Swept by the Tire of Popularity

To the tOpmost pinnacle of success,
HoStetter's Stomach Bitters stands a
shining proof of what genuine merit,
backed by the living force of proven facts
can attain. The North and South Amer
lean continents, Europe, Australia, the
West Indies, Guatemala and Mexico have
all contributed wide patronage and testi-
mOny Of the most favorable kind-but
unsolicited-to swell the reputOtiOn of
this sterling remedy. Among the mala-
dies for which the most convincing pu-
bile and professional testimony proves
.hat it is benign curative, are chills
and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague
and ague cake, dyspepsia. liver complaint,
nervousness, debility, kidney and blad-
der complaints. II mitigates the infirmi-
ties of age, hastens cOnyalescence, has
tendency to prevent all consequences
from exposure and exhaustion. Persons
of sedentary habits and labOriOus Occu-
pations all find it an ever useful tonic.

published in Scribner's Magazine: 1T is
a fact that many of the best proprietary
medicines of the day are more successful
than many physicians. and most of them
are first discovered and used in actual
me1icai practice. When, however. any
shrewd person knowing their virtue, for
seeing their popularity, secures and ad-
veriises them. then, in the opinion of the
bIeoted, all virtue went out of them.''

Announcement is made of the appear
ance on Monday evening of the Heine Con-
cert Company. The troupe, which has
played in San Francisco at the highest cor :
cert prices. is to appear here at a much
lower rate, the local management wisely
concluding that where there is so much
"call" upon the local musical taste, the
better plan is 70 bid for larger houses at
lower rates. He;ne is the famous blind
violinist, and by many of the worlds best
Judges is esteemed the only legitimate sue
cessor of the renowned ''Ole Bull''-that is,
he has more nearly approached to the style
of that master than any other. Heine is
aided by NINE. Heine, an accomplished
pianist, and by his daughter, who has in
herited much of her fathers power and
skill as vicliDist.
The Portland Oregonidn, journal very
chary of praise and critically exacting,
speaks of Heine as as "a musical wonder"
and adds, in review of his concert in that
city recently: mot since the artist Divide
Musin. with his brilliant handling of the
king ofinstruments. thrilled the large houses
that gathered within the walls of the old
New Market Theater, has the musical por-
ton of the community who were present
been so RECALLED as they must have been last
evening by the superb Instrumentation of
the celebrated blind violinist, Josef Heine.
His reputation as a phenomenal musician
is world wide, and the illustrations he
afforded of his mastery over all the re-
sources of the violin gave ample proof that
he well merits the commentator that has
been bestowed upon him both by the press
and the public"
