R-B-P-A-N 



A practical journalist, long a member of the staff of the Washing- 

 ton Evening Star, resigned his position to go to Guatemala. Before 

 he left Washington-he had been a firm believer in the medicinal quali- 

 ties of Ripans Tabules, and took a lot of them with him to Guatemala, 

 where he earned the friendship of the captain of the steamer, which 

 sails from San Francisco and stops at ports in Central America, by 

 making known to him the marvelous virtues of R-I-P-A-X-S, the 

 medical wonder of the century. He often dilates upon the captain's 

 enthusiasm about the Tabules and asserts that the people of the tropics 

 suffer terribly from indigestion, and that the Tabules are now known 

 most favorably throughotit Central America. Ripans Tabules quiet 

 the nerves, compose the mind, allay irritation, and invite repose. One 

 gives relief.
