A DOCTOR'SWAY WITH INDIGESTION
well-known
The wife of a physician became a sufferer from digestive disorder, and, naturally for a remedy. The doctor. made onough she asked her husband her up some medicino of the kind usually given to mild cases, but: it failed, so, without more ado, ho prescribed Bisuratod Magnosia and the results were astonishing, oven to the medical man. From the first dose all trace of discom fort vanished, and the one-time! sufferer could eat anything she fancied with relish and minus any fear of after-effects. More than that, her complexion im proved, wonderfully, together with her general health and, as may bo surmised the doctor is now one of the army of enthu- siastic medical men, who praise Bisurated Magnesia and recom- mend it in cases of stomach trouble. This preparation is read- ily obtainable at any chemist's and any reader who is in need of a real remedy for, indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis sickness ór other such troubles should get a package without delay,

THE PRINCE-IN AFRICA.
Kano, Nigeria, April 18. Despite the long railway journey here, the Prince of Wales" played tennis this evening and after dinner attended an open air dance which was a veritable fairyland, illuminated with myriads" of coloured lights under the star sprinkled African sky. The whole floor was specially converted from wild bush two miles from Kano in a space of six weeks.
Though only 130 white people are resident in Kano, five hundred whites attended the dance, mostly uniformed officials from all parts of the Northern Territory. The guests included twenty-five European ladies, charmingly dressed, nineteen of whom travelled enormous distances. The Prince shook hands with all and danced practically every dance,
Kano, April 19.
Crowds were swarming to Kano all night blowing horns, and displaying sleep-destroying enthusiasm. The scenes, this morning were amazing. Streams of plodding visitors were visible on all the roads for miles, resembling converging armies of ants,
The Emirs had already congregated for the Durbar. Most of thein travelled hundreds of miles accompanied by hosts of retainers, many of whom died from the Intense heat, disease and jungle ac cidents en route.
At the Durbar at 8 o'clock this morning there was a wonderful cavalry display. It was a case of horses everywhere. Twenty- thousand were ranged in horseshoe formation, all flaunting the gayest colours, and with British officers galloping about completing arrangements.
The commotion was hushed upon the arrival of the Prince of Wales, the complete silence being the Hausa token of respect.

THE STAR
Then the band of the Nigerian Regiment crashed into a stirring march, followed by the rolling of hundreds of native drums.
The Prince was seated on a dais covered with a multi coloured canopy captured in fighting seventy years ago. His Royal Highness watched the parade, first the infantry and artillery, the latter carry- ing the gunparts on their heads. Then the Emirs' troopers charged with lances and swords drawn, halting spectacularly two feet from the dais. The cavalry thereafter marched past headed by bands playing ancient instruments, all clad in gorgeous uniforms. The concourse of spectators, whose blood was fired by the continuous roll of exultant drums, cheered tumultuously.
Numerous riders were accoutred in the old-time uniform of Crusaders or in chain mall complete with visor, and added a bizarre touch to the dazzling scene. Outbursts of frenzied cheering rent the air as the dense columns filed past the dais to the accompani ment of deafening drums.
Interspersed between files of cavalry at the walk appeared groups of duncers, wildly gyrating and shouting. They were per
ing and fect types of devil dancers.
Every moment saw something fresh in the never-ending pro- cession-brilliant all red uniforms, golden bows and arrows, five- foot trumpets, plumed helmets and finally a most magnificent body of Bornu Cavalry, with heade befeathered, rode waving cutlasses, and swords, accompanied by a special troop mounted on beautifully caparisoned camels and carrying enormous silk flagi.
The scene was staggering, thousands of superb horsemen standing in their stirrups, shrieking waiving their swords and Bouncing in their saddles. It was truly, an orgy of colour.
The parade closed with gallops past by detachments, a fitting finish to a wondrous demonstration of loyally never seen before and never to be seen again. The spectators were entranced,
A reception to the Emirs followed, the latter squatting in a semi-circle fully fly yards from the Prince to hear his address. The official deterpreter was standing near the Prince, and the latter, remarking that the Emirs were unable to hear, motioned them to approach, whereafter they squatted at the foot of the dals Reuter.
