Not Symptoms, bat tUe Disease.
It would seem to be a truth
appreciable by ail, and especially
by professors of the healing art,
that to remove the disease, not to
alleviate its symptoms, should be
the chief aim of medication. Yet
in how many instances do wc see
this truth admitted in theory,
gnored in practice. The reason
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is successful in so many cases,
with which remedies previously
tried were inadequate to cope, is
attributable to the fact that it is a
medieine which reachers and re
moves the causes of the various
maladies to which it is adapted.
Indigestion, fever and ague, liver
complaint, gout, rheumatism,
disorder of the bowels, urinary
affections and other maladies are
not palliated merely, but rooted
out by it, It goes to the fountain
head. It is really, not nominally,
a radical remedy, and it endow
