Grave Cause for Anxiety

Exists when the kidneys lose their activity.
Prompt measures should be taken to renew it,
otherwise Brights disease, diabetes, or some 9th
er organic trouble, is to be apprehended as a
consequence. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
most desirable diuretic, as its stimulative action
upon these organs never crosses the border line
of safety and merges into irritation, as do many
stimulants used for the same purpose by the
careless and uninstructed. The stimuli of com
merce, fiery and nmedicated, are not suitable
corrective agents in case like this. They excite
without producing a permanently desirable re
suit. The 'just medium" between them and an
Intellectual diuretic is the Bitters which is also
specific for malarial complaints, dyspepsia, con-
stipation and rheumatism.
