ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

ANE MlLLlON Uf LIVES SAVED.
is one of the most remarkable facts o
this remarkable age, not that so many
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 it. Those who have ex-
'pe,ienced its tormcnts would scout such ar
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis.
'pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
Mark Tapey, who was jolly under NIL the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed. never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his jolty would have speedily forsaken
him
Of all the multifarous diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so
generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There
are disc Uses 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 a wretched being in
the world it is
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
this:

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 allayei the
ngonies of thousands, and is to-day carry

DR.. H0OFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful preparation 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
'hS proprietor, luel dOuHuOn Ialun IN IL.
LET 1T BE REMEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
B1TTERS is .o 4 rum beverage.
They are composed wholly Of the pure
juice or vital principle of roots. This is
| nota 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. Hollands German
Bitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the liver;
they remove its torpidity and cause health
tul 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 huid '.all hurtful impurities and su-
planting them with the elements of genuine
healihfuiness.
Now, there are certain classes of per-
sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
| unpaldtable, 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 q slight alcoholic stimulant

the human race are not confined To bis
celebrated GERMAN BIfTERS, or his
Invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because of its in.

PODOPHILLIN PILLS, perfect substi-
tute 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
a 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 and proper quantities. The ipiu-
rious results which invariably follow she
use of mercury is entirely avoided bv
their use. But it is not upon the Liver
only that their powers are exerted. The
extract of Mandrake contained in the ia
| 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 pripipo
effect, thus producing pill that influences
the entire digestive and almentary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely free from nausea, vomit-
ing or gripping pains common to all other
purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable Qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as

They are perfectly safe, require but two
