MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.

this remarkable age, not that 80 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.
perenccd its torments would scout such ar
idea. All dread it. and would gladly dis
pensc 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
or all the multifarious diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one SO
generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There
are disc elses more acute and painful, and
which more frequently prove fatal, but
none the effects of which are so depressing
TO tie mind and so positively distressing to
the body. If there is 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 8

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

DR.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful preparatio 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 REMEMBERED,
first of all, that HO0FLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is ~o arum 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. Hoofand's German
Bittcrs 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 ct sound digestion in proper pro-
portions.
They purify the blood, cleansing the
vital fluid all hurtful impurities and su-
planting them with the elements of genuine
healthfulness.
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
for use where a slight alcoholic stimulant
ID required in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger
man Bitters.
HOOFLAND'S TONIC
acts with almost marvellous effect. 1t not
only stimulates the tagging and wasting
energies, but invigorates and permanentlv
strengthens its action upon the Liver
and Stomach thorough, perhaps less
prompt than the Bittcrs, when the same
quantity is taken is none the less certain.
indigestion, Billiousness, Physical or Ner-
vous prostration, yield readily to its no.
tent influence. 1t gives the invalid a new
and stronger hold upon life, removes de-
pression of spirit. and inspires cheerful.
ness. But DR.. Hoofland's benefactions to
the human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN DITTERS, or hi,
invaluable Tonic. He has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its way to popular favor because of its in
trinsic metits. This is HOOFLAND'S
PODOPllYLLIN PILLS, perfect substi-
tute for mercury without any of mercury's
evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills. which are Intend
cd to act upon the Liver, are mainly com.
posed of Podophylin, or the vital princi-
pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi-
cinal virtues of this health giving plant in
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 inju-
rious results which invariably follow ;he
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 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 gripping
effect, thus producing pill that influences
the entire digestive and alimentary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely free from nausea, yomit-
ing or gripping pains common to all other
purgatives.
