A Celebrated Violiniste⠀⠀

SURR 409

Nervous Fatigue, Languor-

The power to excel, the confidence which ensures her bellllant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous serve force created by Phosferine. How greatly the numerous distinctions and triumphant career of this accomplished musician are promoted by the brain energy and physical stamina developed by Phosferine, is evident from Miss Keyiner's admission that the tonic "enabled me to do myself justice." This power to excel, this ability to make bufect use of her skill, depends upon the marvellous control and steadiness of the muscle nerves Phosferine has given her, and to which she owes the eatraucing ton and quality of her musical renditions. Naturally, this energising effect of Phosferine was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listlessness, and fatigue, which were the bane of ber public appearances and it is this happyoutcome which impels Miss Keymer to testify to the exceptional advantages to be derived from Phosferine.

Fromptly 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 only 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 unsteadincts of the muscle nerves, which is so harmful to tone and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic a every opportunity."-July 11, 1912.

Life under water usturally differs much from that on land, and Dr. Francis Ward has been led to the conclusion that the reflection of light plays a very important part, as it makes many objects invisible from below. In his studies of the problem at Port Erin, Isle of Man, he has various devices and apparatus." He has con- structed two kinds of observing station under the side of a pond, one using a perpendicular sheet of ginss to shut out the water and the other a sheet inclined at on augle of 48deg., and neither chaniker receives any light except through the water. In these under water stations, the observer can see without being seen, while there are no reflections to interfere with photographing through the glass. LITTLE STORIES OF THE DAY.
