"Going into decline" How often
do we hear this expression. What
does it mean? 1t means that people
are losing flesh, growing thin,
wasting.
The way to correct this condition
is to improve the digestion: The
condition arises from an inability to
eat and digest food. In fact food
does more harm than good because 1t
ferments aud putretiies in the
stomach, developing poisonou
substances which when absorbed
cause various disorders.
What is required is that the
stomach be made to perform its
duties. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial is food all ready digested
