The Popular Tonic Of the Age.

The day has gone by when q medicine
without merit could command and retain
the confidence OF the world. Advertising
induces the public to try many things, but
in this shrewed and thoughtful age, words
will not suffice without proofs, and 1t is by
the exercise of their private Judgment,
men determine therelative value ofthe va
rious articles recommended to their notice
through the business columns OF newspa-
pers Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has now
been subjected to this searching ordeal
for more than eighteen years, and the
result Is that it stands at the head of
the class of remedies to which 1t belongs.
It has distanced and lived down innumer-
able competitors, and Is to day the Stan
dard Vegetable tonic Of the western
world. The happy effects which have
followed its use in case Ct dyspepsia,
b iliousness, nervous affections, inter-
mittent fevers and general debility, and
as constitutional invlgorant, have enti-
tied 1t to universal confidence. Nothing
can ever shake its reputation, for it is
based on the Individual experiences of
tens OF thousands of witnesses, embra-
cling prominent and we'll known citis ems
Of every profession, occupation and class.
There is not q city, town or settlements
in the United States where It is not a
medicinal staple. No druggisto or general
dealer would consider his stock complete
without it, and the returns Of the internal
revenue department show that its sale,
exceed those Of any other proprietary
restorative manufactured on tais side OF
the Atlantic. The beneficial results de-
rived during q long series of years
from the use of Hostetters Bitters, have
convinced the whole community that the
only true way to restore to health bro
ken down or debilitated system, or to put
the human body on its defence when ex-
posed to unwholessme influences, is to
invigorate, regulate and purify it at one
and the same time.

be the best horse in three States by carrying
off the first premium at the last State Fair at
Keokuk, over twenty-eight stations, will be
at the service of all who may desire thorough
bred stock, at Mr.. Lewis livery, on Green
street. This horse Is well known to Iowans.
He took the first premium at the Burlington
Fair, and all the County Fairs as the fastest
trotting stallion. He has been exhibited on
all the principal Fair grounds in the State
since he was four years old, and never failed to
take the first premium as a roadster stallion
This is positively the last season the horse
will be kept in this place. Come and see him
II you desire to improve your stock. Terms
