nNE MILLION or LIVES
81 VED IT is one of the re-
markable facts Of this remarkable age, not
merely that so many persons are the victims
OF dyspepsia or indigestion, but its willing
victims. Now, We would not be understood
to say that any one regards dyspepsia with
favor, or feels disposed to rank il among
the Injuries OF life. Far from it. Those
who rave experienced its torrents would
scout such an idea. Mark Tspley, who was
jolly under all the trying circumstance 10
which he was placed, never had an attack Of
dyspepsia, or his jOliity wonld have speedi-
ly iOrsaken him. Men and women some
times suffer its fortunes uncomplaiuiugly,
but whoever heard o! a person who enjoyed
them ? of all the mnliifarious diseases to
which the human system is liable, there is,
perhaps, none so generally prevalent nsdy-
pepsia. |! there is a wretehed being in the
world it is
A Confirmed D~yspspael
But it is not our intention to descant on
he horrors Of Dyspepsia. We have said
that dyspepsia is perhaps the most univer-
sal of human diseases. This is e~mphatic-
ally the case in the United States. Wheth-
er this general prevalence is due to the
character of the food, the method cf its
preparation, or the hasty manner 10 which
it is usually swallowed, is moi our province
to explain. The great fact with which we
are called to deal is this

son you meet is q victim, and apparently

why so many sufferers, when a certain spec

What is this remedy ? to which we reply :
This great alleviator of human suffering is
almost as widely known as the English Ian,

sands, and is to-day carrying comfort aud
encouragement to thousands of-olhers.-
This acknowledged panacea is none other

Let it Be Remembered,
6rst OF all, that ROOFLAND'S German

not alcoholic in any sense of the. term
They are composed wholly Of the pure juice
or vital principle o! roots. This is not 3
mere assertion. The extracts from which
they are compounded are prepared by one
OF thu abIest German chemists. Unlike a.
ny other Bitters in the market, they are
wholly free from spirituous ingredients
The objections which hold with so much
force against preparations OF this clssa,
] namely that a desire Tor Intoxicating
drinks ia stimulated by their use. are nos
valid in the case of the German Bitters.-

taste or dtsire for inebriating beverages,
il may be confidently asserted that their
tendency is in a diametrically opposite di-
~IectiOn. Their effects can be
