ONE mELLION or LIVES SAVED

derstood to say that any one regards dys-
pcpsia with favor, or feels disposed to rank it
among the luxuries of life. Far from it,
Those who have experienced its torments would
scout such an idea. All dread it, and would
gladly dispense with its unpleasant familiari-
ties. Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all
the trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia, or
his jOllity would have speedily forsaken him.
Men. and women sometimes suffer its tortures
plainingly, but whoever heard of q per-
son who enjoyed them?
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 wretchcd being in the
world il is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
But il is not our intention TO discant on the hor
rors of Dyspepsia. TO describe them truth full
Iy is simply an mpossiblity, but it is possible
TO point out a remedy. We said that dyspep-
sia is perhaps the most universal of human
diseases. This is emphatically the case
in the United States. Whether this general
prevalence is due to the character of the food,
the method of its preparation, or the hasty
manner in which it is usually swallowed, is not
our province 10 explain. The great fact with
which we are called to deal is this:
DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almost universally.
Nearly every other person you meet is a vic
tim, an apparently willing one; for were this
not the ease, why so many sufferers, when u
certain, speedy and safe remedy is within the
easy reach of all who desire TO avail themselves
of it? But the majority will not Blinded by
predludce, or deferred by some other uneX-
planned influence, they refuse to accept the
relief pronored them. They turn deaf ear to
testimony of the thousands whose sulerings
have been allevated, and with strange inlat-
uation. appear to cling with desperate determi-
nation TO their ruthless tormentor. But says a
dyspeptic: What is this remedy to which we
reply This great alleviator OF human suiler-
ing is almost rs widely known as the English
language IL has allayed the agonies Of thous-
ands, and is to-day carrying comfort and en-
couragement TO thousands of others. This ac-
knowledged panacea is none other than
Dr.. HOOFLAND'S,GERM BITTERS.
Would you know more of the merits of this
wonderful medicine than can be learned from
the experience of others Try it yourself, and
when it has failed to fulfill the assurance OF
its efficacy given by the proprietor, then aban-
don faith in it,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
TIERS is not q rum beverage.
They are not alcoholic IN any sense of the
term. They are composed wholly of the pure
juice or vital principle Of roots. This is not a
mere assertion. The extracts from which they
are compounded are prepared by one of the
ablest German chemists. Unlike any other
Bitters in the market, they are wholly free from
spirituous ingredients. The objections which
hold with so much force against preparations
of this class, namely-that n desire for intoXi-
eating drinks is stimulated by their use, arc
not valid in The case of the German Bittcrs.-
So far from encouraging or inculcating taste
or desire for inebriating beverages, it may be
confidently asserted that their tendency is in a
dramatically opposite direction. Their effects
can be
BENEFICIAL ONLY

disease, Dyspepsia,
THEY STAND UNRIVALED.
Now, there are certain classes OF persons t,
whom extreme Bitters are not only unpalata
BILE, but who find it impossible to take then
without positive discomfort. For such
Dr.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where a slight alcoholic stimuient is re
quired in connection with the well-knOwn Ton
ic properties of the pure German Bitters. This
Tonic contains all the Ingredients of the Bit
ters, but so favored as to remove the extreme
bitterness. This preparation is not only pal
atable but combines, in modified form, all the
virtues of the German BiLters. The solid eX.

but invigorates and permanently strengthens

Physical or Nervous Prostration, yield readily
to its potent influence. II gives the invalid 8

1t supplants the pain of disease with the ease
and comlortofperlect health. Itgives strength

and starts the restored invalid upon a new and
gladsome career. But DIR. Hoohand's benefac-
tiOns to the human race are not confined TO his
celebrated
GERMAN BITTERS,
or mis- Invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning its
way TO popular favor because OF its intrinsic
merits This is
HOOFLAND'S PODOPHYhLIN PILLS,
a perfect substitute for mercury, without any
of mercury's evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are intended to
act upon the Liver, are mainly composed oi
Podophyllin, or the
VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE MANDRAKE L
ROOT.
Now we desire the reader TO distinctly un-
derstand that this extract Of the Mandrake is
many times more powerful than the Mandrake
itself. 1t is the medicinal virtues of this
health-giving plant in perfectly pure and
highly concentrated form. Hence it is that
two Of the Podophyllin Pills constitute q full
dose, while anywhere six to eight q hand
full Of other preparations Of the Mandrake are
required The Podophyllin
ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER,
stimulating its functions and causing it TO make
its hillary secretions in regular and proper
quantities. The injurious results which inva-
riably follow the use of mercury is entirely
avoided by their use. But it is not upon the
Liver only that their powers or eXertod. The
extract of Mandrake contained with four Other
extracts, one of which acts upon the stomach
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the lower
bowels, and one prevents any gripping effect
thus producing pill that influences the entire
digestive and alimentary system, in an equal
and harmonious manner, and its action entire
ly free from nausea, vomiting or gripping pains
common to all other pugratives
Possessing these much desirable qualities the
Podophyllin becomes invaluable as
FAMILY MEDICINE.
No household should be without them.
They are perfectly safe, require but two for an
ordinary dose, are prompt and efficient in ac-
tion, and when used in connection with DR..
Hoonand's German Bitters, or Tonic, may be
regarded as certain specifies in all cases OF
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or any of the dis
orders to which the system is ordinarialy sub
ject.
