It tan always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banka, of Oonnecfacirt, the particulars oi -Xh here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has m this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for.. * ”12 028 00 The dividends amounted to > Paid to the estate .$17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums m cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilise any portion of the divv dends in payment of premiums, hut permitted the Company to invest inese for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,288. Issued March 5,1845. Ammint $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Lite rian. . i: Original insurance in 1845, a rxi Dindend additions paid in Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured u ‘ Realized to estate over premiums paid °° Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a half! (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from fo.vw at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. „ The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result ot his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.

HINTON, Traffic Manager, Savannah, Ga. A Prominent Phyalclan. A prominent New York physician In discussing the merits of Ripans Tabulee with a brother M. D. said: •• Several yean ago I asserted that if one wished to become a philan thopist, and do a beneficent deed one that would help the whole hu man race —nothing could be better than to procure the Roosevelt Hos pital prescription, teMeA ie the baeie of the Rifaeu Tabulee, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketchup and distributed among the poor.” The largest retail drug store ia America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York City. A reporter who went there to learn how Ripans Tab ulea were sellinc bought a five-cent carton and asked: “Do you have much call for these?” He wee referred to a gentleman who proved to be tbo head of the depart ment. Ho Mid: The sale of' Ripaae TaTmles !• constant and is increasing, due especially tothe influential ch aracter of tiietestimonials in the daily press, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with thorn is very general When once they are begun I notice that a perma-mt customer for them la made. This, 1 believe, ia through their intrinsie merit, which proves tbe bona fide character of the advertising.

An elderly lady living at Fordham Heights, a part of New York City, and who was known to be a wArm advocate of Ripans Tabules for any case of liver trouble or indigestion, said toareporte.’ who visited her for the purpose of learning the particu lars of her case: “ I had always employed a physician and did so on toe last occasion I had for one, but at that tone obtained no beneficial results. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Rjpana Tabules reoommendedT very highly in toe New York Herald con cluded to give them a trial, and found they were just what my case demanded. I have never employed a physician since, and that means a wrino- nf *2 A odl , objected to their mother giving a testimonial which should parade her name in the newspapers, out to do this toe elder lady argued: “There may be other cases just like mine, and I am sure I take great pleasure fa rwvwnTnendftig theTabules to any one afflicted as I was. If the telling about my case in the papers enables some other person similarly affected to be as greatly benefited as I have been, I se£no objection.
