There was a clergyman in a Long Island village who suf-
fered from dyspepsia TO such an extent that il positively seemed
sometimes as though his doctrine was not sound. 1t was, however,
only a stomach trouble, and had nothing to do with the mind.
Being convinced of this, one of his parishoners, 4 lady, presented
him with a small quantity of Ripans Tabules and the relief he ex-
perienced was such that all the congregation noticed an improve
ment, and now, although his salary is small, this clergyman and
his wife devote a portion of it to keeping the medicine closet
stocked with a suitable supply of Ripans Tabules Doubtless
there are many cases where what has been thought heresy was in
fact nothing more nor less than dyspepsia, and Ripans Tabues cure
dyspepsia. One gives relief.
