A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
tho most universal of human diseases.
This is imphatically the case IN the United
States. Whether this general prevalence
is du. 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 to explain, The great
fact with which we are called to deal is

Nearly every other person you meet is a
victim. an apparently willing one; were
this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when a certain, speedy and safe remedy is
within the easy reach of all who will
avail themselves of it? But says q dys-

Dr. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepai alton than can be

They are composed wholly of the pure

the human race are not confined to his |
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his /
invaluable Tonic. lie has prepared an.
other medicine which is rapidly winning |
its way to popular favor because of its in |

POD0PHYLLIN PILLS, perfect substi-
tute for mercury without any Of mercury's |
evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills. which are Intend !
ed to act upoa the Liver, are mainly COM
posed of Podophyllin, or the vital princi-
pie of the mandrake root. Ii is the medi-
cinal virtues of this health giving plant in
a perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodOphylIin aces directly ON
the Liver, stimulating its functiIns and
causing it to make its hillary secreticns in
regular and proper quantities. The inju-
rious results which invariably follow the
use Of mercury is entirely avoided by
their use. But ii is not upon the Liver
only that their powers are exerted. The
extract of Mandrake contained in them is
skiilfully combined with four other ey- |
racts one of which acts upon ths stomach,
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the
over bowels. aud prevents any gripping
effect. thus producing a pill that influences
he entire digestive and almentary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, aud
is action entrely.iree from nausea, vomit-
ng or gripping pains common TO all ether

Possessing these much desirable qualities
he Podophyllin becomes invaluable as
