A Celebrated Violiniste

Nervous Fatigue, Languor-

The power to excel, the confidence which ensures her brilliant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to ber 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 Phosfering, is evident from Miss Keymer's adonission that the topic "enabled me to do myself justice." This power to excel, this ability to make #erfect is of her skill, depends upon the marvellous control and steadiness of the muscle nerves Phosferine has given her, and to which she owes the entrancing tone 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 her public appearances,and it is this happy outcome which impels 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 bot weather. This is of very great importance to me, as frequently only a very little time elapses between reaching my destination and the com- mmencement 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 tone and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic at every opportunity."-July 11, 1912.

CHILD'S EARNEST PHAYER

Little Rupert had been deeply moved by the contemplation of a blind man whom he had met upon his afternoon walk. His mother (suys the Hanchester Guardian) was not at all surprised that he should make some reference to him in his prayers before he went to bed. But even she, well as she knew his peculiar powers, was hardly prepared for the eloquence of his peroration. Could he not be made to see he was heard to ask, and then with growing fervour, “O Lord, give him an eye to ste with give him two eyes.
