Description | Advert for Phosferine tonic medicine 1915 |
Details |
The devastating effects of the constant bombing of shell fire, over the men in the trenches in World War One, even when no actual injury is not seen, resulted in many soldiers and officers having nervous debility, loss of memory, dimness of vision, loss of sense of taste and smell and other physical upsets. 'A remedy for Phosferine is the most perfect tonic which can be employed, and is an eloquent tribute to its power of preventing that deadening of the senses experienced by men in the area of shell fire'.
