When They Leave Us,

The exodus of our bodily troubles is doubly welcome if their departure is unaccompanied by pain. It is the fault of the best of commendable cathartics, which act solely upon the bowels, that in operating they gripe and weaken these organs. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters produce a laxative effect, but neither cause pain nor weaken the abdominal region or the stomach. This is pre-eminently the alterative which a constipated, bilious or dyspeptic person should use, since a resort to it involves no bodily discomfort nor produces a violent reaction. The liver is aroused, the stomach benefited, and the habit of body speedily and permanently improved by it. Fever and ague, rheumatism and kidney troubles are among the maladies for which recorded experience has proved it to be efficacious. It is a wholesome appetizer, and a far more reliable tranquillizer of the nerves than stomach-disturbing narcotics and sedatives.
