The Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourtbB ol
all of our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suffer
ing pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons,
because their food does them no good,
they have devoted much study and
thought to the subject, and the result is
this discovery of their Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point out the

will cost nothing and will result in
