ONE MILLION or LIVES eAVED.

II is one Of the most remarkable facts Of
this remarkable age, not that so many
persons are the victims Of dyspepsia or In.
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be un ierstood to soy 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-
rerienced its tormenis would scout such an
idea. All dread il, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all the
trying circumstances in which he was

the human race are not confined to his

its way to popular favor because Of its in

evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which ore Intend

the Liver, stimulating its functions and
causing it to make its hillary secreticns 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
