When a person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste
is greater than the supply and it is
only a question of time when the end
must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble
is with the digestive organs. Ii you
restore them to a healthy condition
you will stop the waste, put on new
flesh and cause them to feel better in
every way. The food they eat will be
digested and appropriated to the needs
of the system. and a normal appetite
will appear.
Consumption frequently follows a
wasting of bodily tissue because nearly
all consumptives have indigestion. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial will restore
the stomach to a healthy condition in
a vast majority of cases. Get one of
their books from your druggist and
learn about this new and valuable
remedy.
When the children need Castor Oil,
