Healthful Hints (contd.)
ERRORS IN DIET: A tablespoonful of Angos
tura Bitters with a little sweetened water will do
much to relieve ill effects following the partaking
ofunusual,heavy or rich foods.
FLATULENCE: To counteract this and allied
troubles, try i to 2 tablespoonfiils of Angostura
Bitters in half a cup of previously sweetened warm
water. Acute abdominal pains arising from similar
causes can often be removed by this simple, handy
remedy.
COLIC: Used in addition to the treatment
necessary and prescribed by the medical adviser,
an equal quantity of"Angostura"and sweetened
hot water will afford speedy relief and will stimu
late the return of energy.
DYSENTERY: Those who have resided or are
about to reside in tropical countries will be all the
better armed by a knowledge of"Angostura's"
helpful effect.
The following letter is illuminating:
"It may be of interest if I tell you that some
"years ago in India I was cured by your Bitters
"of a severe attack of what I knew afterwards
"to have been dysentery, and I was fortimate in
"having the bottle in my sideboard, as it was past
"midnight. I was alone in my brmgalow and
"medical help was miles away. I took one dessert-
"spoonful and I had no further trouble."
MALARIA,in the first stages,can often be success
fully combated by taking a liberal draught of
*' Angostura"and hot water. During all stages
"Angostura," combined with sugar, forms an
excellent"mask"for the flavour of quinine.
SEA-SICKNESS: While there is no specific
for this afldiction, a little "Angostura" and
sweetened tepid water or fruit juice, taken before
meals on board, will frequently prove an effective
preventive—and almost invariably"Angostura"
taken in this way will definitely reduce the ill
after-effects if sea-sickness should be contracted.
