WHAT THE SHAKERS BELIEVE ABOUT DIS
EAsE.-They have learned from many years
experience, that nine tenths of all the diseases
of mankind arise from imperfect digestion of
food; for this reason they have spent years of
labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Seigel's Syrup, and it operates like a
charm in all cases of Indigestion. 1t is not
what we eat that makes US strong, but that
which we digest; this is the doctrine of the
Mount Lebanon Shakers; people who are weak
and languid, tired and feeble often wonder.
The reason is that the food eaten doesn't give
strength because it is not digested; the Shaker
Extract of Roots (siegels Syrup will restore
the digestion to a healthy condition and drive
away the headache, the pain in the side and
back, the distress after eating and make the
sleep afford rest. B. B. Moore, druggist, at
Champlain, N. Y, writes, We are using your
medicine in my family for constipation, re-
suling from dyspepsia, with the most satisfac-
tory results. Use Shaker Tar Capsules for
coughs. At
