ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.


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 il. Those who have ex-
perienced its orments would scout such az
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
i Mark Tapley. who was jolly under all the
7 trying circumstances in which he was
placed never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his jolity would have speedily forsakeu
him.
Of all the multfarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so
generally prevalent ms 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
the world it is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases.
This is imphatioally 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 hastv
manner in which it is usually swallowed :
is not our province to explain. The great
fact with which we are called to deal is

DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS

Nearly every other person you meet is

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 dys-
peptc: 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
agonies of thousands, and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is

Dr. IOOFLAND's GERMAN BITTERS.

LET IT BE REmEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is 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 cf the ab!est of German chemists. Their
effects can be beneficial only in all cases of
the hillary system. Hooh ands German
Bittcrs stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the liver;
they remove It's torpidity and cause health
tul secretion of bile-thereby supplying
the stomach with the most Indispensable
elemcnts ct sound digestion in proper pro-
portions.
They purify the blood. cleansing the
vital fluid ,. all hurtful impurities and su-
planting them with the elements of genuine
healthiulness.
Now, there are certain classes ot per-
sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
unpalatable, but who find ii impossible to
take them without positive discomfort. For
such DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where a slight alcoholic stimulaut
is required in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.
