am a farmer located near Stony Brook, one Of the most malarious
districts in this State, and was bothered with malaria for years, at times
SO could not work, and was always very constipated as well. For
years had malaria SO bad in the spring, when engaged in blowing,
that could do nothing but shake: must have taken about a barrel
of quinine pills besides dozens of other remedies, but never obtained
any permanent benefit. Last fall, in peach time, had a most serious
attack Of chiAs and then commenced to take Ripans Tabules, upon
been without them since: take one Tabue each morning and night
and sometimes when feel more than usually exhausted take three in.
a day. They have kept my stomach sweet, my bowels regular and /
have not had the least touch of malaria nor splitting headache siinceI
more refreshed than formerly. don't know how many complaints
Ripans Tabules will help, but do know they will cure any one in the
condition was and would not be without them at any price. |
honestly consider them the cheapest-prced medicine in the world, as
they are also the most beneficial and the most convenient to take.
l am twenty-seven years of age and have worked hard all my life, the
same as most farmers, both early and late and in all kinds Of weather,
fact, my %neighbors have all remarked my improved condition and have
said, "Say, John, what are you doing to look so healthy? +"

nira md Insect RACE.

II has been supposed that the swnl-
low is more rapid in its flight than
almost any winged creature, but the
dragonhy easily outwings 1t. An OBJ
server of insect life relates an account
OF a chase between swallow and an
immense dragonhy, in which the con-
test lasted n long time. The swallow
evidently had hopes of catching the
insect, but finally, after a long cam
paign. gave IL up and let the fly os-
cape. IL has been claimed that the
dragonfly was such q voracious devour-
er of mosquitoes that these small pestn
were thrown into n panic II dragon
fly approached them. II was even de-
cIared that n fly confined In room
would speedily clear IL OF mosquitoes,
but repeated experiments failed to sub
stantiate this claim.

The Partisan critic, NJ. Jules Claretie.
narrates an amusing story of the elder
Dumas: At the height of the great
novclists vogue he could not turn out
books fast enough TO satisfy his clam
oring publishers, and IL became neces-
sary for him to employ collaborators,
TO whom he sketched the plot, perhaps
leaving them to do the rest. Among
the most distinguished was M. Pau
Meurice, who is still living and writing
in Paris at an advanced age. Thus il
came about that M. Meurice was the
author Of one of the most amusing nov
els of Dumas, LES Deux DANES"
Dumas when travelling found this novel
in hotel and opened il to pass away
the time. He began reading IL serious
~, got interested In IT., and was
amused. Presently some one came to
his room and found him with lies Deux
