The Physicians of America

are the most trusted class of pro-
fessional men in the world. The
physician of a family is looked upon
as its best friend. His advice is even
sought in matters pertaining to other
than medical things, but he is espe-
cially entrusted with the duty of see
ing that the family is healthy and the
children are properly nurtured.
American physicians are, as a class,
very conservative in putting the
stamp of their approval upon any
Medicine which comes under the
head known as ready-made or patent
preparations. The great response
bility which rests upon their Shout
ders leads them to investigate very
carefully every remedy they admin
lister, to see that it is perfectly HARM
less and will accomplish the desired
results, and they cannot be too care
full in this respect. The fact that the
leading physicians of America have
carefully examined the formula of
Ripans Tabules and have pronounc-
ed them the best remedy for indiges-
ton, constipation, headache, dizzi-
ness and other ailments of the stom-
ach and bowels that could possibly
be prescribed is the best argument in
the world for their use. The formula
of Ripans Tabules is public to ALL
1t is good enough to show up before
the light of public criticism or COM
mendation, and the immense sale of
these Tabules and the great good
they are doing shows that it has been
PUBLIC CONTEMPLATION"
We have many testimonials from the
leading physicians of America, which
are especially valuable and interest
ing because they are written by men
who ''live in medicine"
II am indeed very much pleased
with my experience with Ripans
Tabules. I have a customer in Port
land, Me-, to whom I gave small
vial to try. This customer had two
physicians steadily for a long time,
treating his wife for dyspepsia, and
the Tabules were the only things
that did any good" DR.. Dam, Co.

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
Subscriptions to Asbury Memorial
Hnll-Relics From Detroit.

SUBSCRIPTIONS ASDury Memorial
Hnl-Relics From Detroit.
Registrar Osborn, in charge of the office
of the American University in this city dur
ing the absence of the chancellor. Bishop
Hurst, and of the vice chancellor DR.. S. L.
Beiler, received some very gratifying news
from Bishop Hurst this week. The bishop
during last week and the week before pre-
sided at two conferences Of the Methodist
Church in the state Of Michigan. The
Michigan conference has subscribed $1,000
to the fund for the Asbury Memorial Hall,
and the Detroit conference 5000 for tine
same purpose Bishop Hurst is in northern
Ohio this week. and is expected back to
Washington next week. AS soon as he re-
turns some conferences will be held by the
trustees looking to the work to be done at
the coming meeting of the board, which is
to be held the 18th Of October. Quite a
number of architects are preparing plans
for the university buildings, to be submitted
in competition. The building committee
will also get together few days before
the general board meeting, for the purpose
of considering their report on the designs
submitted, and also on the kind of st6he to
be used. Vice Chancellor Beiler Is travelling
through the west with the same object in
view as that Of the bishop, but no word has
been received in this city as to how sue
cessful his labors have been.
In addition to the gifts of money received
lioM Tie hAcHiSdH MetnOulSIS, several Other
articles have been received from the De
troit conference this week Of much interest
to the friends Of Methodsm. Rev. John
Wright has presented a copy of the original
edition of Buffers Analogy" printed in
1736; the Rev. D. G. Challis has given an
ancient coin from the city Of Thyatira. An
oblong piece Of time-colored parchment
three inches by four, with a red seal of
wax in the corner. is the donation of Mrs.
Ware, and Is the ordination certificate of
her maternal grandfather. given by Bishop
Francis Asbury in 1910. Another relic is
from tie Rev. E. j. Bate, and is the
original proof sheets Of Wesley's Notes on
the New Testament" with the corrections
In his own handwriting. Probably that
which possesses the greatest interest for
people Is an old-fashioned latch taken from
the vestry door of the Methodist Chapel
at Bristol. the first ever built in England
Wesley used to preach in the chapel, and
slept many night within it's walls. The
| latch was bought for the university by the
ministers Of the conference from a widow
who wished to give something to a mission
chapel in Detroit in which she is interested
but who was compelled to sell the relic as
a means Of raising the needed amount
These articles belonging to and associated
with the founders Of Methodism, both in
this country and in England, will be do
posted within the walls of the American
University as soon as a proper place can
be secured.

a success.

Making a Magazine.

The mysteries and marvels of the mod
ern magazine were explained in an inter-
esting manner to an appreciative audience
at the National Rifles armory last night
by M. Eugene NJ Camp. Mr.. Camp, who
has been associated with Harper Brothers
for long time. is eminently well fitted to
tell the story of how magazine is made,
and he did so last night in most excellent
style. There was nothing tiresome about
the intricate detail with which he explained
the intellectual and mechanical methods
that are combined to make great periodi-
cal publication. The lecture, which was
beautifully illustrated with stereopticon
views, was preceded by an introduction by
Gen. A. W. Greedy and an exhibition of
specimen manuscripts of well-known au-
thors and original drawings by famous il

Richard Dorsey, colored cart driver, was
before Judge Kimball this morning charged
with cruelty to animals. He was caugn.
out near Lincoln Park yesterday, and the

Dorsey insisted that the mule did not be-
long to him, but to another man, named
James Griggs. who hired him as a driver.
