A prominent New York phvsician in discussing the merits of Itipans Tabules with a brother M. D. said : •■Several years 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, whith it tht basil cf tht Ripam Tabultt, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketchup ami distributed among the poor. ’ Bal.. Inereaalnc. The largest retail drug store in America is 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 flve-cant carton and asked: “Do yop have much call for Uiese?” He was referred to a gentleman who proved to be the head of the depart- ment. He said: •• The sale of Ripans Tabulee is constant and is increasing, due especially 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 perm a* ?nt customer for them is made. This, 1 believe, is through their intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide character of the advertising. I think them specially useful in the general run of stomach troubles.” AJFHJKSF The Greatest Ever Known. THE NIUTUIL LIFE INSURANCE GO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Batiks was insured forss,ooo 00 The dividends amounted t 012,028.00 Paid to the estatesl7,o2B.oo How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5, 1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1545, $5,000.

I’he dividend additions paid to the estate were 13'.'pt'r 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.

An elderly lady living at Fordham i 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 o r 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, but at that time obtained no beneficial i results. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Ripans Tabules recommended very highly in the New York Herald con eluded to give them a trial, and found thev were just what my case demanded. I have never employed a physician since, and that means a rx odll jg ggy My hFGW *t>i urfr tens wno specially objected to their mother giving a testimonial which should parade her name in the newspapers, but to do this the elder lady argued : ‘‘ There may be other cases just like mine, and I am sure I take great pleasure { in recommending 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 see no objection." The daugh ters, knowing how earnestly she felt about the benefit she had received, decided she was quite right. saving of $2 a call. A dollar’s worth of Ripans Tabules lasts me a month, and I would not be without them now if it were my last dollar.” At the time of this inter view there were present two daugh ’orhn Mrwx'.iallv LAND POOR. A Scheme to Give Every Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. Mb. Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say, in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to rnaiket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale,on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion of one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold. S. 13.
