PERHAPS THIS MAYHELp YOU.

My food does me no good" you say.
 Ihen 1t does you harm. There is no halting place between these extremes, Dlgested food alone gives health and strength, Undigested food sours, or ferments, in the stomach and becomes poison to the whole body. It causes headache, heart palpitation, liver and kidney trouble, distress after eating, pains in the chest and sides, and the tired, languid, heavy feeling We hear so much about. When the digestion goes wrong, every function of the body goes wrong. Yes, and the mind, too. Men fail in business and die poor for no other reason than this,-they are weakened, dulled and stupefled by dys- pepsia, The lives of a host of women are blighted in the same way. You may be one of this miserable multitude. The writer of these lines was one of your number short time ago. tried dozens of things to get cured just as you have done, no doubt, The thing which at last succeeded with me may succeed with you. It is a discovery of those wise and good people-the Shak- CTS, of Mt. Lebanon, N. Y.-called the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is not a purgative, which at best gives only transient relief It is in itself di- gested food and also a corrector of the digestive function. You can eat and digest your food while taking this cor dial. It helps you at once and soon makes the stomach vigorous and healthy It is not like any other so- called dyspepsia cures. It is prepared by the Shakers principally from herbs cultivated by them. They do not ask us to spend dollar for bottle while we are in the dark as to its virtues. They take that risk themselves. Almost any druggist will sell you a trial bottle for ten cents, so you can see whether it is what they say-and adapted to your case. And isn't even the mere chance of a cure worth that much

RESPONDS TO THE DEMANDS,

The increasing demands which have been made on MT, Bunnell for inati- nees at the Grand on Tuesdays and Fridays and which he began the past week, have decided him to give them for the remainder of the season on those days. He would give them on Mondays and Thursdays, but those are the days on which the companies arrive n the city, so that they cannot give mati- nee on those days. The matinee days will be Tuesday, Wednesday,, Friday and Saturday. Prices, 10, 20 and 25 cents, which will not be raised during the season.
