A prominent New York physician ffi discussing the merits of Ripans Tabules with a brother M. D. said: ••Several years ago I asserted that If one wished to become a philan tbopist, 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, wbtrA it the basis of tJu Ripans Tabstlts, and cause it to be put up in the farm of a ketchup ana distributed among the poor.” Salos Ineresudng. The largest retail drug store in America <■ that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York City. A reporter who went there to learn how Ripans Tab ules were selling bought a ftve-csnt carton and asked: “Do you have much call for these?” He was referred toagentlemanwho proved to be the head of the depart- ment. He said: •• The sale of Ripans Tabulee is constant and is increasing, due eepeciaUy to the influential character of the testimonials in the daily press, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with them is very general. When once they are begun I notice that a perms- ?nt customer for them is made. This, 1 believe, is through flieir intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide character of tbe adhrnrilsing. I think them specially useful in the general 1 run of stomach troubles. ” MVW»/WWWWWWMM^W>^*»*^V***»^M**M>R****R**********^********** AA injinnnnflM'i. - . - •■r«fr<'»«-«»*««'»'»f***********“********“**“‘“*' An Elderly Lady. 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 to a reporter who visited her for the purpose of learning the particu lars of her case: “ I had always employed a physician and did so on the last occasion I had for one, bat at that time obtained no beneficial results. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Ripans Tabules recommended very highly in the 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 ters who specially objected to their mother givings testimonial which should parade her name in the newspapera, but to do this the elder lady argued : “There may be other cases just like mine, ana I am sure I take great pleasure in recommending the Tabules 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 boon I eee no objection." The daugh- 1 ten, knowing how earnertly she felt; about the benefit she had received,! decided she was quite right. saving of $2 a call.
