The Chemistry of the Stomach.

As in the most delicate processes'of the laboratory, it is essential that the re-agents employed to produce chemical changes in matter should be uncontaminated, so alsc it is imperatively necessary that the fluids of the stomach, which act chemically upon the food, should be perfectly pure. When the stomach is acid, it is because these fluids are vitiated or diluted. Similarly, other forms of indigestion arise from a deficiency of the chemical properties of the gastric Juices. The most direct and agreeable way to restore their purity and improve their quality is to take before each meal a wineglass full of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which corrects accidity, render digestion complete and painless, and overcome the constipation which it produces. The nervousness and weakness resulting from chronic dyspepsia, also disappear under its influence.
