we would not be understood to say that any

disposed to rank IL among the luxuries Of
life. Far from IL. Those who have ex-

him.
OF all the multifarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so
generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There

which more frequently prove fatal, but
none the effects of which are so depressing

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

DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepsr 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 REnEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN

They are composed wholly of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
not mere assertion The extracts from

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 a slight alcoholic stimulant
is required in connection with the well.
known Tonic properties Of the pure Ger

causing it to make its hillary secretions in
regular and proper quantities. The inju-
rious results which invariably follow the
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,
