MALAYAN CHAMPIONSHIP WON

with the help of

PHOSFERINE

CHAMPION

001 LEONG TEIK writes:-

Tis with the greatest pleasure that * with to testify to the benefits I have received by taking Phosferine dur- ing my training for the 1931 Malayan Weight-Lifting Championships.

As I had to reduce some seven or eight pounds off my normal bodyweight in order to enable me to compete in the -stone class, had to go into very atrenuous training, and with the help of Phosferine, I not only won the cham- plonship of that class, but also the In- dividuni Championship, and, in addition

I broke a British Record.

I therefore have no hesitation in re-

commending Phosferine to any physical culturist or athlete, whether he be in ordinary training or preparing for a competition, as it GIVES ENERGY and ENDURANCE and

RENEWS BROKEN-DOWN_TISSUE." Ooi Leong Teik, Penang.
