Mr.. Bert VI. Moses, the adver-

he recently had occasion to consult
DR.. J. s. Carreau, a well-known
physician of IS West Twenty first
street. New York city. for a stomach
trouble which was pronounced a
type of dyspepsia. After cOnsulta-
ton, writes Mr.. Moses, the doctor
gave me prescription. and | was
somewhat surprised TO note that
the formula WAS nearly identical
with that of Ripans Tabule.S, for
which l had, on more than one
occasion. prepared advertising

scriptiOn filled, and it proved
satisfactory, giving quick relief A
week later, when | had taken all
the medicine. l again called on the
doctor and mentioned the SINH
larity of his prescription and the
proprietary remedy spoken of,
showing him both the remedy itself
and the formula. The doctor was
at first somewhat inclined to crit
icise what he called patent
medicines, but appeared TO be
surprised when he noted TO what
extent his own prescription
conformed to tie formula l showed
him. 1t was practically the same.
After short time devoted TO noting
the careful manner in which the
proprietary medicine was prepared,
he wound up by prescribing it for
my case. OF course | had 10 pay
him for telling me 20 do this, but
it was worth the cost 10 have such
high professional assurance that
the advertised article was, in fact,
the scientific formula that it
purpOrted TO be. l might have taken

beginning and saved the doctors
