Who Will be our Next President?

Politicians are now planning for
the presidential campaign of 1900,
but the war has so overshadowed
all other matters that politics is
almost unnoticed. Many people
are Of the opinion that the candi-
dates will be the same as in 1896,
but there may be a"dark horse'
who will win the race. Popularity
has much to do with candidates.
This is also true with medicine.
The most popular remedy to-day
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and it has retained this for many
years. Science never discovered
the equal Of this medicine for
stomach, liver and kidney diseases.
It builds up solid flesh tissue, i'm
parts vigor and vitality to all
organs, and makes life worth
living. A bottle will make a big
change for the better. Try it.
