nNE MILLION or LIVES SAVED.

IL is one Of the most remarkable facts Of
This remarkable age, not that so many
persons are the victima of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say 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-
perlehecd its torments would scout such an
idea. All dread il, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under nll the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his iolity would have speedily forsaken
him.
OF all the mulliforous 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
tho world it is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases.
This is imphaticaly 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

victim, an apparently willing one: were
this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when certain, speedy and safe remedy is
within the easy reach of all who will
avail themselves of it? But says q 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 allayel the
agonies of thousands, and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
Of others. This acknowledged panacea is

DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more of the merits Of
this wonderful preparation 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 BE REMEMBERED,
first Of all, that H0OFLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is as rum 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 torpidity and cause health
| ful secretion Of bile-thereby supplying
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 su-
planting them with the elements Of genuine
| hellthfulness.
| Now, there are certain classes Of per-
| sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
unpalatable, but who find it impossible to
take them without positive discomfort. For
such DR.. HO0FLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where a slight alcoholic stimulant
is requirel in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.
