Neuralgia,

Nervous Breakdown-

NURSE HALL, c/o Mrs. Bassett, Commercial Place, Landport, Portsmouth, Eng., writes: "I was suffering from nervous breakdown with Internal Neuralgia, when I began a course of Phosferine. After having taken it for three or four months, I felt better than I 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 Phosferine, especially as I was given up by 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 such absolute proof of is extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered Consututions, and in giving back to the prematurely aged New Life and Energy,

TWENTY YEARS OF CRICKET.

OUR BEST BOWLERS

With regard to bowling one may fairly claim that Barnes has never had a superior and very, very few equala. He in the best bowler on all wickets I have met in my career, having every good quality, spin, a break both ways, Bight, and accuracy of length. Moreover, he brings the ball down from a great height. There is no Lockwood or Richardson just now, and the former on his day was the greatest fast bowler of my tire, and, probably, of any time. He had a very quick break back, made the bell get up gastily, and could send down a very well disguised slow bail.

** Richardson was far more consistent than Lockwood, and many wonderful fests stand to his credit. He was a greater howler day in and day out than Lockwood, being infinitely more consistent, but be did not have that puzzling slow ball in his armoury. He was a time figure of a mag, and his break back was terrific, and fow men have bowled a better yorker. Fast bowling bas its chief representative

Many people maintain that thoro is no left-handed bowler so good as Peel or Rhodes were, but my awn opinion is that Blythe is as great a bowler as either of the famous Yorkshiremen He is a master of flight, and has a great know- ledge of the game, and how to bowl to various styles of players. On a sticky wicket he is extraordinarily difficult,

I can recollect the ball which bowled me oven now. It turned from the off on a slow wicket and I played forward only to hear the fatal crash. To-day I would never dream of playing forward to a similar ball, and believe I could play it back carily but I may be throwing bouquets at myself, as the Americans Buy

W, G'S RECRD.

Among medium to fast medium bowlers Booth ranks very high. I consider him a most able bowler. Slower than Booth is Albert Relf, with his immoderate length and swerve both ways. DW Corr and J. W. Hearne represent the English googlie school, and on his day and in his hour I believe the latter to be our greatest exponent of this particular style. He spins the ball tremendously, and comes off the pitch at an amazing pace. B. J. T. Busanquet was, as all the world knows, the inventor of the off-breaking leg-break," und he taught it to RB. Schwarz, who taught it to the South Africans, who, in A. E Vogler and G. A. Faulkner, produced the two best googlie bowlers the world has yet seen, though H. V. Hordern, the Australian, is a close rival. “
