THE WHOLE STORY INA NIIrs


The Office of the stomach is to convert the food
into q eream-like sem-fuid, called CHYME This
is effected partly by the action of solvent, called
the gastric juice, which exudes from the coating
of the stomach, and partly by mechanical
movement ofthat organ, which chu1ns, as it were,
the dissolving aliment. The CHYME passes from
the stomach into the duodenum, or entrance to
the bowels where it is subjected to the action OF
the bile and the nutritious portion of it convert
ed into fluid called Csyle which eventually be-
comes blood r.rss as.z. .se- j
Now, it is evident that if the great solvent, the
gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient guam
tity, or if the mechanical action of the stomach
is not sufficiently brisk, the first process of diges-
ton will be but imperfectly performed 1t is al.
so clear that if the liver which plays such an
important part in changing the nourishing por-
tion of the chyme into the material of the blood,
iscongested, or in any unnatural condition, the
second process will not be thoroughly accom-
plished The result of the taoo failures is dyspep-
STA, complicated with biIiousness.
The mode in which HOSTETTERS BITTERS
operate in such cases is this they invigorate the
cellular membrane of the stomach, which evolves
the gastric juice, thereby insuring an ample suf-
feiency of the fluid to completely dissolve the
ach, causing an aeceleration of the mechanical
movement necessary to reduce the food to a ho-
mogeneous mass They also act specifically up
on the liver, strengthening it, and SO enabling it
reproduce an ample and regular supply of bile
for the purpose of converting the nutritious par
ticles Of the Chync into Chyte and promote the
passage through the bowels of the useless debris.
In this way, HOSTETTERS BITTERS cure
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The explanation
Is plain, simple, philosophical, and tTae. n23
