The Folly of Taking
Digestive Pills
A Warning to Dyspcptics.,

Tho habit of taking digestive pills
after meals makes chronic dySpcptics
of many thousands Of mon and women
because drugs and medicines consist
ing of artificial diEcstants have prac-
ticaliy no, influence upon the excess
sivcly acid condition Of tho stomach
contents. which is the cause Of most
forms OF indigestion and dyspepsia.
1t is not enough to merely lessen the
sensi,iveness of the stomach nerves
and thus give a false sense Of freedom
from pain. If those who are subject
to ind gestion. gas. natulence, beich-
ing, bloating, heartburn. etc. after
eating would get about an ounce OF
pure bisuratcd magneSia from their
druggist and take a teaspoonfuI in a
little water after meals, there would
be in most instances no further neces-
sity for. drugs: medicines, pepsin pills
or artificial diseStantS because hiSu-
rated magnosia instantly ncutralizcs
stomach acidity. swectcns the sour
stomach. stops food fermentation and
thus establishes normal. painless di-
Gcstion by enabling the stomach To do
its work without hindrance.
AS there are various forms Of mag
neSia he sure TO ask the druggist for
Bisura'cd MaGnesia. which is the
form especially prepared for tho cor
rcction of stomach acdity-Ady.

1T doesn't 80 much matter what she
sang last night: except for the beauti-
ful BELL Song. from "l.akme.' IL was
all the familiar music that we are ac-
cuStOmed TO hear from colorature So
Dranrs. What does matter is that she
sang every note of it in the soft. round
and warm voice OF Il great lyric So
Drano singing within her natural and
easy range. Because she sang in Il
manner that was almost supcrhuman
she is even forgiven her version Of
Home, Sweet liome,' which was very
bad-not in voice. Of course. but in
style. There is in memosy a scene In
"Trilby.' In which great Portuguese
baritone tells Biilec that there are two
great voices born in every generations:
it is likely that Galli-Curci is one OF
the two Of this generation.
Added to the credit. particularly of
Mr.. Hageman. is the fact that Nine.
Galli-Curci had not rehearsed one line:
nobody in the organization had even
heard her sing. Wherefore. the per-
formance Of singer and orchestra last
night was triumph of pure musician
ship. Nine. Galli-Curci's little encore
songs were with piano accompaniment.
For adverse criticism of 4 festival
that merits almost unstinted praise. II
must be said that it is hard to imagine
why two coloraturc sopranos were en-
gagged, and on successive nights.
