From the Dallas (Texas) News.
 The supreme test of any medicine Is the result obtained by it's use. The claims of the prescribing physician in advance amount to little in comparison with the actual effects of his preparation on the in valid It is results that count, in the medi- cal world as in the business world.
 The News and all of its readers were re- gently made aware of the presence in Dal- las of Dr. Harter's representative, when he distributed free 1000 sample bottles of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It was so expensive an advertisement, so boldly designed and so thoroughly carried out, that public and press both wondered at the audacity of the move and watched for the result. It was with ordinary curiosity, therefore, that a reporter was assigned to the task of per sonally interviewing a few of the 1,O0O Dallas residents who had accepted this gift from pr. Harter, to ascertain, if possible, what result had followed the use of the medicine.
 MT. George c. Brown was the first one called upon, and was found to be about as hearty an invalid could be discovered
 in all the state of Texas. In response to a uueSllOH IesdTullt heeiiAh DAO"h said: If you had seen me six weeks ago you wouldn't know me for the same man ] you see now. l couldn't eat then lost esh; was debilitated to last degree. If Dr. | Harters man hadn't come along just as he | did I'd have cashed in my checks before l now" When asked if he would put his | name to a letter for publication in the News | telling the truth about the effect of Dr. | Harters Iron Tonic on himself. he at once | sat down and wrote the following: Dallas, Tex, December 15, 1897. | Dallas News:
 | Gentlemen Answering your reporter, l | heartily recommend Dr. Harter's Iron | Tonic to any one suffering from nervous | debility or loss of appetite. It made new | man of me. Yours respectfully, GEO c. BROWN, ell Main Street Mir Britton, so favorably known in this city from his long connection with the Oriental bath parlors, spoke in the same manner as MT. Brown, and penned the fol- lowing message for the benefit of similar sufferers:
