'I can say with assurance,' he said, when pressed for some promise of relief, 'that in a month from now prices will have sought their former level, or close to it. and that level will be found soon thereafter. I can make that promise because there will be an influx by that time of the new grass-fed cattle from Texas and with thousands of them on the market, a break is bound to follow.'

On going to supper one evening my boarding mistress recommended my taking RipansTatulea. She told me her experience with them, as well as that of others to whom she hod spoken about the Taboles. I decided to make a trial and since I have been taking them I feel like a new-made man, and have none of my former complaints, taking a mon decided interest in my work and in life in general.
