After meals lie would feel as if a ball of lead was lodged in his stomach, tired and listless, as though life was scarcely worth living. . Finally he was attracted to the ad of RIPAMS TABULEJ and concluded to try them. After taking the first two or .three he was surprised to find the relief they gave and soon he felt like a new man.
