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.

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

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 il is usually swallowed,
is not our province to explain. The great
fnct with which we are called to deal is

Dir. 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 1T BE REV. EMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is 40 srum beverage.
They are composed wholly Of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
rot 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. HooHand's German
Bitters stand without an equal, acting
| promptly and vigorously upon The liver:
! they remove its torpidity and cause health
| ful secretion Of bile-thereby supplying
the stomach with the most indispensable
clements 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
healthiulness.
Now, there are certain classes Of per-
sous 10 whom extreme Bitter. are not only
unpalatable, but who find it impossible tc
take them without positive discomfort. For
such DR.. iIOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended

invaluable TOEIC. lie has prepared an,
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because Of its in.
rinsic metits. This is HOOFLANU'S
| PODOPIlYLLIN PILLS, perfect substi-
lute 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 Podophyllin, or the vital princi-
| pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi-
cinal virtues Of this health giving plant in
n perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The PodOphylIin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functions and
causing it to make its hillary secretions in
regular aud 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,
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the
lower bowels. and prevents any gripping
effect, thus producing pill that influences
| the entire digestive and alimen airy system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
It's action entirely free from nausea, vomit-
ing or gripping pains common 20 all other
purgatiycs.
Possessing these much desirable qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as
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-
I ton with DR.. Hoofand's German Bitters,
or Tonic, may be regarded as certain spe-
ciics 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 distractions, 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.
