persons are the victime of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor. OF feels
disposed TO rank il 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 famiiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under nll 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 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

Nearly every other person you meet is
victim. an apparently willing one; were
this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when a 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 allayel the
agones of thousands, and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is

Dr. HOOFLANDS 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 1T BE EMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BITTERS is -.o 4 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, actirg

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 SUI
planting them with the elements of genuine
healthtulness.
Now, there are certain classes ot per.
sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
unpalatable bat 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 stimulant

known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Btters.
HOOFLANDS TONIC
acts with almost marvellous effect. 1t not
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

tent influence. 1t gives the Invalid new
and stronger hold upon life, removes de-
pression of spirit. and inspires cheerful
ness. But DR.. Hoofland's bencfactions to
the human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable Tonic. lie has prepared an
other medicine which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because of its in
trinsic metits. This is HOOFLANO'S
PODOPHYLLIN PILLS, a perfect slbsti-
tue for mercury without any of mercury's
evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are Intend,
ed to act upon the Liver, are mainly com
posed of Pudophyllin, or the vital princi-
pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the med-
cnal virtues of this health giving plant in
perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodophylJin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functi ms and

regular and prope' 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
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the
lower bowels. and prevents any gripping
effect, thus producing pill that influences
| the entire digestive and alimentary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely lree from nausea, vomit-
ing or gripping pains common to all other
| purgatives.
Possessing 'hese much desirable qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as II
FAMILY MEDICINE.
No household should be without them.
They are perfectly safe, require but two
for an ordinary dose, are prompt and eff
cient in action, and when used in connec-
ton with DR.. Hollands German Bitters,
or Tonic, may be regarded as certain spe-
cifcs in all cases of Liver Complaint, Dys-
pepsia, or any of the disorders to which
the system is ordidarly subject. The
POD0PHYLLIN PILLS
act upon the stomach and bowels, carrying
off improper Instructions, while the Bitters
or Tonic purify the blood, strengthen and
invigorate the frame, give tone and appe.
tite to the stomach, and thus build up the
invalid anew.
