ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED!

II is one of the most remarkable facts of
this remarkable age, not that so many
persons are she 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 it among the luxuries of
life. Far from it. Those who have ex-
perienced its torments would scout such an
idea All dread it, and would gladly dis
pense with its unpleasant famiiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under NIL the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed. never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his iolity would have speedily forsaken
him.
Of all the multifarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one 80
generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There
are disc ises more acute and painful, and
which more frequently prove fatal, but

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 imphaticaly the case IN the United

is due to the character of the food the
method of its preparation, or the liasty
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 not the case, why so many sufferers,

reply: This great allevator of human
suffering, is almost as widely known as the
