Description: Dr J Hostetters Stomach Bitters amber bottle,embossed, has a line under the R in Dr. Has a sloping collar finish. Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters emerged on the market in 1853, sold as a medicinal tonic. Its high alcohol content, tipping the scales at a whopping 47 percent, was promoted as a vital ingredient to preserve its medicinal properties. The production increased when the War Department authorized its distribution to the Union Army. When the fighting was over, the Hostetter appeal remained strong, later losing popularity when its alcohol content was substantially reduced with the passage of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. An awesome bottle to add to your Bitters Collection!
