A Medicine Should not be Gauged

By tho suddenness and violence of its effects. Self-evident as this proposition would seem, there are many foolish persons who are content only with a remedy which acts abruptly. The pill and other nostrum-venders who trade upon the credulity of this class find their “best holt,” as poor Artemus Ward termed it, in the sale of violent purgatives. So long as they wrench the bowels of their dupes sufficiently, they are pretty sure of a certain measure of success. If, instead of such pernicious rubbish, Hostetter’s stomach Bitters is used, the results are widely different. The bowels are relie7ed, but always gently, by this pleasant laxative, which does not weaken, but invigora es them, and endows the co-operative organs of digestion and bilious secretion with activity and regularity, strengthens the constitution and physique, aud, while it is safe in its constituents, is sufficiently prompt in operation.
