Beware

Of violent purgatives. They must inevitably impair the well-being of the system, if much used. Irregularity of the bowels is remediable without their aid, and they enfeeble those organs. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are not only a laxative, but a tonic. No subsequent medication is needed as in the case of powerful cathartics, to repair the violence of their effects. Blue pill and calomel are never safe in the long run. and there are other medicines taken to regulate the liver and bowels, which are hurtful to both. Long experience has proved the Bitters to be safe and salutary as well as potent. They brace up the system when enfeebled, thus guarding it from disease (particularly malarial complaints), remedy the weakness and inactivity of a dyspeptic stomach, improve appetite, and tend to tranquilize overtaxed nerves. They have also won repute as a remedy for rheumatism and kidney troubles.
