MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

Ia one of the most remarkable facts Of
this remarkable age, not that so many
persons are the Victims 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-
perienced its torments would scout such an
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis
pense With its unpleasant familiarities.
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 forsaken
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 faal, 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 il 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
almost univei sally.
Nearly every other person you meet is a
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 II dys-
peptic: What is this remedy? tl which we
reply: This great allevator of human
suffering is almost as widely known as the
English language. it has allayel the
ngonies of thousands. and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others This acknowledged pdnacea is

DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more O. 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 REnEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is 4J Irum beverage,
They arc composed wholly Of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots This is
not mere assertion The extracts from
which tliey are com rtpounded arc prepared by
one of the ablest of German chemists. Their
effects can he beneficial only in all case of
the hillary system. Hoonlnd's German
Bitters stand without an equal. actirg
promptly and vigorously upon tho liver:
they remove its torpidity AMI 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 ;. all hurtful impurities and su
planting them with the elements of genuine
healthfuncss.
Now, there arc certain classes dt per-
sons to whom extreme Bittcrs are not only
unpalatable, bat who find it impossible to
take them without positive discomfort. For
such DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where slight alcoholic stimuant
is required in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.
HOOFLAND'S TONIC
acts with almost marvellous effect II not
only stimulates the tagging and wasting
energies, bot invigorates and permanently
strengthens its action upon the Liver
and Stomach thorough, perhaps less
prompt than the Bitters. when the same
quantity is taken is none the less certain.
indigestion, Dilliousncss, Physical or Ner-
vous prostration, yield readily to its po-
tent influence. II gives the Invalid new
and stronger hold upon life, removes de-
pression of spirit. and inspires cheerful.
ness But Dir. Hollands benefactions to
the human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an
other mcdicne, which is rapidly winning
| its way to popular favor because Of its in
trinsic metits. This Is HOOFLAND'S
| PODOPIYLLIN PILLS, perfect subsi-
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-
cinal virtues of this health giving plant in
a perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodophylIin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functi ms and
causing it to make lis hillary secretions in
regular and proper quantities. The inju-
rious results which invariably follow the
use 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 tn EN- is
| 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 pill that influences
the entire digestive and alimentary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely free from nausea, vomit-
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 connec-
ton with DR.. Hoofands German Bitters,
or Tonic, may be regarded as certain spe-
cifcs 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
off improper distractions, while the Bitters
or Tonic purify the blood, strengthen and
invigorate the frame, give tone and appe.
| tite to the stomach, and thus build up the
invalid anew.
