Painless Regulation.

It is no longer a question of doubt—although the contrary was once believed—that medicines which produce violent effects are unsuited to other than desperate emergencies. In other words, that super-potent remedies are calculated to weaken and injure the system rather than reform its irregularities. Among medicines of debilitating effect are cathartics and cholagogues which copiously and abruptly evacuate the bowels. Because it does not do this, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is preferable to the drenching class of purgatives. Painless in its effects, it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic constipation. It relieves by invigorating the intestines, and enables, not forces, them to perform the duty imposed upon them by nature. Promoting the secretion of bile in normal quantities by its healthfully stimulating effect upon the liver, it is eminently conducive to digestion, and contributes in no small degree to keep the bowels regular.
