HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
Prepared By DR.. c. N. JackS0n,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Thirty.fve years since they were first intro
duccd into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and benefited suffering humanity to
greater extent, than any other remedies known
to the public.
These remdeies will oiIecluaIly cure Liver
Complaint, JauCd Dyspepsia, I hIo-
uic or Nervous De z S blllty, Chronic DI:
arrhoea, Disease Of ' the Kidueys, and
al! dist Cscs arising Ez. from DIsordered
Liver, Stomach or InIesunes
DEBILITY.
There il no medicine extant equal 10 these
remedies ia such cases. A tone and viSorIs
impaired TO the whole system, the appetite Is
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the complexion
becomes sound and healthy, the yellow ting" is
eradica,ed from the eyes. a bloom is given to the
checks. and the weak and nervous invalid be-
comes a strong and healthy being.
PERSONS ADVANCED IN LIFE,
And feeling the hand Of time weighing heavily
upon ,hem, with all It's attendant Ills, VII hhd IN
the uso Of this BITTERS, or the TONIC, an
elixir that will inst new life into their veins,
restore in a measure the energy and ardor Of
more youthful days, build up their shrunken
forms, and give health and happiness to their
rcmaing years.
NOTICE.
II is we'll established fact that fully one-haf
ofthe female portion Of our population
are seldom in the II enjoyment o. good
health, or, to use their own express
sion, "never feel = n WELL" They are
hngud, devoid Of all energy, exteme-
Iv nervous, and bave no appetite.
To This class offers rs the BITTERS,or the
TONIC, is especially recommended.
WEAK KANDDELICATE CHILDREN
Are made strong by the use OF either OF these
remedies They will cure every case CT Ma
RASMUS, without fail.
Thousands of certificates have accumu ulated IN
the hands of the proprietor, but space will allow
of the publication of but a few. These, II VIII
be observed, are men of note, and OF such stand
