A New York company of manufacturing chemists, the Klpans Chemical Com
pany, placed upon the market about Ave years ago, a medicinal tablet or "tabule."
composed of compres ed powdered preparations of certain medicinal drugs which
had been ascertained to be of more general use among medical men than any other
for the cure or alleviation of such .Us common to man as have their origin In an Im
paired digestlonor weakened capacity for assimilating food, absorbing' nourishment
and eliminating waste. The catalogue of Ills Included under this head is said to in
clude pretty nearly every disease for which the physician is called upon to pre
scribe. In preparing their standard remedy for the acceptance of the American
people the company laid down the principle that everything entering into the packet
should be of the highest grade, and so prepared and protected as to retain Its quali
ties intact and unimpaired through any extended lapse of time in any climate. Only
the choicest drugs should be used, their preparation lacked In glass, protected by
absorbent cotton, and securely corked. Even the corks used have been of a grade so
high In its requirements that no manufacturer of these every-day stoppers could
supply more than a small proportion from his output that would meet the exacted
specifications. The gloss viols were in turn packed in boxes of a quality not sur
passed In beauty and perfection of workmansa'p by these used by fhe most fastidi
ous dealers in jewels and ornaments of gold. Having set their high standard, and
never consenting to Tory from it. the proprietors resorted to the accepted modern
methods of making their commodity known, and seven hundred thousand dollars
invested within Uvo years la newspaper advertising has Informed every American
citizen concerning the superior and surprising qualities of Klpans Tabules.
Being thoughtful and painstaking observers of the changed conditions that
sweep over the commercial world, and careful to note every circumstance having a
bearing upon the successful prosecution of their trade, the managers of the com
pany have noted that there is a present insistent demand for a lower price of every
article that reaches or approaches an universal use. and that the people, although
requiring the best of everything, resent being called upon to pay heavy percentage
for superfluous wrapping and packing or unnecessary protection against deteriora
tion that might result In years, but Is needless in the case of a purchase intended to
bo consumed in a week. It has also been discovered and proved by the test of time
and actual experience, that these Tabules do not have the tendency to loss of quali
ties or diminution of excellence from exposure that might at first have been ex
pected. Inasmuch as, under favorable conditions, those that have lain loose In a
drawar, a travelling bag or pocket for several weeks or months are found to lie
practically as fresh and as efficacious as ever.
A.-tlng upon these suggestions, and noting particularly the unimpaired prosper
ity of great newspapers now sold for a cent instead of the old rate of five times that
amount, and the general tendency In all directions toward low rates and lnoreased
sal js. the company have entered upon the experiment of putting up Klpans Tabules
in v-istelward cartons, which they will oiler to the trade upon terms which will per
mit of a package being sold by the druggist or storekeeper at a price lower than
ever before adopted for a proprietary medicine FIVK CENTS ten tabules, or
doses, for one-half a cent each.
The company will not discontinue the manufacture and sale in the form with
which tho people have learned to know and value the Klpans Tabules, but win offer
the cheaper sort experimentally for the benefit of such as may desire them. It
should be plainly understood that the quality of the medicine is identical in both
sorts, the only difference being in the form and comparative cost of packing or put
ting up. The flve-cent packages are not yet to be had of all dealers, although It Is
probable that almost any druggist will obtain u supply when requested by a cus
tomer to do so: but in any case a single carton, containing ten tabules. will be sent,
postage paid, to aav address for five cents In stamps, forwarded to the Klpans
Chemical Co.. No. to Spruce St., N. V. Until the goods are thoroughly Introduced
to the trade, agents and peddlers will be supplied at a price which will allow them
a fair margin of protlt, viz.: 1 dozen cartons for 40 cents, or by mall 45 cents.
12 dozen (141 cartons) for lJi 5 gross (73) cartons) for MAi. S gross (3.600 car
tpns) for $100. Cash with the order in every case.
