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-
pepsia with favor, or feels disposed to rank it
| 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 famillari-
ties. Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all
| the trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack OF dyspepsia, or
| his iollity would have speedily forsaken him.
| Men and women sometimes suffer its tortures
uncomplainingly, but whoever heard of per-
son who enjoyed them?
OF all the multifarous 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 so depressing to
the mind and so positively distressing to the
body. If there is 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 impossiblity, but it is possible
| to point out remedy. We said that dyspep-
sia is perhaps the most universal of human
| diseases. This is emphatically the case
| in 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 universally.
| Nearly every other person you meet is vic
| tim, an apparently willing one; for were this
| not the case, why many sufferers, when a
| certain, speedy and safe remedy is within the
| easy reach of all who desire to avail themselves
| oft t? But the majority will not. Blinded by
| prediudice, 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 determi-
nation to their ruthless tormentor. But says q
| 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
DIR. HOOFLAND'S,GERAIAN 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 fulillthe assurance of
its efficacy given by the proprietor, then aban-
| don faith in it.
LET 1T BE REMEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'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 othe
Bitters in the market, they are wholly free from
| spirituous 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 Btters.-
| So far from encouraging or inculcatng taste
or desire for inebriating beverages, it may be
| confiently asserted that their tendency is in a
Numerically opposite direction. Their effects
| can be
BENEFICIAL ONLY
in all cases of the hillary system. oofand's
| German Btters 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 do. They ;mpart vigor
1
| 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 impuri-
| ties and supplanting them with the elements
| of genuine healthfulness In word, there is
/ scarcely diease 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
DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where 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 the German Bitters. The solid ex-
tracts of some of Natures choicest restoratves
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,
but invigorates 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, Billousness,
| Physical or Nervous Prostration, yield readily
| to its potent influence. 1t gives the invalid a
new and stronger hold upon life, removes de-
preston of spirits, and inspires cheerfulness.-

and comfortof perfect health. Itgives strength
| to weakness, throws dependency to the winds,
| and starts the restored invalid upon q new and
| gladsome career. But DR.. Hoofiand's benefac-
| tions to the human race are not confined to his
| celebrated
| GERMAN BITTERS,
| or mis- 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,
| o 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
| VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE MANDRAKE
| ROOT.
| Now we desire the reader to distinctly un-
| derstand that this extract of the Mandrake is
| many times more powerful than the Mandrake
| Itself. IL is tne meulclnal virtues OF InlS
| health-giving plant in perfectly pure and
| highly concentrated form. Hence it is that
two Of the Podophyllin Pills constitute a full
dose, while anywhere six to eight or hand
| full of other preparations of the Mandrake are
required The Podophyllin
| ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER,
stimulating its functions and causing it to make
| its hillary secretions in regular and proper
| quantities. The in furious 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. The
| extract of Mandrake contained with four other
| extracts, one of which acts upon the stomach
one upon the upper bowels, Que 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 It's action entlre-
| 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.
| Hoofand'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. -
