Reasoning from a Sound Text.

Say the doctors—and who shall say them, nay ? —a special predisposition seems requisite to the development of rheumatism. Where there is this tendency, most of us know from observation what a deep hold disease takes when once incurred and neglected for a short time. Is not this a sound text, then, from which to advocate the early use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters in a malady so hard to dislodge as rheumatism ? Another thing. It is well ascertained that a falling off in vigor, resulting from indigestion and mal-nutrition, increases liability to rheumatism. then, is more likely to act as a preventive—aside from its remedial action—than this potent rectifier of the gastric troubles that increase the rheumatic tendency. Malaria, constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness, sleeplessness, nervousness, debility and kidney troubles succumb to this genial preventive and remedy.
