In the stomach and bowels produced by a
violent purgative and its consequent drenching
action, never are, because it is impossible they
should be, followed by permanent good effects.
No specific which weakens and convuses the
organs for whose relief it is used can do good.
Blue pills, calomel, podyphylin, salts and SEN
drastic remedies generally void of benefit. A
reliable and effective substitute for them is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which effects a
change both natural and thorough in the bowels
regular secretion of bile by the liver and sound
digestion are also promoted by its use: Malar-
ia in all its forms, rheumatism and kidney
trouble are obviated by this fine reformer OF
disordered conditions of the system. A wine
glassful three times a day is about the dose.
