Advertisement for Guy's Tonic, 1898. 'Is Hunger the Best Sauce? It Depends on Digestion...Sancho Panza, the squire of the redoubtable Don Quixote,...says, "Hunger is the best sauce, and as that is never wanting to the poor, they always eat with a relish"...the promptings of Nature tell us very plainly that without food to make new life the body must waste away...Guy's Tonic does good, because it has qualities akin to the Gastric Juice, and with which it unites and so strengthens, that natural and easy Digestion is performed. You feel better at once after using Guy's Tonic, you enjoy your food more, and you get more nourishment and invigorative force out of what you eat...makes you strong, vigorous, and cheerful. Then...the Liver was invigorated to abstract biliary poisons from the Blood, and the Blood became, as a consequence, sweeter, purer, and more swift in flow. Finally, the processes of Absorption and Assimilation were strengthened, so that the creative power of the body could turn the digested food into sound flesh and vigorous health. A healthy Appetite for food would then be created, and, thanks to the aid of Guy's Tonic, the power to digest the food taken. Health, Strength, and Nerve Force follow as a matter of course.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
