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 1uxuries Of
life. Far from it. Those who have ex-
perienced its torments would scout such ar
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant familiarites.
Mark Tapley. who was jolly under all the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his jolity would have speedily forsakcn
him.
Of all the multifarious 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 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 imphatically 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:

DIR. H0OFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepaI Iation than can be
learned from the experience of others?
Try il 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 HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
8lTFERS is 80 irum beverage.
They are composed wholly of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
not a mere assertion The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared by
one Of the ab!est of German chemists. Their
effects can be beneficial only in all cases Of
the hillary system. Hoofand's German
Bitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the liver;
they remove its torpidity and cause health
fu secretion of bile-thereby supplying
tho stomach with the most indispensable
elements OF 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
healthfulness
Now, there are certain classes Of per-
sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
unpalatablc, but who find it impossible to
take them without positive discomfort. For
such DR.. H0OFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where slight alcoholic stimulant
is required in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.

ness. But DR.. Hoofland's benefactions to
the human race are not confined To bis
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable TONIC. He has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly Winning
its way to popular favor because of its i'm
trinsic metits. This is HOOFLAND'S
PODOPlIYLLIN PILLS, perfect substi-
tute for mercury without any of mercury's
evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are Intend.
ed to act upon the Liver, are mainly com.
posed of Podophyllin, or the vital princi-
pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi-
cinai virtues of this health giving plant in
y a perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodophylIin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functi ma and
causing it to make its hillary secretions in
regular and proper quantities. The iniu-
rious results which Invariably follow SSe
: use Of mercury is entirely avoided bv
their use. But it is not upon the Liver
only that their powers are exerted. The
extract of Mandrake contained in them ia
skillfully combined with four other ex-
tracts, one of which acts Upon the stomach.
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the
lowef bowels. and prevents any gripiup
effect, thus producing pill that influences
the entire digestive and alimentary system
in an equal and harmonious manner. and
its action entirely free from nausea, yomit-
ing or gripping pains common to all other
purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable Qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as
FAMILY MEDICINE.
No household should be without them.
They are perfectly safe, require but two
for an ordinary dose, are prompt and eff
cient in action, and when used in conneo-
ton with DR.. Hoofaud's German Bitters
or Tonic, may be regarded as certain spe-
cities in all cases of Liver Complaint, Dys-
pepsia, or any of the disorders to which
the system is ordidarly subject. The
POD0PHYLLIN PILLS
act upon the stomach and bowels, CARRYING
of improper Instructions, while the Bitters
or Tonic purify the blood, strengthen and
pvigorate the frame, give tone and anne.
tite to the stomach, and thus build up The
invalid anew.
DR.. Hoofand, having provided interna
remedies for disease, has given the world
one mainly for external application, in ths
wonderful preparation known as
