"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

the stomach, developing poisonous sub
stances which when absorbed cause vari-
Gus disorders.
What is required is that the stomach be
made to perform its duties. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial is food already di-
gested and digester of foods as we'll. 1t
will make the stomach healthy. Get
book from the druggist and read about
it.
