nNE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

IL is one of the most remarkable facts Of
this remarkable age, not that go many
persons are the victime of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say that any

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 MS 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

We have said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases.
This is imphatically the case in the United

reply: This great allevator of human
suffering is almost as widely known as the

They are composed wholly of the pure

Now, there are certain classes Of per-
