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 az
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 multifarous diseases to which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one 30
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
to the mind aud 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.

manner in which it is usually swallowed,

Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepar alton than can be
learned from the experience Of others!
Try it yourself, and when it has failed to
lulhl the assurance of its efficacy given by
the proprietor, then abandon faith in 1t.
LET 1T BE REMEMBERED,
first of oil, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BlTTERS is -o srum 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 eases Of
the hillary system. Hoofand's German
Bitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the liver;
they remove its torpidity and cause health

the stomach with the most indispensable
elements of sound digestion in proper pro-
portions.
They purify the blood, cleansing the

planting them with the elements of genuine

Now, there are certain classes of per-

unpalatable, but who find it impossible to
take them without positive discomfort For

the human race are not confined to his
