 Following an evening with my friend the sculptor Foulard, I put in an appearance at the studio the next morning not long after nine o'clock. The night before Foulard had told me of remarkable dream. He had been commissioned some time before, 1t seemed, to carve the figure of wom- an listening. The statue was to go In the hall of great musician. Be- lore attempting anything in marble he decided to work out his idea in some softer material. and consequently had a huge block of chalk brought to the work room. Foulard's dream of which he had told me previous to my matu- tlnal visit was that he had seen vivid Iy In a dream the features of the stat ue he was about to carve.

A Startling Statement

New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.
( The post mortem statistics Of the big
New York hospitals show that some
cases of consumption are due to un-
checked dyspepsia, especially when the
victim was predisposed to tubeIcu-
losis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened irritable stom-
achs is unable to digest food, the body
4 does not receive the required nour-
tshment, constipation ensues and the
victim becomes thin, weak and hag-
gard. As result, the body becomes
q fertile field for the germs of disc ase
to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered Is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment OF one of the most insidious
and fatal diseases known to- man
kind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated. The Mcbride & Will Drug
Company sell a remedy which they
positively 3 guarantee will cure ir.di-
gestion or dyspepsia or they will pay
for all the medicine used during the
trial. This remedy is an absolutely
new medical discovery and has been
named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Ger
tainly no offer could be more fair, and
the offer of the Mcbride & Will Drug
Company is proof positive that Re:sall
Dyspepsia Tablets are q dependable
and infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the
medicine will cost you nothing if it
does not benefit you we urgefyou who
are suffering with indigestion or dys-
pepsia. to try this remedy. A 25-cent
box Of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets con-
tains enough medicine for fifteen days
treatment. Remember Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are only sold in Marshalltown
by the Mcbride & Will, Drug Gem
pany, corner Main and Center, and 331
South Third avenue.

CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA

The hurried boiling of imperfectly
chewed food is now known to be the
primary cause of the chronic and ag-
gravated form Of indigestion known as
dyspepsia.
Specialists say that there'is one re-
liable way to treat indigestion and dys-
pepsia-eat slowly, shun rich foods, and
take neutralizing elixir or cordial to
correct acidity and aid nature in get
ting rid of such infectious germs as
the food may contain.
A good neutralizing elixir may be
made up at home as follows: Get from
your druggist V ounce Of sodium
phosphate and l ounce essence of seal
mint. Mix this thoroughly in a half
pint bottle with " teaspoonful baking
soda, adding pure water to fill the bottle.
Take two teaspoonfus before each meal.
It is claimed by those who have tried
it that this simple mixture will stop
fermentation at once and give quick
relief from gas.
