The original formula was about 47% alcohol -- 94 Proof! The amount of alcohol was so high that it was served in Alaskan saloons by the glass. Hostetter sweetened the alcohol with sugar to which he added a few aromatic oils anise, coriander, etc. And vegetable bitters cinchona, gentian, etc.

To give it a medicinal flavor. From 1954 to 1958, when it was no longer marketed, the product was known as Hostetter Tonic. The Hostetter's Bitters bottle illustrated with the Medicine Bottle Index was recovered in 1987 by a Midwest Archeological Center team from a privy pit at Fort Union Trading Stie. Fort Union was an American Fur Co. The small, plank-lined privy pit was located in the fenced yard behind the Bourgeois (fort manager) House.

Other notable artifacts recovered from the feature include a second bitters bottle, a pair of men's boots, a pair of children's shoes soles, and an undecorated plate base marked G. At 95 cm (3 ft 2 in) below the top of the privy, a complicated series of leather and bead layers were discovered in the north and east portions of the pit. Four distinct bead patterns were identified including chevrons, tulips, rosettes, and linear designs. Linear bead bands and rosettes were associated with desiccated remains of moccasins.

Although attempts were made to recover the beaded patterns intact, these efforts were largely unsuccessful. Nevertheless, photographs of the beads in situ may allow for the ethnic affiliation of the maker to be determined at some point in the future.

Together, the artifacts suggest the privy was probably in use after 1860 during the last years of Fort Union's existence.
