ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.


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. 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 familiarities
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 multifariods diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one so
generally prevalent rs dyspepsia. There
are disc lses 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
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 tho 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:

Dir. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more o. 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
the proprietor, then abandon faith in 1t.
LET IT BE REmEMBERED,
first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BlITERS is - 5rum 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. Hootl lnd's German
Bitters stand without an equal, acting

the stomach with the most Indispensable
elements ct sound digestion in proper pro-
portions.
They purify the blood, cleansing the
vital fluid }, all hurtful impurities and SUI
planting them with the elements of genuine
healthtulness.
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

ness. But DR.. Hocfland's benefactions to
the human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable Tonic. Iio has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its way TO popular favor because of its in
trinsic metts. This is HOOFLAND'S
PODOPHYLLIN PILLS, perfect suhsti-
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 Podophyllin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functions and
causing it to make its hillary secretions in
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 exertcd. 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 tree from nausea, vomt-
ing or gripping pains common to all other
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
cent in action, and when used in connec-
ton with DR.. Hoofand's 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 distractions, while the Bitters |
or Tonic purify the blood, strengthen and
invigorate the frame, give tone and appe.
lite to the stomach, and thus build up the
invalid anew.
DR.. Hoofand, having provided internal
remedies for disease, has given the world |
