ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED

1t is one Of the remarkable facts of this re-
markable age, not merely that so many persons
are the victims of dyspepsia or indigestion, but
its willing victims Now we would not be un-
derstood to say that any one regards dys-
pepsa with favor, or feels disposed to rank il
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 nave speedily forsaken him.
Men and women sometimes suffer its tortures
uncomplainingly, but whoever heard of 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 a wretched being in the
world it is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
But it is not our intention to dscant on the hor-
rors of Dyspepsia. To describe them truthful
ly is simply an impossibiity, but it is possible
to point out remedy. We said that dyspep-
sia is perhaps the most universal of hunan
diseases. This is emphatically the case
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 universally.
Nearly every other person you meet is q vic
tim, an apparently willing one; for were this
not the case, why so many sufferers, when a
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
predjudice or deferred by some other unex-
planned influence, they refuse to accept the
relief proffered them. They turn deaf ear to
testimony of the thousands whose sufferings
have been alleviated, and with strange infat
uation, appear to cling with desperate determ-
nation to their ruthless tormentor But says a
dyspeptic What is this remedy to which we
reply This great alleviator OF human suffer
ing is almost as widely known as the English
language. 1t 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'SGER 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.
LET IT BE REMEMBERED,
first of all, that H0OFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
TIERS is not 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
Bittsrs in the market, they are WI oily free from
spirituols ingredients. The objections which
hold with so much force against preparations
of this class, namely-that desire for intoxi-
eating drinks is stimulated by their use, are
not valid III the case of the German Bitters.--
So far from encouraging or inculcating a taste
or desire for inobriatiHg beverages, it may be
coniently asserted that their tendency is in
dia metrcally opposite direction. Their effects
can be
. BENEFICIAL ONLY
in all cases of the hillary system. Hollands
German pitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the Liver; they
remove its torpidity and cause healthful secre-
ton of bile-thereby supplying the stomach
with the most indispensable elements Of sound
digestion in proper proportions. They give
tone to the stomach stimulating its functions,
and enabling it to perform its duties as nature
designed it should Go. They impart vigor
asvrenzUFt sr51r', csrtSsi1I Iy-tde
patient to feel like another being-in fact, Civ
ing him a new lease of life.
THEY PURIFY THE BLOOD,
cleansing the vital fluid of all hurtful mpuri-
ties and supplanting them with the elements
of genuine healthfulness. In a word, there is
scarcely dease in which they cannot be safe
ly and benefcially employed but in that most
generally prevalent distressing and dreaded
disease, Dyspepsia,
THEY STAND UNRIVALED.
Now, there are certain classes of persons to
whom extreme Bitters are not only unpalata-
BILE, but who find it impossible to take them
without positive discomfort. For such
DIR HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where q slight alcoholic stimulent 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 tie German Bitters. The solid eX-
tracts of some of Natures choicest restoratives
are held in solution by a spirituous agent Of
the purest quality. In cases OF languor or
excessive debility, where the system ap-
pears to have become exhausted Of its ener-
gies,
HOOFLAND'S TONIC
acts with almost marvellous effect. 1t not on
ly stimulates the tagging and wasting energies,
buC iuvigorates and permanently strengthens
its action upon the Liver and Stomach
though, perhaps less prompt than the Bit
ters, when the same quantity is taken is none
the less certain. Indigestion, Billiousness,
Physical or Nervous Prostration, yield readily
to its potent influence. 1t gives the invalid a
new and stronger hold upon life, removes de-
r. oh
1t supplants the pain of disease with the ease
and comfortof perfect health. Itgives strength
to weakness throws dependency to the winds,
and starts the restored invalid upon new and
gladsome career. But DR.. Hollands benefac-
tions to the human race are not confined to his
celebrated
GERMAN BITTERS,
or his 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 PODOPHYLLIN 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 Of
PodophylliD, or the
VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE MANDRAKE
ROOT.
New we desire The reader to distinctly un-
derstand that this extract OF the Mandrake is
many lines more powerful than the Mandrake
itself. 1t is the medicinal virtues of this
health-giving plant in a perfectly pure and
highly concentrated form. Hence it is that
two OF the PodopI yllin Pills constitute a full
dose, while anywhere six TO eight or hand
full Of other prepa rations OF the Mandrake are
required. The Podophyllin
ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER,
stin u,ating its functions and causing it to make
its hillary seoretions 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 eXerted. Ire
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-
ton and when used in connection with DR..
Hoohand's German Bitters, or Tonic, may be
regarded as certain specifics in all cases of
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or any of the dis
orders to which the system is ordinarialy sub
ject.

aches of all kinds.
