A Lady Housekeeper

Nervous Exhaustion, Neuralgia,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY lirя, 1918.

Sleeplessness-

The fact that Mrs. Taylor did not give up her work, and did not go for a change, is clear proof Phosforine prevented the nervous breakdown which her doctor said was certain unless she gave 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 neither change nor rest was possible, she concluded the only certain way to keep going was to supplement her vitality with Phosferine. The actual benefit Mrs. Taj lor. experienced within a few hours exceeded even the relief she knew would result from Phosfere, every nerve centre in her system began to resume its activity, thus promoting her recovery with daily increasing rapidi Now that all traces of nervous disorders are expelled, and she sleeps sounder and cats 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 feel for themselves how capable, vivacious, and happy.. natured this new energy makes everyone,

Completely done with.

Mrs. R. E. Taylor, 569, Goldhawk Road, Chiswick; writes: The. benefit I have received from Phosferine is almost incredible. I had been suffering for months from Neurasthenia, everything was a burden to me, head pains and body pains were constant, I could not eat, neither could sleep. I felt atterly, ill and wearied out, and after struggling on for some time, I was told by my doctor there was nothing for it but 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 m so much goal 14 years ago in a case of neuralgia and weakness following maternity, and so I started your remedy again. I consider it has irgatu worked miracles for me. 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, 1913.

THE FIRST FILM.

THE ROMANCE OF A GREAT BRITISH INVENTION.

About three o'clock one winter's morn- ing seventeen years ago police on duty in Hatton Garden, Lendou, were startled by loud shouts, which were followed by louder cheers. They hurried to the building from which the noises came-a place used by an electrical engineer and scientific instrument maker-knocked loudly at the door, were admitted, and found the owner, Robert Paul, and a aumber of workmen in a great state of excitement.

They had succeeded, after months of patient working, in throwing the first

noving picture on the screen.

The film was but forty feet long and the screen but seven feet square.

A year later Robert Paul showed his pictures on the screen for the first time in public at the Finsbury Technical College and the London Institution. The scientific world hailed the new process with delight, ent the picture theatre was born into the world.

Not one, among the British scientists wwho congratulated. Mr. Paul on that memorable night at the London Institu on could have foreseen the day when moving.pictures would be shown on some 50,000 screens in a-many buildings pro vided for the purpose-all over the civi lised globe.

More than £1,000,000 has been spent in building and equipping these picture theatres in the British Isles. The public are paying soine £10,000,000 a year to see the pictures in some 6,000 theatres.

DOES YOUR FOOD SEEM REPULSIVE?

REAL HELP FOR

DISTRESSED

DIGESTIONS.

At this time of year the digestive organs of many people exhibit signs of weakness. The sufferers lose appetite, and meals are neglected or left almost untouched. This failure to supply the body with nourishment induces a faint or "all gone" feeling, yet if food is taken, then follows flatulence, headache, drowsy depression, a feeling of suf- focation, and the agonies of indigestion.

The proper course to romedy this weakness is to increase and enrich the blood so that the enfeebled organs of digestion may be strengthened and made fit to again perform their work properly. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do just this; they create Parc and Good Blood that restores weak digestions, making them strong and healthy. One of the first proofs of this is in the sharpening of the appetite that promptly follows their use.

"I became quite concerned aboat my wife's health some menths ago," says Mr. J.-A. Barbot, Deputy Postmaster of the G. P. O., Colombo. Iler once good appalite failed, sho tacame troubled with indigestion, headaches, and disturbed sleep, and an unusual pallor in her face showed that her blood was ia na impoverished condition.

"Remembering that on several recasions friends bad told me of the great value of Dr. Willams Pink Pills as a tonic, I bought a fow bottles of these Pills for my wife. After only a week it became vilent that they were doing her a lot of good. Soon I thankfully saw that her appetite had vatured and that she was again enjoying peacofal nightly sleep. It seemed as thingh Dr. Williams Piek Pills pa! now blond into my wife's veins; within two weeks they restored her to perfect bealth."

His Majesty the King became interested in the moving picture at the time when, as Duke of York, he commanded the Crescent. He recognised the possibilities which the cinematograph possessed as an educative force in naval matters, and took with him on a cruise a young operater-Mr. Alfred West, F.R.G.S whose pintures, shown at Portsmouth, attracted the attention of the Admiralty. Tis Majesty was responsible for the suggestion that these first haval films should be shown to Queen Victoria at Osborne House. These were the only moving pictures Her Majesty over saw.
