An elderly lady livingut Fordham
Tleiglits, a j«art of New York City,
and who was known to Ih a warm
advocate of liipans Tabules for any
case of liver trouble or indigestion,
said to a reporter who visited her for
the purpose of learning the particu-
lars of her CAS": " f bnd always

saving of a call.
A dollar's worth of
Kipans Tabules
lasts me a month,
and i would not bo

if it were my last
dollar." At the
time of this inter-
view there were
present twodaugh
ters who specially
objected to their mother giving a
testimonial w hich should parade her
name in the newspapers, but to do
this the elder lady argued : 'There
