The Stinging Sensation

In the gullet known as heartburn, is such a common source of annoyance that it deserves something more than casual mention as an incident of dyspepsia. Its direct cansc, so far as is known, is the evolution of gas in the stomach, which rising in the throat bears with it particles of undigested food mingled with vitiated gastric juice. The acid of tho latter stings the membrane as it rises. For this invariable and most unpleasant manifestation of dyspepsia, Hostetter’s Stomach Bif.ers is an infallible remedy. it shou.d be taken before meals, when it not only promotes the secretion of gastric juice and prepares the stomach for the reception of food, but gives a hearty relish tor the latter. It must not be supposed that its ccjasbinal use will remove the cause of this symptom. Chronic dyspepsia is an obstinate malady, and requires time to remove. Whether taken to obviate this, or for fever and ague, rheumatism or constipation, use the Bitters per -isteutly. It takes only about two seconds to get up a duel.
