Quite number of State officers are

it bchooves the people Of Iowa TO see
that good and true candidates arc Sc
lectcd. There is large number Of
applicants for the various State Off
ces and some of them must neccssari-
ly be disappointed. The tried fidelity
and honesty Of the present State An-
ditor, Mr.. Catteil, will probably en-
sure his denomination, although he
presents no claim for it and is doing
no elcctionccring to secure it, The
same may be said Of Mr.. Holmes, the

The most remarkable medicine of the day,
and the many cures that have been performed
with it in cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia,
Nervous Debility, and other diseases arising
from dsordercd stomach or liver, places it
at once among the most astonishing discover
les that has taken place in the medical world.
The diseases to which bitters are applicable
are so universal that there are but few of our
friends who may not test their virtues in their
own families or circle of acquaintance and
prove TO their own satisfaction that there is at
least one remedy among the many advertised
medicines deserving the public commentator.
