Astrology 062 - Zodiac Man 17 - 1878 Almanac

The Man of Signs or zodiac man diagrams in almanacs associated body parts with astrological signs and calendar dates. This 1878 example promoted Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters throughout its forty-pages. Multiple articles promoted their product for unsettled nerves, insomnia, constipation, fever prevention, indigestion, biliousness, liver complaints, rheumatism, and as a safeguard against illness while traveling. Bitters usually contained water, alcohol, and bad tasting herbs.
