ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.


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 fatal, but
none the effects of which are so depressing
to the mind and so positively distressing to
the body. If there is a 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 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:
DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almost univei sally.
Nearly every other person you meet is
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 il? But says 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

Dr. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more Of 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 REmEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BITTERS is .o rum 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 abest 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 it's torpidity and cause health
full 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 of 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
unpalatable, but 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 TONlC
acts with almost marvellous effect 1t moi
only stimulates the tagging and wasting
energies, but invigorates and permanently
strengthens it's 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, Billiousness, Physical or Ner
vous prostration, yield readily to its po
tent influence. 1t gives the Invalid new
and stronger hold upon life, removes de
preston of spirit. and inspires cheerful
ness. But DR.. Hoofland's benefactions tC
the human race are not confined to hi'
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or hi!
invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because Of its in
trinsic metits. This is HOOFLAND's
POD0PHYLLIN PILLS, a perfect substi
tute for mercury without any of mercury
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 il
perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodophylIin acts directly o.
the Liver, stimulating its functions an
!, causing it to make its hillary secretions il
J regular aud proper quantities. The inju
rious results which invariably follow tn
, use of mercury is entirely avoided b.
their use. But it is not upon the Live
only that their powers are exerted. Th
extract of Mandrake contained in them
; skillfully combined with four other eS
|, tracts, one of which acts upon the stomach
one upon the upper bowels, one upon tn
I lower bowels. and prevents any gripip

J the entire digestive and alimentary system
in an equal and harmonious manner, an
its action entirely free from nausea, vomi
ing or gripping pains common to all othC

: Possessing these much desirable qualiti'
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as
