ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED,


persons are the victima 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 IL. 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 30 positively distressing to
the BODY. If there is q 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
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 q
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 q 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 allayeds the
agonies of thousands, and is 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 prepar alton 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 oil, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
| BITTERS is al a rum beverage.
They are composed wholly of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
not mere assertion. The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared by
one of the ablest 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 its 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 tn,
vital fluid of all hurtful impurities and SUI
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 t.
take them without positive discomfort Fo

has been specially prepared. 1t is intende,
for use where slight alcoholic stimulan
is required in connection with the well
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.
HOOFLAND's TONIC

energies, but invigorates and permanent,

the human race are not confined to hi
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or hi
invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winnin
its way to popular favor because of its in
trinsc metits. This is HOOFLAND'i
PODOPHYLLIN PILLS, a perfect substi

These wonderful Pills, which are Intend

pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi

perfectly pure and highly concentrate
form. The PodophylIin acts directly o
the Liver, stimulating its functions an
causing it to make its hillary secretions i
regular and proper quantities. The inju
