6IBBS' CELEBRATED PROCESS OF RAPID TAXIDERMY. 



In Practical Use for Over Twenty-five years. 



Used Everywhere in America. Hundreds of Testimonials. Try and be Convinced. 

 Start a class. Money in It.. Be Your Own Taxidermist. 



Naturalists, Collectors, Gunners, Anglers, Outers, Boys, Girls, and all others interested irt 

 nature and anxious to preserve the specimens taken in wood and field, have all felt the need of a 

 simple method of preservation, which is free from intricacies and inexpensive. 



There is a method of rapid taxidermy now in extensive use, which meets the reauirements of 

 all amateurs who wish a practical and Inexpensive method of preserving the trophies of the out- 

 ing and collecting trip. This is not the old system of so-called stuffing, so expensive, laborious 

 and disappointing, but is a rapid system, which any one can learn at once and which is guaran- 

 teed to give satisfaction. 



By this process you may preserve the beautiful plumage of the grouse and woodcock, or the 

 pike's or buck's head, or the showy feathers of the tanager. Boys, girls and all others can do 

 good work and may make money, as mounted heads and birds find a ready sale, and besides yeu 

 may teach your friends and decorate the school-room, ofQce and dining room with native birds 

 and other attractions. If you are in doubt, then get your friends to go in with you and start a 

 class, for when several work together there is an advantage, and the expense is next to nothing. 



On the receipt of $1.00, cash or stamps, I will send full printed instructions for mounting- 

 birds, heads, mammals, etc., and all materials for mounting and preserving specimens— inc lud- 

 ing prepared compound, together with full directions for dressing skins with the holr on for rugs 

 and robes, so that you will not be to the expense of one cent and will send full directions how to- 

 start a class.

RIPANS 



For twenty-five years I had been a 

 sufferer from bronchial troubles 

 accompanied with a hacking cough. 

 I at times suffered from extreme 

 nervous prostration. About four 

 years ago I began taking Ripans 

 Tabules, and since then I have used 

 them pretty constantly. I rarely 

 retire at night without taking my 

 Tabule, and I find they keep my 

 digestive organs (which naturally 

 are weak) in good order, and they 

 also allay my tendency to nervous- 

 ness and make me sleep. 



At druggists. 

 The Five-Cent packet is enough for an 

 ordinary occasion. The family bottle, 60 

 cents, contains a supply for a year.
