Healthful Hints
That"Angostura"is, in itself, a boon to health
is proved by the hearty word of support given to
it by the medical profession.
Here is a letter, typical of m^y and many another,
sent to us by a leading practitioner:
"Permit me to express to you my appreciation of
"the value and usefulness of your Bitters which
"have been of inestimable service to me in thou-
"sands of cases of illnesses during the 15 years
"since I have been practising. I never go without
" 'Angostura' and no home should be without it.
"It often is a panacea."
When the virtues of"Angostura"in the eradi
cation of physical discomfort are known, when
"Angostura's" beneficent eflfea on the general
health is experienced—the following uses will be
appreciated as fully as they deserve.
"Angostura,"the tonic properties ofwhich add such
flavour and zest to social drinks, can safely and
beneficially be employed as a domestic cordial.
Here are some of the uses discovered, and profited
by, through the 100 years of"Angostura's"life.
GENERAL TONIC.—Angostura Bitters are of
great value as a tonic where the vitality is a little
low and a toning up is necessary. Taken with a
little fruit juice before meals"Angostnra"has a
marked action on the appetite and digestion.
COLDS.—When wet or cold a chill can often be
warded off if a tablespoonful of"Angostura"is
taken in half a cup of warm water, sweetened to
taste. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water before
adding the"Angostura."
INFLUENZA.—Taken in the same way as for
colds,"Angostura" is decidedly beneficial in
lessening the lowering efiect of this malady.
PAIN.—A valuable use of"Angostura," known to
ladies is the alleviation of internal pain which
may occur at certain times. A teaspoonful to a
tablespoonful of"Angostura"m warm sweetened
water is very comforting. In obstinate cases great
relief can be obtained by repeating the dose once
or twice at half hourly intervals.
