MISS BERTHA G RICH ~nDSON Writes ._" I had
been Bu/fermg from Chrome Neuralglll for a fortni~ht 8.Dd
could get no rcst at mght I tucd all kmds of thlDgS.W
get ease, but WIth no result I then got 1\ tubo of
Phosferme Tablets, and when I had taken 6 tablets,
I was completely cured, and I felt hfe was worth hVlng
once more I felt so cheerful and elated that It 1\as hard
to reahse that only a few hours before takmg the tsblets
I hlld been lU agomes of pam I should have' se.ved
myself much sufi'ermg If I had tl\ken them before,"
7, St Th.omas Street, Scarborough.

This grateful young laqy declares that the defini~e
and immediate relief she derived from Pho.ferine II
most convincing proof of its supreme re-vit.liIlDr
Phoaferine .0 effectively promoted
propertIes.
the accumulation of nerve force that even ju.t .1!
