channel Swim

Burgess' Endurance and Vitality-

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRES, SATURDAY, APRIL 13гg, 1v

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 Phosferine 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 limited nerve force derived from Phosferine furnished 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 Phosterine, he frankly declares that Phosferice alons 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 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.

MR, KELLER,

DY

HON, MRS. ARTHUR HENNIKER.

(Author of "In Bearlet and Grey,' "Contrasts," "Our Fatal Shadows, etc.)

(Concluded.)

Now that he had spent ten days in ons of its more popular centres, Mr. Kellor did not find that he liked London any better. He was lonely in the great house, afraid of his smarta servants, who he knew were inwardly laughing at him, and he was becoming inexpressibly bored with his cousin, Mrs. Glynne-Jennings. - She would never leave him to bimself. She told him that he ought to ride, and to got horses. Having been in a dragoon regiment, he was a fair horseman, and made quite a respectable appearance as he rode on a chestnut hack with remark- ably fine action.

You must of course have a motor," said Mrs. Jennings. And Mr. Keller bought an expensive Napier car, and lent it, on most days to his cousins-Barbara only declining to drive in it.

You love music, and have a charming voice, Hans! Why yes, undoubtedly you should take a box at the Opera You will give so much pleasure to your friends, and see them in such a nice way!!

Which meant that they talked to Mr Keller when he longed to be silent, and listen in peace to the orchestra.

The day of his first dinner party had arrived, and several carte crammed full of roses had drawn up to the door at an carly hour. It seemed that the different rooms were to be adorned ench, with a

It was notorious that the General, her hushark, was making a fool of himself with a well-known beauty, and what should Mr. Keller do but express his view that the object of this gallant soldier's devotion was, without question, the; prettiest woman ko had yet seen in London Vainly did Mr. Jennings try to intervene, and an unpleasant stiffness and silence fell over the party, a fact which the host felt was somehow or another connected with his own short- comings and stupidity, d

The following day he called upon his cousins, who were, however, too, anxious to please him to agree, when he said nervously

"I am afraid I shall never get on in London ! I have nothing to say to all these good people"

"O you will in time" cried Mrs, Glynne-Jennings, and Barbara laughed low in the window.

On his way down, Mr. Keller came to the conclusion that he must go into Mrs. Swan's shop, and compliment her on the dinner-table adornments. As he opened the door, he heard a disagreeable voice saying:

Well, upon my word, Mias Cardew! You're getting a good deal too much above yourself."

The latter looked up to see a tall, burly gentleman, with eyes fixed sternly upon her through a pince-nez. Her frowns vanished, and she advanced to meet him with accents that could best be described as oily.

Two or three assistants were with her, cutting off leaves and banding flowers, but she was evidently the presiding genius. The even ing sun fell on her fair hair, and her face which looked pale and tired. Mr. Keller stood still and watched her. How deft her fingers were! How hard she worked, this pretty little shop-girl! He must certainly compliment her, for the tables were very lovely,

"I must congratulate you, Miss!" said he in his pleasant guttural voice. You have made my tables very elegant! One feels here as if in a most beautiful garden!

Molly smiled with pleasure.

Thank you," she said. I love the work. There can be few things more delightful than the arranging of such glorious flowers! I am glad you are pleased."

"O1 really how very interesting must be a delightful cecupation!"

It

Trying vainly to get liss Cardew to raise her eyes and look at him, Mr. Keller bowed, but went slowly out of the shop. He strolled up the street and on towards the Park.

He liked the walk by the water, and stood still to watch the rabbits and pigeons, so tame and prosperous on the grass. Presently he was aware of a girlish figure, crossing Rotton Row, and hurrying up the pathway. Yes, it was the pretty girl who had been in his house yesterday. She dushed a little when she saw him watching her. Mr. Keller raised his hat and spoke with great respect and courtesy:⠀

"It was to you my thanks should have been given!" he said.

The girl started, and spoke much more "I I shall never be able to go abroad again!"

The door was flung open, and Mrs. Swan's sarcastic gaze fell upon Mr. Keller bending over her assistant, and on the latter appearing more emotional then was fitting.

Mr. Keller admired the grace of her figure, and as to colour, she evidently did not realise how yellow her hair looked in the evening sunlight, or how pretty her mauve dress was against the blue back ground. He came nearer, and laid his hand on a bunch of roses in a basket at Her elbow.

"I am a gardener myself, Miss," said he. In Germany, the place where I live, the soil is splendid and our roses grow very high.

You must long to be back there, out of this hot town, I should think " said Miss Cardew-her head on one side, as she critically surveyed the finishing touches now being put by a young helper. Indeed I do!" All this place, this house, these surroundings, are so strange

People like these, who have felt ill for a long time, whose convalescence has been slow, who take a dispirited view of their condition, can all recover their old sense of buoyancy, their old feeling of vigorous health and energising vitality, if they will give heed to one of the strongest lessons being taught in the world of science ta- day.

It is, however, worth drawing divided into a number of separate com- partments as it were, each of which has little or no relation to the others, as so many people seem to imagine," On the contrary, every system of the body de- rends in some way on every other system for its healthy activity. It is because Sanatogen acts directly on the nerves and the blood, and increases the body's nutrition, that it has so wide an applica tion in the care of various disorders and diseases.

Among the conditions of ill-health from which Sanatogen may be confidently ex- pected to restore the sufferer, are those affecting the nerves, like nervous debility and breakdown; brain fag, with loss of memory and sleeplessness nervous ex- haustion; dyspepsia, and anemia, with its attendant symptoms of languor; shortness of breath; palpitation, etc, and all conditions in which there is wasting or loss of weight.
