A Celebrated Violiniste

Nervous Fatigue, Languor-

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29th, 1918,

The power to excel, the confidence which ensures her brilliant successes, says the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her. aindance of vigorous nerve 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 Phosterme, is evident from Miss Keymer's mission that the tonic "enabled me to do myself justice." This power to excel, this ability to make barfect 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 entrancing tone and quality of ber musical renditions. Naturally, this cuergising effect of Phosferine was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listlessness, and fatigue, which were the bane of her publicappearances, and it is this happy outcome which impels Miss Keymer la teslify 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 lot weather. This is of very great importance to pie, as frequently only a very little time clapses between reaching my destination and the con 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 lolinist, preventing any of the unsteadiness of the muscle nervea, which so harmful to tone and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic at every opportunity."—July 11, 1912.

He had dealt last year with the casts of the difficulties of the large cylinder oil engine, and the case remained, as it stood at that time. Dr. Hopkinson's method of internal cooling of the cylinder and valves by injection of water seemed to promise a possible solution, but had not yet been tried on a Diesel engine. Some of the leading makers on the Continent were, however, working on the lines of designing the cylinders, pistons, and valves, in fact all parts subject to trouble from excessive heal, in such a way as to be easily and quickly replaced; but this remedy was only a partial une.

The progress of the internal combustion engine during the past had been some what chequered. The annual report of Lloyd's Register devoted more than two pages to the Diesel engine, and stated That I ships were in commission and 25 building. According to information sup. pod by the secretary of Lloyd's Register the powers were respectively 22,700 and 43,850, making a total of 66,550 b.h.p. classed under Lloyd's. The report was generally optimistic, but it seemed that difficulties experienced with the large cylinder slow revolution Diesel engine had been greater than the report would

GEARING.

Though gearing was not mentioned in the report of Lloyd's Register, yet rapid and considerable progress had been made during the year. Dr. Föttinger stated that the aggregate b.h.p. of his hydraulic gearing ordered within the last 12 months was about 100,000, including one liner of 20,000 h.p., one war vessel of 30,000 h.p.. one cruiser of 15,000 p., and on excursion steamer of 6.000 h.
