VV0w HosTETTER's BlTTERs CURE

ON HeSIETTER 5 BiTTEkS CU hE
1 DYSPEPSiA.-THE WHOLE STORY IL A
NGrsHEIL. The Office OF the stomach is to convert
the food into a cream-iike semi fluid, called
oEYME. This is effected partly by the action OF
solvent. called the gastric juice, which eXude
from the coating 0fthe stomach, and partly by
mechanical movement of that organ, which
churns, as it were, the diss0lving aliment The
chvme passes from the stomach into the duode-
num- or entrance to the bowels, whore it is sub
,ected to the action Of The bile a.d the nutritious
portion OF it convert d into fluid called chyle
which eventually becomes blood
Now it is evident that If the great solvent the
gastric juice, is not pro3Uced in sufficient guam
tty, or ii the mechanical action of the stomach Is
not sufficiently brisk, the first process Of digestion
will be but impertectly performed. 1t is also clear
that if the Ii err, which PLAYS such an important
part in changing the nourishng portion OF the
chvme INFO the material Of the blood is congested,
or in any unnatural condition. the second process
will not be thoroughly accom-! lished. The result
of the two failures is dyspepsia complicated with
biiiousness.
The mode in which Hostetter's Bitters operate
in such cases is this: they lnvignrate the cellular
membrane OF the stomach, which evolves the gas
trio juice. thereby insuling an ample su:tciency
of the fnid to completely disstlyethe iood- They
also act upon the nerves OF the stomach, cau,ing
an acceleration of the mechanical movement ne
c'ssafy to reduce the food to homogeneous mass.
They also act specifically upon the liver, strength
| eni1g it, and so enabling it to produce an ample
and regular supply OF bile. for the purpose OF
/ converting the nutritious particles Of the chvme
| into chyle. and promote the passage through the
| bowels OF the useless de ris.
In this way Hostetter's Bitters cure dyspepsia
and live c~nplaiat. The explanation is plain,
] simple, phlosophi CAL and true. nov 4
