BY

Nervous Depression, Neuralgia,

Sleeplessness-

A cheerful, bright way of looking at things, a brisk activity which easily enables her to do almost as much as two ordinary persons, are some of the immediate benefits May, Parker derived from Plic: forine. Like most hard-working mothers, Mrs. Parker never found time to look after, herself, and, as is always the case, suddenly broke down' under the strain. of endless household activities. Sudden noises caused her to trendle in feeble distress, gloomy fears assailed her, neuralgia and sleeplessness tortured her nerves relentlessly, and it was from this depth of misery that Phosferine raised Mrs. Parker. That this inuedine ellect was achieved by two doses of Phosfer ine, and Mrs. Parker's once made permanent by a continuance of the tonic, demonstrates hat with the aid of Phosferino any husband can save bis wife from innumerable distresses.

Positively Cured and Prevented.

Mrs. A. Parker, 3, Linden Grove, Nunhead, writes:-"I got into a fearfully low nervous state through working too hard and overtaking my strength. Any loud noise or a sharp lanok at the door would throw me into a state of trembling and helplessness. I was always imagining all kinds of evils, and worrying about trifles. Neuralgia racked me with pain day and night, and prevented me from obtaining any rest.

I got so warn and dejected that I could have cried, out of sheer misery. My husband persuaded me at last to take some Phosici ine, and the effect was simply marvellous; the palus not only ceased, but ? have had no return simr. It seemed more like magic than anything else that a few drops of Phosforine could produce such a change. 1 kept on with it, and I began to gain strength; the neuralgia disappeared for good, the net vou-ness, dejection, and worry left me, and now I feel quite well."--Nov. 17, 1911.
