what the shaker. Believe J

what the shakers Believe About Disease.
They have learned from many years eX-
perience that nne-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 EN-
tract of Roots tSiegeIS Syrup and it Ope-
rates like a charm in all cases of indiges-
ton.
1t is not what we eat that makes us
strong. but that which we digest. This is
the dOctrineOf the Mount Lebanon Shakers
People who are weak and languid tired and
feeble often wonder. The reason is that
the food eaten does not give strength be-
cause it is not digeSted. The Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots (Siegel'S Syrup will restore
the digestion to a healthy condition and
drive away the headache, the pains in the
side and back, the distress after eating and
make the sleep afford rest.
