must say I feel so much more fit since, taking Phosferine.. For years I suffered with

Bronchitis, which upset my nerves,

I was unable to sleep, and my whole system was wrong. I often had very bad rheumatic pains in my ankles. After an illness four years ago I was very weak, and was advised to try Phosferine. I found immediate reliel, my nerves were stronger, I could sleep better, and I felt quite a different woman. I would not be without it, as it keeps me well; and I am able to go about my daily duties as cheerful and active as I was ten years ago. I look very well for my age, 83 on June 4th, 1929. It is mostly due to taking your Phesferine, which keeps me in good health, A faw doses of Phosfering whenever I feel the least bit run down, puts me right at once. I want others to know what Phosferine has done for me, and benefit the same as I have done. It is four years since I have visited my doctor. Phoaferine has kept me going ever since Mrs, E. S.
