NEW DISCOVERY BY THE
SHAKERS.

For moe than hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultivation
Of medicinal plants, and sought to extract from
them heir healing essences. Their labor has
not been spent in vain They nave made
discovery that will prove blessing to mankind
1t consists Of cordial that causes immediate
relief in cases of Indigestion. The Importance
of this discovery will be apparent when we
realize that nearly nine-tenths Of all our suffer-
ings caused by dyspepsia or Indigestion.
Nearly every person you meet has this digestive
trouble in Of its varied forms-sick head
ache, distress after eating pain and funess
in the chest after eating. palpitation OF the
heart etc, but symptoms OF indigestion. To
relieve these sufferings has been the study OF the
Shakers and they have succeeded. The reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an I'm.
mediate salutary effect is that 1t causes the FOOD
eaten to be digested. for 1t Is undigested food
that causes the distress. The cordial causes the
food to be digested before there s time for 1t to
ferment and the stomach When the
food is digested 1t gives strength and vigor 10
the feeble body, makes one feel bright ana cneer-
full and makes one gain In flesh
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt In Its action
that the very first dose will have perceptibly
favorable result. 1t gives immediate relief.
In order to prove this statement small tr1ai
bottles placed in the druggists hands. wnicn
can be Obtained for ten cents each rms tr1al
bottle will have a decided beneficial ERECT ana
will satisfy any one that the Cordial Is adapted
to his case. After trial give praise to the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, y. Y.

agreement the rates would be advanced above

well as the railroads. under pooling agreement
present system 1t is unfair to the small shipper
but n tn Patterson amendment becomes a law
he will share equally with the largest shipper.
Each road Will be trying to excel us competitors
In service, and the merchant VIII derive tne most
benefit as he Will get his goods quicker, KNOWING
that all lines charge the same rate
The railroads Will reduce trahc expenses niue
as they will dispense with good many agents, put
for a gradual restoration of business Just as soon
as the amendment becomes n law. but do not look
for any boom in business We don't want any we
