The Revolution

In medical practice, which has taken place within the paat thirty years, has been very marked. When Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters first made their appearance, violent purgation, the lancet and narcotics were measures resorted to with little regard to the idiosyncrasies of the sick. Now infinitely more satisfactory results are accomplished with the Bitters. The constipated are no longer dosed and drenched, the feverstricken are not weakened by bleeding, and sedatives have taken the place of opiates. Dyspepsia, nervousness, insomnia, irregularity of the bowels, rheumatism, and chills and fever, are successfully treated with this popular tonic and regulator. As a medicated stimulant, it is professionally commended, and is preferable, as a means of renewing exhausted energy, to the average tonics. These statements rest upon ample evidence.
