ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

NNE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED!
Il is one of the most remarkable facts of
This remarkable age, not that so many
persons are the victims of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor,'or feels
disposed to rank 1t among tie luxuries of
life. Far from it. Those who have ex-
perenced its torn ents would scout such an
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.

trying circumsta uces in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his jolity would have speedily forsaken
him.
OF all the multifarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one SO
generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There
are diseases more acute and painful, and
which more frequently prove fatal, but
none the effects of which are so depressing
to the mind and So positively distressing to
the body. If there is a wretched being in
the world it is

We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases
This is imphatieally the case IN the United
States. Whether this general prevalence
is due to the cha racier of the food the
method Of its preparation, or the hasty
manner in which it is usually swallowed,
is not our proviace to explain. The great
fact with which we are called to deal is
this:
DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
