and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a COM
paratively aacaO disease, growing
out of the conditions Of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection Of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-siglrted Shakers
to provo that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and dcpraved functions Of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after tie life
giving elements OF the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they We're right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract {Seigel's

in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the

in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex-
haustion IS a peculiarly Ameri-
can disease. To greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it

from this alarming disease. It's
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent OF continual head
ache; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; nau-
seous quotations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense of Cypress

the stomach; 1Iatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
