A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases
This is imphatcaly the case IN the United
States. Whether this general prevalence
is due TO the character of the food, the

HOOFLAND'S TONIC
acts with almost marvellous effect. It not

other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because of its in,

PODOPHILLlN PILLS, a perfect suhsti,
tute for mercury without any of mercury'>
evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills. which are Intend
ed to act upon the Liver, are mainly com
posed Of POdophYllin, or the vital priuci-
pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi-
cinal virtues Of this health giving plant in
a perfectly pure aud highly concentrated
form. The Podophylin acts directly or
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 tbs
ase 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 i.
skillfully 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 a pill that influence,
the entire digestive and alimen,ary system
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely tree from nausea, vomit
ing or "rining pains common to all Other
purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as a
