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 consdpated 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 chlls and then commenced to take Ripans Tabules. upon a
friends advice, and the first box made me all right and have never
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 since
commenced using them. know also that sleep better and wake up
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-priced medicine in the world, as
they are also the most beneficial and the most convenient to take.
