THE OOLOGISl 



GIBBS' 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 ihis 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 you 

 may teach your friends and decorate the school-room, ofBce 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— includ- 

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

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

 start a class.

IPANS 



I have experiepced a wonderful 

 result in using Ripan Tabules. I 

 was seriously affected with indiges- 

 tion and heartburn. A friend sug- 

 gested trying Ripans, and I was sur- 

 prised at the improvement. On 

 making application a few years ago 

 for policy of insurance I was refused 

 on account of a weak heart, but the 

 same company passed me recently, 

 and I give Ripags Tabules credit for 

 the health 1 am enjoying. I can 

 certainly recommend them to any 

 one suffering with palpitation of the 

 heart or indegestion. 



At druggists. 

 The Five-Cent packet is enough for an 

 ordinary occasion. The family bottle, 60 

 cents, contains a supply for a year.
