ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

~
II is one of the most remarkable facts O.
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 familiarites.
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 aud so positively distressing to
the body. If there is a 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 univel sally.
Nearly every other person you meet is a
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 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 allayel the
agonies of thousands, and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is
noLe other than
DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepaI 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 IT BE REMEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOPLAND'S GERMAN
B1TTERS is .J 9rum 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 eau be beneficial only in all cases of
the hillary system. Hooaand'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 the
vital fluid Of ali hurtful impurities and SUI
planting them with the elements of genuine
hcalthtulness.
Now, there are certain classes Of per-
sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
unpalatable, but who fiud it impossible to
take them without positive discomfort. For
such DR.. IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where slight alcoholic stimulant
is required in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.
HOOFLAND'S TONIC
acts with almost marvellous effect. 1t not
only stimulates the tagging and wasting
energies, but invigorates and permanently
strengthens its action upon the Liver
md 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-
ent influence. 1t gives the invalid a new
and stronger hold upon life, removes de-
Dressioh of spirit. and inspires cheerful.
less. But DR.. Hoofland's benefactions to
he human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable ToNIc. He has prepared an
,ther medicine, which is rapid y winning
is way to popular favor because of its in
rinsic metits. This is HOOFLAND'S
PILLS, a perfect suhsti
ute for mercury without any of mercury's
.vil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are Intend. |
I'd to act upon the Liver, are mainly com
'osed of Podophyllin, or the vital princi- |
lie OF the mandrake root. 1t is the medi- |
inal virtues of this health giving plant in |
perfectly pure and highly concentrated |
orm. The PodophylIin acts directly on
he Liver, stimulating its functions and
ausing it to make its hillary secretions in |
egular and proper quantities. The iniu-
ious results which invariably follow the
se of mercury is entirely avoided by
heir use. But it is not upon the Liver
My that their powers are exerted. The
xtract of Mandrake contained in them is
killfully combined with four other ex-
racts, one of which acts upon the stomach,
ne upon the upper bowels, one upon the
'wer bowels, and prevents any gripping
feet, thus producing pill that influences
ne entire digestive and alimen.ary system,
