What Constitutes a Family Medicine


A preparation which is adapted to
the relief and cure of ailments to which
members of household are most sub
ject, and which is not only alleged to
do this, but has long and unfailingly
proved its ability to do it, assuredly de-
serves the title of reliable family med
icine. Among time-horored prepare
lions, which experience and the sane
ton of the medical profession indicate
as deserving of popular regard and con-
fidence, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine adapted to to the eradica-
ton of dyspepsia, constipation and bill
iousness, the three most frequently oe-
curing ailments that vex mankind.
Derived from botanic parentage, it
is efficient as well as pure and whole
some. 1t relieves nervous disquietude
and inactivity of the kidneys, and
counteracts a tendency to rheumatism.
For renewing tagging strength and
imparting appetite it can be implicitly
relied upon. Fever and ague, rheuma-
tism and debility are remedied by it.
