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 her abundance of vigorous name 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 Keymer's admission that the tonic "enabled me to do myself justici.”. This fewer to excel, this ability to make perfect use of her skill, depends upon the marvellous control and steadimiss 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 happyoutcome 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 fud 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 ine, as frequently only a very little time clapses 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 tone and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic af every opportunity.”—July 11, 1912.

Not a little of the credit for the position in which the Company now finds itself is undoubtedly due to the indomitable energy of its regerable chairman, Sir Thomas Sutherland. For 33 years he has been chairman and for 41 managing director. For 13 years he was sole managing director. His leterminación and independence have compelled admira- tion, but no surprise was expressed last year when it was announced that desired to be relieved to a certain extent from the everyday routine of administre tive work, and two gentlemen who had Flong occupied important positions-ments have failed. *

1. M. Shields and Mr. F. Ritchie-were elected to the board with a view to their being appointed as managing directors. It would be idle to deny that, while the success which has attended the manage ment has been well recognized, the Com- pany's attitude towards its clients has sometimes been freely criticized. Possibly the Company has not always kept abreast of the changing conditions on which business is transacted, but it is believed that now, at anyrate, there is a strong desire to fall into line with the methada adopted by other, smaller but successful: undertakings. Even the P. & must recognize that keen competition cannot be ignored.

PRESEKT TROUBLES,

The existence of this competition, coupled with the undoubted financial strength of the Company, increases the surprise that the differences between the Company and its officers should not have. boon settled amicably and privately. The position of the line entitles it to expect that its officers are at least the equal of any in the Mercantile alarine, and similarly the passengers should be con- fident that the conditions of service and rates of pay are at least the equal of any obtained in other lines. There is a suggestion that the latter ideal is not fulfilled, and, if so, the sooner the matter
