OF all the multitarious 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 tie 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

Would you know more of the merits Of
this wonderful preparation than can be
learned from the experience of others?

the proprietor, then abandon faith in 1t.
LET IT BE REMEMBERED,

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 ahlest of German chemists. Their

the hillary system. Hoofands German
Bitters stand without an equal, acting

Now, there are certain classes Of per-

me human race are not confined to his
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 in
irlnSic metits. This is H0OFLAND'S
PODOPHlLLlN PILLS, a perfect substi-

| These wonderful Pills, which are Intend,

! pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi-
cinal virtues of this health giving plant in
II perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodophylIin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functions and
| causing 1t to make its hillary secretions in
| regular and proper quantities. The iniu-
| rious results which invariably follow She
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 them is
skillfully combined with four other ex-
tracts, one Of which acts upon the stomach.

the entire digestive and alimentary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner. and

purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as

off improper obstructions, while the Bitters
