From the Galveston (Tex.) Daily News: The coming to Galveston of pr. Harter's representatives will long be remembered. Because his Iron Tonic was given away free for few days we each carried a bottle home, and most of us took the contents in spirit of jocularity. What began as a joke has become, with most of us, a habit the "Harter habit" we call 1t.
 When man finds he can eat more, sleep better, think clearer, exercise harder and feel in better spirits all the time, at cost of dollar month or so for a bottle of Dr. Harters Iron Tonic, he's chump if he don't acquire and stick to the "Harter habit"
 Being little curious to know how our representative Galveston citizens had vel comed the Iron Tonic in their homes, we sent our reporters about town to interview number of leading merchants on the sub- ject.
 MT. M. c. Michael, the Model Clothier'' at 2213 and 2215 Market street, said he had obtained the greatest relief from severe stomach trouble by it's use, and wrote out the following for publication over his own signature:
 Galveston, Tex, Feb. 14 1898. Dear sir-For over two years suffered from severe attacks of indigestion, and tried many cures but none affected me fa- vorably until I used Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic and after trying three bottles I feel greatly relieved.
 M. C. m1C1AEI, Of M. c. Michael & Co.,, Model Clothiers. Charles Davis, of Jake Davis & Co.,, wholesale grocers, had the "Harter habit'' firmly established, having recently taken three bottles for relief in nervous trouble. He tells his tory in the following words:
 Galveston, Tex, Feb. II, 1898. Daily News:
 Gentlemen-It gives me great pleasure to be able to indorse Dr. Harters Iron Tonic For the past several months have suffered with generally shattered nervous system, with the result that I could not give that careful attention to my business that it re- quired. Despite all my efforts I could not effect a cure, nor am l ent rely we'll now, though, having used three bottles of the tonic, feel relieved in a manner entirely beyond description and have no doubt this wonderful med cine will, in the end, work permanent cure. CHAS. l.. DAVIS, Of Jake Davis & Co.,, Wholesale Grocers. Jolly John Bolton, the well-known pro- prletor of the "Nine Sons" livery, on Post office street, evidently expects great things of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, judging from the subjoined letter:

ALABAMA GOVERNORS
 DEMOCRATIC DOGMAS

We have had an executive reform quad rate, so to speak, in Alabama, in our finan- cjal history. Governor Martin, in 1S45, re- lieyed the state of it's banks, and the re- suit started us fariy with the best of all currency, a well regulated private bank paper; Governor Winston, in 1S53-55, ar rested an earnest desire of the legislature to involve the state deeply in security ob- ligations to private railroad corporations everywhere within it's borders, by his numerous vetoes; Governor Houston, in 1S74-76, was the official head of a move ment really inspired at that time by Rob- ert Mckee, editor of the Selma Argus, the result of which was the constitutional lim- itations of the taxing power of the legis- lature to [ mills and the sealing of the bonded debt from sss, 900 900 to s9,Ooo,OO in round numbers; Governor Johnston closes the square with enforcement of existing tax laws, so successfully administered that equality in taxation appears as new ele- ment in our state government; the antici- pated result being radical reform in the bookkeeping of county officers, system atized under a general statute, in lieu of the go-as-you please practices now in vogue.
 Martin was punished for his democratic fidelity, which he was forced to put in er- feet outside of his party, by the denial to him of second term; Winston failed to reach the senate in 1859, as he desired to go but was elected after the war to the seat denied to him by the senate; Houston was defeated by Morgan for the senate in 1876 but died a member of the body

 Galveston, Tex, Feb. IA, 1898. Editor Daily News:
 Gentlemen-I suffered from a weak, irrit- able stomach and tried many remedies. A friend suggested Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, and I procured a bottle. I do not think need say more in it's favor than that shall continue to use it, and with that end in view have ordered another bottle today.

It is very doubtful if any of the above representative citizens of Galveston ever before wrote a testimonial for any medi. cine in the world. 1t is equally doubtful if there is any other medicine in the world that any one of the above people would publicly recommend. It is an indorsement without parallel in the history of the Island City, Thousands of other letters could have been had for the asking, but these few are enough. It Is plainly appar- ent that the "Harter habit" has good hold of this city, and it bids fair to rernainl as long as good health and happiness att tend it.
