A Vigorous Elderly Lady

Age Weakness, Sleeplessness,

Sciatica

"It Is been life to me for more than ten years," says Miss Mason in acknowledging "how simpletely Phosferine gives her the vigoar and strength to overcome the feebleness and infirmities of yo years of age, Since taking Phosfarine all sleeplessness and sciatica has disappeared, and she undertakes daties which were previously beyond her strength, declaring she feels as wergetic and capable, with her faculties as sound and alt, as in the prine of life. In firm, clear handwriting, Miss Mason records the restoration of her appetite and the renewal of healthy action in the bodily functions, thus proving how effectively Phosferine reinforced her vitality, and derived the servors activities of the hardening and ageing tissues. Such commanding evidence of the power of Phosferine to arouse and infuse vitality into systems for old and too weak to help themselves, is convincing proof that younger people will benefit even more rapidly and extensively from the energising influence of Phoslerina.- -

Most Successfully Overcome.

Miss A. L. Mason, Albert Villa, Park Road, Clevedon, Eng, writes:- "I am pleased to tell you Phosferine has been a most valuable medicive to "me, for judge the ten yours. I was in a very low condition some time ago, and sufferert greaty from insonmia and sciatica; the latter, I ani glad to say, is now geite gode, nd I sleep fairly well, Phosférine has quite restored tav napetits, but i do not expect much greater strengthai yo years of age. I take as much exercise as I can possibly manage, the chief weakness betez, in my back and legs, but Phosferine always relieves me. Phoslerine has been life to me.

The woman stared.

Open air is good for doing difficult work in, and I shall see the garden which I can already smell so delightfully," thought the stranger as he followed the path indicated by the servant "It would hardly have been tactful to ask if Miss Greenwood is a young, or an old, or a middle-aged lady.

"No; how could you?"

He learned a good many particulars of the lonely girl's way of life, and her com- panionship with the colt, the calf, the kitten and the Irish torrier. And when at last he went away he was thinking more of the girl herself than of the letter he had failed to obtain from her.

"She has not seen the last of me, bow. over," he said to himself as he walked away down the drive, having said good bye to her.

Rollinson had put up at a little country inn not a mile from the Haystacks. It was still early in the day when he returned there, and as he went he smiled to himself at the attitude taken up by Anastasia. It pleased him to think that a good dragon in starched white muslin and with stern searching eyes was no guard beside this seemingly forlorn, and guardian-less, and family-less, child-like and bewitching (Continued on Page 8.)
