In the same circular, its promiscuous use is invited in these terms:
“Owing to its palatability, Sal Hepatica is particularly well adapted to the requirements of childhood or the feeble and delicate.”
Further suggesting its use in the treatment of that popular, if somewhat vague ailment, “biliousness,” we read:
“It is especially valuable where there is intestinal sluggishness arising from functional derangements of the liver or portal circulation....”
As further suggestive of its all-around “goodness,” are the claims:
“It increases the appetite and promotes digestion by stimulating the flow of gastric juice.”
“In rheumatism and gout Sal Hepatica furnishes the physician with an ideal eliminant, usually affording prompt relief.”
The label on the Sal Hepatica bottle suggests—both to physicians and to the public—its use in the following diseases and conditions:
“Derangements of the stomach and liver.”
“Affections of the kidneys.”
“Bilious attacks.”
“‘Summer complaints,’ colic and alcoholic excesses.”
“Headache, dizziness, heartburn and seasickness.”
“Acute indigestion.”
“Gastric, hepatic and renal disorders.”
“Especially beneficial in rheumatism and gout.”
