A Standard Bearer.

In the crusade Inaugurated nearly half a
century ago against the professional ignor-
ance of the old school of medicine, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters was standard bear
er. Its victories over disease, when the
old time specifics proved abject failures,
proved that the pseudo philosophy which
sanctioned the ADMINISTRATION of violent
remedies where the case required none,
which laid down as unalterable rules blood
letting, violent purgation, the use of
emetics and the employment of corrosive
and cumulative poisons in simple cases of
liver and malarial complaint, was in tact
the worst of upphilosophy, contrary alike
to the laws of true medicinal science, of
hygiene and of common sense. Bilious
ness, constipation and chills and fever, as
now treated by the Bitters, promptly yield
where before they obstinately resisted old
fashioned medication. So do dyspepsia,
rheumatism and kidney cOnplaint-all
surely comparable by this safe and really
philosOphic remedy

The Hawkeye Fire Insurance Com
panv of Iowa still seems to hold the
first place among the insurance COM
panles. This company is undoubtedly
the most popular company doing bus
mess in Iowa. Why is II this company
does such large business? There
must be some reason fer it. We know
of none other except that it charges u
fair price for its policies; II always
adjusts It's losses fairly and equita bly,
and pays them promptly. The Hawk
eye Insurance Company, as shown from
the auditors report, possesses the
largest amount OF assets and the largest
amount of net surplus of any of the
Iowa companies. In our Judgment it
gives better indemnity than any COM
pany that is issuing policies in Iowa.
The farmers.of Iowa in placing their
insurance with the Hawkeye Insurance
Company make no mistake and take no
chances of loss. We take much pleas
ure in speaking a good word for SO
prosperous and so good an institution
as the Hawkeye Insurance Company OF
Des Moines, Iowa.
