Nervous Breakdown, Paralysis-

The paste force which conquered the most perilous afflictions and enabled him to endure amazing hardships, says Captain Henderson, is derived entirely from Phosfiring. 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, entively owing to the aid of Phosferime, to leave the hospital and fight through to the end of the Boer War! Under blows which make men reel and fall, Capinin Henderson was so upheld by the vitalicing and bracing qualities of l'hosterine, that actually on his return home he was robust and vigorous enough to win four military prizes in one day, including the famous Victoria Cross Cupf

Cured with Signal Success.

Captain D. E. Henderson, 1, Marino Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin, 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 mouths in hospital with Enteric Fever. These troubles fold 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 cured, 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 Phosfesine, and after using it about three weeks my strength gradually returned and the frightful depression and weakness left me. The proof of which is that, in the military sports, I won four prizes is one day, including the Victoria Cross cup."-July 14, 1911.

As a rule, they stayed indoors during the day, for Manila is a subarb of the Inferno, and they had all learnt the folly of raising a thirst when you lack the means of satisfying it; so some lay on their heds in the stuffy little cubicles and gasped, whilst the others squabbled languidly over games of draughts, or turned the ragged pages of those ancient magazines and growled at the dullness of their contents.

The skipper drew a newspaper out of his pocket, unfolded it, and pointed to a paragraph marked in blue pencil.

"Yes," he said grimly. There is some thing fresh. There's that."

The mate granted. Let's see," he said, holding out his hand; then his lips tightened a little as he vend:

The skipper sighed. We shall have to go carefully on it."

I thought you said we should get the whole lot, after all," retorted the mate, whose confidence had returned at the touch of the bank-notes. Why we've lots of time. The Grappler is the only salvage bat in port, and Wilson has got another job on, that collier in the Straits. I don't mind if they take away my beastly Yankee ticket, so long as we get the money. I should go home and take a pub I know of in Weymouth, down by the waterside, where thuse Jersey boats lie."

The skipper sighed again. "I shall content to scrape out of it any way. just to dump the stuff overboard and clear."
