A strange fact about Indigestion
with which comparatively few people

pure Bi-nesia powder form) in lit
tie hot water Immediately after eating
or whenever pain is felt. Pure Bi-nesia
is obtainable of druggists everywhere
and if everyone would adopt this sim

Old Story plsproyed.

Most persons know the story told
oil Cleopatra, to Illustrate her luxurious
habits of living, that she dissolved N
her wine a precious pearl. No one
seems yet to have questioned what
must have been the effect upon the
drink, but scientists scoff at the pos
sibility Of such solution. The fact Is
pearls are not soluble In wine. The
most powerful vinegar affects them
slowly and never entirely dlssolves
them, for the organic matter remains
behind in the shape Of a spongy mass
that Is larger than the original pearl.
