Note	"A Lay Preacher Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion— Just a change of opinion was enough to give Mr. W King his present prosperity, for he realized in the nick of time that his way was not curing his brain fag and nervous exhaustion, so he tried this Phosferine way. Mr. King's method was to ignore his despondency and feeling of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigue the lightest effort to work cost him, until, as he steadily got worse, he resolved to drop his own opinion and see that Phosferine could do. The result was so astonishingly beneficial, even after a few doses, that the brain fag and nervous exhaustion ceased entirely, enabling him to so more work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarkable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's public speaking, and so amazingly have his prospects improved since his speedily recovery, that he declares he had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit he derived from Phosferine." "Quite Gone— Never Return. Mr. W. J. King, School House, Trumpington Rd., Forest Gate, London, E., writes:— 'I am writing to add my name to the list of these people who have found Phosferine to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back I was very much rundown through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, have a rest, and at the same time take medicine, so I endeavoured to keep going on without seeking advice, but as I was getting worse I found that policy would not do. Having heard many friends speak about Phosferine, and one in particular offering me some, I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/6 bottle, I began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better I was, even although I had only taken a few doses. I found I could do the same amount of work easier, and at present am able to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. I have a good deal of public speaking and I find an occasional dose of Phosferine is a great benefit.'— May 28, 1912."

Abstract	This is an ad for Phosferine. Phosferine is a tonic that treats a series of physical and mental ailments, including hysteria, headache, mental exhaustion, and sleeplessness. The ad includes a picture of a male preacher in a crowd of people. The crowd look to be interested in what the preacher has to say. The picture is accompanied by a narrative about Mr. W. King, a man who is experiencing brain fag and nervous exhaustion. Mr. King tried Phosferine and after a few doses his brain fag and exhaustion disappeared allowing him to do more work. The energy resulting from Phosferine coupled with effectiveness led Mr.King to publicly speak to its effects. The narrative is accompanied by a testimony from Mr. King attesting to the effectiveness of Phosferine. Both the narrative and testimony emphasize the immediate nature of Phosferine and how it allowed Mr. King to do more work than before. Moreover, the ad lists various uses of Phosferine. Phosferine is also termed "the Royal Tonic," with the ad listing different royal individuals who have used Phosferine. The ad does not make clear which company manufactures Phosferine.
