The well-known prejudice Of physicians aeainst
patent medicines whose formula is a secret ia
too well grounded. The fact that the Ingredients
OF any medicine to be taken internally should be
secret to physicians is of itself sufficiently sus
picious circumstance to bar 1t from their daily
use. Physicians indorse Rpans Tabules be-
cause the manufacturers make no secret of the
formula 1t is composed Of rhubarb. ipecac pep-
permlnt. aloes, nux yomica and soda, six of the
best known remedies in existence
This is an age Of experimenting Everybody in
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with books--steam engines
flying machines electricity-this il all right-it
is progressive Lots of others are experfmentiny
with their healrh-this is not right. 1t leads to
III health-broken down constitution.
When yen have headache-dyspepsia- consti-
pation-biiiousness don't experiment with all the
quack medicines you may hear Of
Find good standard remedy about whose for
mula there Is no secret-a formula that your ply
sician VIII prescribe-a remedy that everybody
USES Such a remedy is Ripans.
1t Is very hard indeed to get regular practicine
physicians to express any but q contrary opinion
regarding ''ready-mad medicine, and the Ripaps
Chemical Co. surprised as well as delighted
to find SO many PHYSICIANS in Boston who were
willing to express opinions regarding the Tabules
Following We print few OF the opinions expressed
by the Boston physicians.
Il think the combination a good one and verv
desirable" DR.. Eliot, Cor. Richmond. and Ham
SITS.
Il shall be pleased to them, believing them
to be a good thing DIR. L. c. Gobron Salem st
Il think they are a good combination especial.
ly the ipecac and nux vomica." Dr. W. Esnstejn
Il shall be pleased to try them, believing the
formula to be very sensible. Often have occa-
sion to prescribe such Ingredients, but differently
combined DR.. Rovinsky, Hanover st.
Il think them very good and very often pre-
scribe similar remey in powders. I never heard
OF tablet Of the same composition" DR.. G. 8.
Cahill, Chamber st.
Il am very much pleased to try them, beliey.
ing them good. have had occasion to use a for.
mula very similar. but not exactly. do not care
what is advertised. II 1t has merit I will back
1t up" DR.. r. X. Moves.
Il am very familiar with such a formula II q
very much more used in New York than in Boston
There is liquid mixture which is used consid.
erably in the Polytechnic Hospital in New York that
is the exact formula, but not convenient to ad-
minister. 1t is a good idea and believe II win
take well with many physicians There IL an
other mixture which is very much the same with
the omission Of the "I' and the addition of gly.
cerine, used very largely in Roosevelt Hospital New
York" DIR. Thompson. Green St
Il could never prescribe an article gotten up IN
that way. II I should prescribe them once my pa
tients would use them at will and when more were
required they would know what to ask for" Dr..
o Shea, Chelsea ST., East Boston.
The above only q few Of the hundreds Of
opinions expressed by Boston physicians regarding
Ripans. Now Is the time to take Ripans more than
at any other time of the year. The blood d clog.
ged up and impure. The bowels and stomach and
the whole machine Of life need clearing out before
the hot weather sets in Ripans Tabules will
accomplish this with less Inconvenience to the
patient and with more safety to his general health
than any other preparation In the market II sells
upon the merit OF Its formula. When you buy
Rpans Tabules you know what you are buying.
