ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

Is one of the most remarkable facts of
this remarkable age not that 30 many
persons are the victime of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now.
we would not be Understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia rsith ftvor. or feels
disposed to rank il among the luxuries of
life. Far from it. Those who have ex-
perienced its torments would soout such IN
idea. All dread il, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant famiiiarities.
Mark Tapley. who was jolly under all 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 multifarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so
generally prevalent lis 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 aud SO positively distressing to
Inc body If there is wretched being in
the world it IS
A C0NftRttED tYspEpric.
We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
| me most universal of human diseases.
This is imphatically the case in the United
States Whether this general prevalence
is due to the character of the food. the
.metho1 of lis preparation, Or the bastv
manner in which it is usually swallowed,
is not our province to explain. The great
iact with which We are called To deal is

LET IT BE REa;EMBERED,
first of all, that H0OFLAND'S GERMAN
6lrTERS is 40 1rum 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 prepafed by
one OF the ablest of German chemists Their
eifecth can be beneficial only in all cases of
the billtary sy5tbth. Hollands German
Dltters stand without an equal, acting
Prombtl7 aud vigorously upon the liver;

The stomach with the most Indispensable

NOW, there are certain classes ot 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

Invaluable Tonic. He has prepared m.
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
Its way TO popular favor because of its in9
