A Lay Preacher

"Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion-

Just a change of opinion was enough to give Mr. W. King his present prosperity, for he realised in the nick of time that his way was not curing his brain fag and ner votts exhaustion, so he tried the Phosferine way. Mr. King's methoil was us igaere his despondency and feeling of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigue. the lightest eflon to works cost film, aptit, as he steadily got worse, he resolved to drop his own opinion and see what Phosferine could de. The result was so astonishingly Leneficial, even after a fear doses, that the brain fag and servous exhaustion ceased entirely, enabling him to do more work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarkable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's public speaking, and so anuzingly have his prospecte improved since his speedy recovery, that he declares he had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit he derived from Phosferine,

Quite Gone----

Never Return.

Mr. W. J. King, School House, Trumpington Rd., Forest Gate, London, E., writes:-'I am writing to add my Tanic to the list of those people wh have found Phosferiae to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back I was very much run down through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, have a rest, and at the same time take- medicine, so I endeavoured to keep going on without seeking advice, but as I was getting worse I foun that policy would not do. Having heard inauy friends speak about. Phosferine, and one in particular offering me somo, I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/6 bottle, I began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better I was, even althongh I had only taken a few doses. I found I could do the same amount of work easier, and at present am. able to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. I bave a good deal of public speaking, and I find an occasional dose of Phosferine is a great benefit."—May 28, 1912. ¦

It was about six o'clock when the alarmn was first raised. One of the men noticed a wisp of smoke curling up from the hatchway of No. 2 hold and instantly informed one of the officers. Captain | C. Meyer wasted not a moment, but had all the men out and the hatchway com- pletely cleared. There was a quantity of smoke in the hold and with a freo passage of air to make matters worse there was a danger of a serious outbreak. The pumps were manned and water poured into the regions below. At the same timo Horne of the crew.were set to the task of removing the cargo. It was the intention of the captain to do that as quickly as possible in order to prevent extensive damage, whilst, if within his power, he wished to master the outbreak without calling in outside help. In this, however, he was not successful, for at

At present it is impossible to estimate the damage that has been done, but Mr. T. H. Adam, of Lloyd's Register, is making a survey of the ship.

According to Captain Meyer the fire originated in the bunkers. Between the forebunkers and No. 2 hold there is just a bulkhead, and the captain's explanation is that the coal, becoming heated, heated the bulkhead to such an extent that the goods lying up alongside began to amoulder. It may be mentioned that Captain Meyer wishes to bear tribute to the sterling work put in during the night by the Tangjong Pagar fire brigade. Mr. J. R. Nicholson and Mr. Lane were both on the spot saperintending the work of the brigade,

The battleship Triúngh, which is to g cut to the China Station and he kept ia reserve at Hongkong, is a sister ship of the Weiftenre, which is being sent out. to the East Indies to act as flagship in The Triumph, like the those waters. Swiftsure, was built originally for the Cilian Admiralty, and subsequently pur- chased by the British Admiralty in 1903. She was built at Darrow under the name of the Libertad, and carries four 10-inch 506, 147-inch guns (10 in the main deck central battery and four in the upper deck casemates), fourteen 14-pounder Buns, four 6-pounders, two 12-pounders, and four machine guns, and two 18-inch torpedo tubes. The four heavy guns are mounted in pairs in heavily armoured babetes.

When these two battleships were pur- chased, their principal armament, being 10-inch guns, was severely criticised, but the powerful secondary armament was looked upon as almost equalising this defect. At the present time the high speed of the Triumph and the Swiftsure which is nearly 23 knots-make then eligible for the line of battle.
