Ihave used Ripans Tabules with 20 much salts
eection that I can cheerfully recommend them.
Have been troubled for about three years with
what I called bilious attacks coming on regularly
once O week. Wa told by different physicians
that It was caused by bad teeth. of which I had
several. I had the teeth extracted, but the at
tacks continued. I had seen advertisements OF
Ripans Tabules in all the papers but had no faith
in them, but about six weeks since a friend In
duced me to try them. Have taken but two OF the
small Scent boxes Of the Tabules and have had
mo- recurrence OF tho attacks. Have never given a
testimonial for anything before. but the great
amount of good which I believe has been done me
by Ripans Tabules induces me to add mine 20 the
many testimonials you doubtless have IN your
noaaassion now. II. DIWrTT.

Mr.. Bourke Cochran asked the people

eminent, when Mr.. Bryan was en-
deavOring to excite their fears and
resentment against an imperfectly
visualized trust. The difference be.
tween Mr.. Bryan's attack on trusts
and Mr.. Cockran's reply was that the
former cajOled his audience according
to his habit, first by catch phrases
about what the American people are
entitled to and then attempted to
brighten and anger them by calling
trusts, monOpolies, and their opera
tions 'strangling.' Mr.. Cochran de-

ing q wrong when it becomes wrong.
The question to which l think the at
tention of these conferences should be
directed Is whether this one exists,
and where 1t is.
The difficulty Of preventing free and
independent citizens from forming
partnerships among themselves is the
obstacle to control Of the trusts. In
treating it Mr.. Cochran had the ad-
vantage Of an unassailable premise.
The debate, which became debate
in spite Of Mr.. Bryan's aversion to ad-
vertising the wide gulf which s.per.
