HERB
EXTRACT

"Miller'S Herb Extract forrn-
erly called Herb juice Is one
medicine that cannot be praised
too highly. Thanks to it, my
father is now in the best of
health and says he feels as we'll
as when he was Is, which is
saying a lot as he is now past
u. For months before he used
this medicine he suffered a great
deal with his stomach and often
he was unable to retain any
food at all. Everything he ate
would sour and come back up.
He complained of pains in the
chest, also the back and said his
stomach always felt sore and Swol-
len. He was continually taking
medicine Of some kind, had a
great deal of trouble with his
bowels and complained of sick
dizzy feelings. Some thought he
had high blood pressure, but
medicines he used helped very
little if any at all. Sometime ago
he was advised to try this remedy
and to make long story short,
I never saw any one thing help
a person so much in such a short
time; seemed as though the first
few doses eaSed the stomach
pains and made him feel better
and the continued use Of it has
given him complete relief. When
see him eat and enjoy q good
meal without any trouble from
his stomach I can hardly realize
that only short time ago he
was unable at times to keep a
soft boiled egg on his stomach.
He no longer complains of those
sick, dizzy feelings and says this
is the best medicine he ever
used for constipation and a gen.
eral system cleanser. know no
other medicine ever helped him
like this one and feel that every
one should know that it is one
remedy that brings relief where
others fail. See the special rep

HERBERT GEM
IS REVIVED
AT POLLS

Melodies which entranced an
older generation were revived
at Polls last night in the Jol-
son 'Theater Musical Comedy
Company's presentation Of the
Victor Herbert-Harry Smith
opera, 1.-THE Fortune Teller"
The passage Of time has not
abated one whit of it's charm
and its humor is Just as divert
ing as its music Is appealing.
Such classics as Gypsy Love
Song" Always Do AS People
Say You Should" only in the
Play" and THE Lily and the
Nightingale" once more held
the audience under the power
Of their fascination.
Eleanor Painter, whose an.
pearanceS here Of recent years
have been all too infreQusnt,
appears in the stellar role, or
rather, roles, since she is not
only called upon to portray
Irma, the pretty ballet dancer,
but MuSette, the fortune teller,
as well, and finally an imper
Sonation Of Irma's brother,
Lieutenant Feodor, of the Hun
garian forces. Her bird-like
voice and effervescent vivacity
formed a most happy combina-
ton. Opposite her WAS Eric
Titus, cast as LadislaS. to whom
the opera Is not especially kind
in that it gives him but one
solo. the Chorus of HuSGard,"
and Philip Conyers as the
gypsy, Sander, whose splendid
bass was heard in both the
famous Love Song" and ''Ho,
Ye Townsmen!"
OF comedy there is much and
William Powers. William j. Nc
earthly and Harry Hermson
formed most happy trium-
virate. Their Topical Trio"
was encored until even ill the
verses were exhausted and still
the audience called for more
Sara Bair as Pompom, the pep
perry prima donna, was in most
excellent voice.
The production was staged by
Milton Aborn, whose name has
not only been identified with
these JolSon Theater revivalS,
but for many years with preten-
tious productions of Victor Her
bert as well as Reginald De-
Koven, Gilbert and Sullivan
and other comic operas. The
three acts are we'll set. the
large chorus is we'll trained
and the costumes attractive.
