FEN KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS OF
HOUHT LEBANON.

We do not believe in their peculiar re-
llgIous views. We cannot enter into the
spirit OF their sacrifices. and therefore We
don't study their habits OF life.
IL Is not necessary 10 believe as they
do. nor to act as they do; but we can
and do respect their honesty Of purpos-.
both as far as their principles are con-
cernsd. and their worldly deeds.
Almost every prominent man has some
one speciality In which he excels. especial
~ IL he has devoted his life to its study
and development.
In one particular the Shakers excel
above all others and above all other men
or classes OF men. This IL in the Guilt
walton Of medicinal herbs and plants
They have made this a study for more
than one hundred years. They are also
expert in extracting from them their Pc
culiar essences and medicinal virtues.
This is their peculiar industry. Thel>
lives have been devoted to it. BY It they
are supported. They excel in this branch
as do the Monks OF the Order Of Bene>
dictine with their famous liaueur
Now. this lifelong study on the part OF
the Shakers has not been in vain. They
have accomplished much good. Their me-
dicinal extracts and cordials are known
throughout the world
The Shaker Digestive Cordial IL proba-
bly, the most successful article ever given
to the public. 1t is not a cure for all dis
eases; 1t don't pretend TO be. but one dis.
ease IL will cure. and that is indigestion.
II is not pretended that IL will cure any
thing else, and sufferer has not long 70
wait TO see the result.
Almost the first dose will give relief,
and. IL continued. a permanent cure VIII
follow. The Shaker motto is ITO try ali
things and hold fast to that which is

put into the hands Of the retail druggists
