Brown, 1010 F St. | J Ripans Tabules. W. C. Lloyd, a workingman, living at No. 66 White ave., in the 18th Ward, Cleveland, O., first bought Ripans ‘Tabules of Benfield, the druggist. In an interview had with him on the Sth of May, 1895, by a reporter named A. B. Calhoun, residing at 1747 East Madison ave., Cleveland, Mr. Lloyd sald that he Was at present ‘out of a job, but expected to go to work next week at the Bridge Works. ‘‘Anyway, I have the promise Of a Job there,” Were his words, He had been out of employment since last fall. We will let him tell bis story in his own words: “Work was a little slack, and I was feeling so bad that I concluded to lay off for'a few days, and when I returnéd my place was filled, so I've beea out ever since. I don’t care much, though. I've been gaining right along by my rest and treatment. Last fall I went to a doctor who was recommended to me as @ one and witk quite a reputation. He gave me medicines of all kinds for nearly six weeks, and I got no benefit that I could see. in fact, I don’t believe he knows what is the matter with me. A friend of mine called one evening and told me he had been using Ripans ules for a short time and had never found anything that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they did. He handed me a circular about them, which A read, and concluded that they were just what I needed and would fit my case exactly. I di Dr. ——— at once, went over to the drug store and got a 0-cent box of them, out of whic took two a day for awhile, and within three days noticed and felt much improvement. That was about the middle of December. Last February I got another sal box of the Tabules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so much better that T didn’t think T needed any more. The rest of the box I gave to John C_—— the other day. If 1 had heard of them at the time I stopped work I could have saved my doctor bill, and, better than all, robably kept right on with my work. ut I do not begrudge the time lost nor the doctor bill, as I feel I am well id for having learned of the Tabules. Fohow feel no pain whatever in my. Stomach, liver and bowels active and regular, ‘and eat like a well man should eat.” Ripans Tabules are sold by druggists, or by mail if the price (50 cents s box) is sent {0 The Rupans Chemical Company, No. 10 Spruce st., New Xork.
