ONE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

1t is one of the most remarkable facts of
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 familiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his iolity 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 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

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 a 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 allayet the
agOnies of thousands. and is today carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is
