National Stress Awareness Day

Tax season is over, for most of us at least.

I found some old-time "cures" for what might ail you.
Take it easy, these might be potent!



"Brain Troubles, Headaches, Sea Sickness, Nervous Debility, Sleeplessness, Excessive Study Mania, Over Brainwork, etc etc"



1946

"Don't add to the upset of an upset stomach with overdoses of atacids or harsh physics . . . Take soothing PEPTO-BISMOL.
"This pleasant-tasting preparation is neither an atacid nor a laxative.  Its action is different.  It spreads a soothing, protective coating on irritated stomach and intestinal walls . . . thus helping to calm and quiet common digestive upsets."

"Hutching's Dispepsia Bitters:
The most popular family medicine of the age, used by physicians of high standing.

"These bitters remove all morbid secretions, purify the blood, give great tone and vigor to the digestive organs, fortify the system against all future disease, can be taken with safety, at no time debilitating the patient - being grateful to the most delicate stomach, and remarkable for their cheering, invigorating, strengthening and restorative properties, and invaluable and sure remedy for the
DYSPEPSIA IN ITS WORST FORMS.

Dyspepsia, or indigestion, is the prevailing malady of civilized life.

There is more misery entailed upon the human race by the disorders that belong to eating and drinking, than perhaps any other.

"This disorder, Dyspepsia, have been the medium through which the public have been practiced upon for years, in the shape of innumerable vile nostrums, prepared and sold by persons who, in a majority of cases, are totally unacquainted with the maladies to which the human system is subjected.

"This very common disorder consists generally of a want of appetite, a sudden and transient distention of the stomach, eructations of various kinds, heart-burn, pyrosis, pain in the region of the stomach, perhaps vomiting, rumbling noise in the bowels, and frequent costiveness and diarrhea.

A long train of nervous disorders are also frequent attendants, as palpitations, impaired sight and hearing, with great mental despondency, severe pains in the head, etc.

"These BITTERS are strongly recommended to all persons laboring under this distressing complaint, and more especially to such persons as lead a sedentary life; for their manner of living is in every way calculated to produce Dyspepsia.

The great virtue of these BITTERS consists in their powerful restorative qualities - their ability to restore the tone of the chlyossietic viscera and invigorate the general system.

That most harassing and distressing feeling which affects the stomach is at once relieved, all morbid secretions expelled, and the general inflammatory action reduced.

and all other diseases caused by an impaired state of THE BLOOD, LIVER, etc, which lend to debilitate and weaken the system.

INESTIMABLE VALUE"

As long as I'm on this journey, rambling through life's exhilarating highs and trudging heavily amongst it's incapacitating lows, I might as well share whatever may be gleaned from my little bits of wisdom and my many missteps. No room for judgment from this broken mama. I'm writing from my heart: raw, open, messy, but saved. And I'm still thanking God!
