is that eveiy man In ought

leadeis were foiemost In uiglng tho

If we assume It to be tiue that the

believed bv many, was to hnve been

to do with to-awakening fait -minded

Mr. Wilson: I knew an Ohio fanner named Enochs. lie
was about fifty years old and was bothered for years with home
trouble the doctors didn't understand. He told mc the story
himself, "I kept getting weaker," said he, "and fairly got so
weak my food done me no good, what little I did eat, and I
went from 135 pounds down to 98." It was the druggist who
suggested that lie try Ripans Tabulcs, and he says that he had
not used a dozen of them before he felt much better, and after
a month he was cured sound and well, and in less than a year
weighed 150 pounds. For a long time he had a b.v.1 color, but
to-day his complexion is as good as mine.
