chorus of little, angry voices and, soothing mother noses greeted me as I entered the door of the Tsan Yuk Hospital yesterday morning. It was the Dany Clinic day and the waiting room just in- side the door was gay with the scarlet cloaks of the little patients. The mothers, some young girls, others perhaps grandmothers, come well dressed, others in a huddle of none too clean and shabby padded coats, walked up and down trying to still the complaints of their in. dignant babies.

"Eastern Luck" and Fals Mother.

Then we went upstairs. Through the waiting wards, the labour wards and the lying in wards. At the foot of each bed in the two latter is a tiny wooden bed more. like a railed box on high legs than any European cradle. In one of these lay little Eastern Luck' placidly asleep with his round cap of striped flannelette over his eyes. He had only passed three days in this world, and he looked well pleased with it. The wards as in deed is the whole hospital-were spotlessly clean and pleasant, and most of the patients asleep when wo made our round. For 20 cents a

day a woman can have her baby in the Hospital including food, medical attentio, and medicines. They have to stay one week and can if they with stay longer. There are also private wards where the charge is 89 to $3 per day, while very poor patients are admitted free,

CAN INDIGESTION BE CURED

P

THERE is no doubt that indigestion and

allied stomach troubles can not only be instantly relieved but permanently banished if the right treatment is used. Most digos- tive disorders are due to harmful acid in the stomach, and this is instantly neutral- ised by taking 'Bisurated' Magnesia, which thus drives out fermentation, gas, and pain. This unfailing remedy for indigestion, gas- tritis and dyspeptic troubles, is recommen ded by doctors, hospitals and public alike, and costs but little. When buying look for the oval Bismag trade mark, on the carton, it denotes the one sure and speedys indigestion remedy.
