The hall was crowded to tho doors, and the audvsnee, mainly formed of those personally interested in the players, was very enthusiastic. On the programme wore quartettes given by the elder and younger pupils, duets for two pianos as well as solos. The programme was an ambitious one, and the performers did credit to their teaching. Aliss Agnes Segricf, L.A.8., A.T.C.L., sang a serenade of Gounod’s, during the evening, and on being encored gave,/‘‘Songs Aly Alother! Taught iho.” Another item not piano-J forte music was a violin solo by Miss 1 K, Speed, ‘‘Souvenir” (Drdla), which’ was well received.

AOID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS

COMMON-SENSE ADVICE BY A DISTINGUISHED SPECIALIST.

“Acid” stomachs are dangerous because acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hindering and preventing the proper action of the stomach, and leading to nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Medicines and medicinal treatments are useless in such cases, for they leave tbs source of the trouble, the acid m the stomach, as dangerous as over. The acid must be neutralised, and its formation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is half a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralises the acid, but also prevents the fermentation from which acidity is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause greatest distress can be eaten with impunity if the meal is followed with a little bisurated magnesia, which can bo obtained of any chemist, and should always be kept handy. * ]
