Mark Tapley, who was jolly under MI the

OF all the multifarous diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so
generally prevalent rs 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 q wretched being in

A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases.
This is imphatcally 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

Nearly every other person yon meet is n

this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when a certain, speedy and safe remedy is
within the easy reach of all who will
avail themselves of it? But says dys-
peptic: 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 allayei the

Dr. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepa1 alton 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 1T De mEMBERED,
first of all, that HO0FLAND'S GERMAN
| BlTTERS is Ao arum beverage.
They are composed wholly of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
not 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
the hillary system. Hoohand's German
| Bitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the liver;
they remove its torpdity and cause health

the stomach with the most indispensable
elements of sound digestion in proper pro-
portions.
They purify the blood, cleansing the
vital fluid of all hurtful impurities and SUI
planting them with the elements of genuine
hcalthtulness.
Now, there are certain classes Of per-
sons to whom extreme Btters are not only
unpalatahle, hut who find it impossible to
tako them without positive discomfort. For
such Dr. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
ras been specially prepared. 1t is intended

| the human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable ToYIC. lie has prepared an
other medicine. which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because of its in
trnsic metits. This is EOOFLAND'S
| PODOPHYLLIN PILLS, a perfect substi-
tute for mercury without any of mercury's
evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are Intend
ed to act upon the Liver, are mainly com.
! posed of POdophyllin, or the vital princ-
! pie of the mandrake root, 1t is the medi-
| cinal virtues of this health giving plant in
Il perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodophyDin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functions and
causing it to make its hillary secretions in
regular and proper quantities. The inju-
rious results which invariably follow the
use Of mercury is entirely avoided by
their use. But it is not upon the Liver
only that their powers are exerted. The
extract of Mandrake contained in them is
skillGully combined with four other ex-
tracts, one of Which acts upon the stomach,
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the
lower bowels. and prevents any gripping
| effect, thus producing pill that influences
the entire digestive and alimen .aIy system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely tree from nausea, vomit-
ing or gripping pains common TO all other
purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable qualities
the PodOphyllin becomes invaluable as q
FAMILY MEDICINE.
No household should be without them,
They are perfectly safe, require but two
for an ordinary dose, are prompt and eff
cent in action, and when used in connec-
ton with Dir. Hoohand's German Bitters,
or Tonic, may be regarded as certain spe-
cities in al cases of Liver Complaint, Dys-
pepsia, or any of the disorders to which
the System is ordidarly subject. The
PODOPHYLLIN PILLS
act upon the stomach and bowels, carrying
off improper distractions, while the Bitters
or Tonic purify the blood, strengthen and
invigorate the frame, give tone and appe-
tite to the stomach, and thus build up the
invalid anew.
DR.. Hoofand, having provided internal
remedies for disease, has given the world

This Oil is a sovereign remedy for pains
and aches of all kinds.
