Neuralgia,

Nervous Breakdown

NURSE HALL, c/o Mrs. Bassett, Commercial Place, ferind Landport, Portsmouth, Eng., writes:-''I was suffering from nervous breakdown with Internał Neuralgia, when I began a course of Phosferine. After having taken it for three or four months, I felt better than had done for two years previously, and consider it the best tonic I have ever tried. As a remedy for all nervous disorders I think there is nothing to equal Phosferice, especially as I was given up by 1

more than one doctor previous to taking Phosferine, and can now say I am perfectly well and strong, and have taken nothing else.

No other medicine" has received absolure proof of it extraordinary properties in restoring Shauered Constitutions, and in giving back to the i prematurely aged New Life and Energy,

FASHIONS AND FANCIES.

THE DUSTLE

There is no doubt about it, The bustle is here. But with a difference. When it wae called (ironically) dress improver, it was under the skirts, invisible, and made of steel and canvas. Now it is vory vidible indeed, and consists of drapery bunched out immediately below the waist Its predecessor confined itself to the back of the wearer, but the bustle of the moment invades the sides. Fortunately, the fullness in front, so much the fashion three months ago, has disappeared Many things How serve the turn of the bustle, a scarf, a couple of breadths of the material of the gown, a huge bow hung on round one shoulder, a deep lace Bonnée so manipulated on an evening gown as 15 for two much gathereil or pleated frills a foot or so in-depth. This xaggerated mode is not likely to last long, though it may be continted by those who find in it something to admire.

Where was the Gentleman Ranker with the gage! Questioning eyes proved the gallant stretch of the Ladies Mile. It Over the rails was significantly empty, leaned one young man, spruce and spatted. He swung a gold-headed cane, sturing vacantly into space. Evidently he was not the G.R., but a product of a different age-just a Nut and no more.
