It promotes Hostelter Stomach Hitters as a leading tonic aiding digestion sleep nerves and preventing disease, then shifts to an oath about Frank J Cheney Co and Hall's Catarrh Cure with claims of cure testimonials and notary attestations. The piece ends with a comment on organizing a trust versus trusting organizers.
