When your Hlouiuch begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs,
is to digest your food, and until it nets
It, you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing) very obtti
nate, very dangerous. Many of the
most dangerous of diseases begin with
simple indigestion. The reason is that
indigestion (not digestion, not nourish
ment) weakens the system and allows
disease genus to attack it. This anti
dote is .Shaker Digestive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative. It
cures indigestion uud renews strength
and health. Jt does this by strengthen
