Mighty is the Truth.

And it will prevail. Against underhand com
petition and spurious imitation, the genuine
efficacy of the great national tonic, HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, always has and always will
prevail. The public recognize it everywhere as
the chief preventive of malaria, and reliable
specific for dyspepsia, constipation, nervous
ness, rheumatism, kidney trouble, biliousness
and loss of appetite. Efforts made by irrespon
sible dealers to compete with it by indirect
means have and will continue to fall upon the
heads, and it may be added the pockets Ot
those making them. Through the length and
breadth of the American continent it is the ac
knowledged household remedy, reliable anC
prompt. 1t relies upon facts upon public ex
pericnce, and upon the emphatic commenda
tion of the medical fraternity.

A New Herd OF Buffalo,

Forest and Stream entertainS no
doubt that a herd Of Buffalo still
roam the plains of Texas in Val
Verde County, mountainous region
near the Rio Grande border The
popular belief has been that the only
undOmeSticaCed buffalo in the United
States were to be found in The
/ Yellowstone Park. where they are be-
ing preserved by the government.
About four years ago the story that
! Mr.. George w. Fulton, ranchman
and sportsman of Gregory, Texas,
had shot buffalo on Devils River,
in west Texas excited only the good
natured badinage of his friends, but
the evidence in COrrObOratiOn Of the
story which is now produced by For
est and Stream cannot be easily cried
down. On the 9th of last month
Mr. c. H MOreau, Of Val Verde
County, stated that he had received
information from his foreman, Leal
Martinez, of the existence OF a herd
of about forty buffalo in some rough
country near the Mexican border.
"Martinez told me-" said Mr..
MOreau, that he found the herd in
a small valley between two ranges Of
big hills, many miles from any SET
tier. That part of Val Verde County
is very remote, and it is LOssible that
the herd has been there tor several
years without being seen by anybody.
| Martinez stated that he counted the
| herd, and that there were between
! forty and fifty buffalo in it. He is a
truthful man, and | believe his
statement is correct. 1t has been
rumored for several years that a herd
OF buffalo existed in that section Of
the border, but these rumors were
never verified before to my knOwl-
edge" Further cOrrObOratiOn is fur
nished by DR.. J. B. Taylor, of San
Angelo, on whose ranch Mr.. Fulton
was hunting when he killed his huf-
IA O. DR.. Taylor says that twice
since that time he has located herd
OF some thirty buffalo in the Devils
