ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

~
1t is one Of the most remarkable facts of
this remarkable age, not that so many
persons are the victitna Of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to soy that my
one regards dyspepsia with favor. or feels
disposed TO rank it among the luxuries OF
life. Far from it. Those who have ex-
perienced lis torments would scout such an
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under nll the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his jolity would have speedily forsaken
him.
Of all tho multifarlous diseases to which
the human system is liable,
thore 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 ii is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases
This is imphatically the case N 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 to explain. The great
fact with which we are called to deal is
this:
DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almost univei sally.
Nearly every other person You meet is a
victim. an apparently willing one; were
this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when certain, speedy and safe remedy is
within the easy reach of all who will
avail themselves of it? But says q dys-
peptio: What is this remedy? to which We
reply: This great allevator of human
suffering is almost as widely known as the
English language. 1t has allayel the
agonies of thousands, and is to day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is

DR.. H0OFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful preparation than can be
learned from the experience of others?
Try it yourself. and when it has failed to
fulfil the assurance of its efficacy given by
the proprietor, then abandon faith in 1t.
LET IT BE REmEMBERED,
first Of all, that H0OFLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is ~J irum beverage.
They are composed wholly Of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
rot mere assertion. The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared by
one Of the ablest Of German chemists. Their
effects can be beneficial only in all cases of
