Snuff for Ulcers. Peptic ulcers are erosions of the wall of the stomach or duodenum caused by excessive secretion of pepsin, hydrochloric acid and other powerful digestive juices.

For the past year its staff has watched, with anxious eyes, the state of health of a doddering, 85-year-old retired dentist named Dr. Nathaniel Coulson. To the Cathedral's building fund, pious Dr. Coulson has assigned the income of no less than...
...authority on French music, Edward B. Hill was born in Cambridge in 1872, studied under Paine, Chadwick, and Widor, and is now a professor of music here at Harvard. Since he first wrote his concerto for the violin in 1903 it has been revised, and, like most of his works, is pleasant and traditional in form. It is being played this week end to great advantage by Ruth Posselt, the local girl who has made good...
