A Lady Housekeeper

Nervous Exhaustion, Neuralgia,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER CIE, 1912.

Sleeplessness—

The fact that Mrs. Taylor did not give up lier, work, and did not go for a chang", is clear proof Phosferine prevented the nervous breakdown which her doctor said was certain unless she gace up her duties, Mrs. Taylor is not the sort who gives up easily, although she was worn to a standstill with neurasthenia and sleeplessness, and realising that wither change mor rest was possible, she concluded the only certain way to keep going was to supplement her vitality with Phosferite. The actual benefit Mrs. Taylor experienced within a few hours exceeded even the relief she knew would reseit from Phosferine, every nerve centre in her system began to resumo its activity, thus promoting her recovery with daily increasing rapidity, Now that all traces of nervous disorders are expelled, and she sleeps sounder and eats better than ever, Mrs. Taylor urges other exhausted workers not to give up, but employ Phosferine to generate a new supply of nerve force and fool for themselves how capable, vivacious, and happy- nmured this new energy makes everyone.

Completely done with.

Mrs. K. E. Taylor, 369, Goldhawk Road, Chiswick, writes:-"The benefit 1 have received from Phosferine is almost incredible. I had been suffering for nighths from Neurasthenit, everything was a burden to me, head pains and body pains were constant, I could not eat, neither could I sleep. I felt utterly ill and wearied out, and after struggling on for some time, I was told by my doctor, there was nothing for it but to give up my situation or to go away for a change. For many reasons, either would have been-my-last-wish. I remembered Phosferine had done me so much good 14 years ago, in a case of neuralgia and weakness following maternity, and I started your remedy again. I consider it tas gain wered miracles for me. I can eat and sleep well, and am able to- perform my duties, which comprise not only household affairs, but brain work, with ease and pleasure."--April 24, 1912...
