ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

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 luxures 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,

to the mind and so positively distressing to
the body. If there is wretched being in
the world it is

fact with which we are called to deal is

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 a 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 allayed the
agonies of thousands, and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is
