A Celebrated Violiniste

Nervous Fatigue, Languor

The power to excel, the confidence, which ensures her brilliant successes, says the talented violinist, Aliss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous nere ferre created by Phosferine. How greatly the pumerous distinctions and triumphant career of this, accomplished musickes are promoted by the beam energy and fliysical stanzin developed by Phosferie, is evident from Miss Keymer's admission that the tonic unabled me to do mysraf justice."... "This power to excel, this ability to make Beefret we of her skill, depends upon the navellous control and steadiness of the muscle serres Phiferine das given her, and to which the owes the entrancing tone and quailty of her musical renditions. Naturally, this energising effect of Phosteripe was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listiernes, and fatigue, which were the bare of her public appearances, and it is this happyoutcome whichimpels Miss Keymer to testify to the exceptional advantages to be derived from Phosferine.

Promptly Remedied.

Miss Sybil Keymer," Riversmere," Albany Rd., Leighton Buzzard, Eng., writes: "I think I should inform you that I have recently derived very great benefit from the use of Phosferine, In the course of my profession I have to travel a good deal in getting to my various concerts, and I find that since using Phosferine I am never troubled with the headaches and listlessness which follow a long railway journey, particularly during hot weather. This is of very great importance to me, as frequently fly a very little time elapses between reaching my destination and the com. mencement of a concert, and it is such a relief to feel fresh and ready for playing in public undisturbed by the fatigues of long travelling, It is because I feel that Phosferine enables me to do myself justice as a violinist, preventing any of the unsteadiness of the muscle nerves, which. is so harmful to lone and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic at very opportunity."-July 11, 1912.
