low uostetter's Bitiers cure Dyspepsia
THE WHOLE STORY Is NUTSHELL
The office Of the stomach is 10 convert the
cod into cream like semi fluid, called
CHYNF. This is effected partly by the action
Of solvent, called the gastric juice. which
-xudes from the coating Of the stomach, and
partly by mechanical movement Of that
organ, which cH1uns, as it were, the dissolr-
ing aIiment. The CHyNE passes from the
.tomach into the duodenum, or entrance 10
The bowels, where 1t is subjected TO the action
of the bile, aud the nutritious portion OF it
converted into Huid called Cbylc, which
-ve,,,,stly becomes blood.
Now. it is evident that if the great solvent,
he gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient
quantity. or if the mechanical action Of the
.tomach is not sufficiently brisk. the first
process of digestion will be but jmperfectly
,erformed 1t is also clear that if the liver
which plays such an imPortan, part in chang
ng the uourishing portion Of the chyme into
The mater sal Of the blood, IS coDgested, or in
any unnatural condition, the second process
sil not be thoroughly accomplished. The
result of the tro failures is dyspepsia, com
.hca,ed Wjth Jiiiousaess
The mode in which HOSTETIER'S BIT
rE8S operate in such cases is this: they in.
yigorate the cellular membrane Of the
stomach, which evolves the gastric juice.
thereby insuring an ample suficiency of the
luid to completely dissolve the food. They
also act upon the nerves of the stomach,
causing an accelera'ion of the mechanical
movement necessary TO reduce the food to a
! homogeneous mass. They also act specifically
upon the liver, Strengthening il, and so ena-
bling it TO produce an ample and regular sup
ply of bile for the purpose of converting the
nutritious particles of the CHyme into Chyie.
