A NEW DISCOVERY by the SHAKERS

For more than hundred years the Mount
Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultva-
ton Of medicinal plants and sought to ex-
tract from them their healing essences.
Their labor has not been spent in vain,
They have made a discovery that will prove
blessing to mankind. 1t consists Of a cor
dial that causes immediate relief in cases of
indigestion. The importance Of this dis
covery will be apparent when we realize
that nearly nine-tenths of our suffering are
caused by dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly
every person you meet has this digestive
trouble in some of its varied forms-sick
headache, distress after eating pain and
fulness in the chest after eating, palpita-
tion Of the heart etc, are but symptoms of
indigestion. To relieve these sufIerings has
been the study of the Shakers, and they
have succeeded. The reason the Shaker
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutary effect is that it causes the food
eaten to be digested, for it Is undigested
food that causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food to be digested before there
is time for it to ferment and sour on the
stomach. When the food is so digested it
gives strength and vigor to the feeble body,
makes one feel bright and cheerful, and
makes one gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in its
action that the very first dose will have a
perceptibly favorable result. 1t gives i'm
mediate relief
Every druggist has been sent a supply of
our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books, and
a copy may be had for the asking. 1t tells
all about the Cordial as well as Laxol, the
new castor oil.
Try twenty-five cent bottle of Digestive
Cordial and see what it will do for you.

this. A iuster distribution of taXation'
including income and inheritance taxes
and laws like those now in vogue in
France not permitting person to will
more than one-third of their property, but
providing that the property shall be equal
ly divided among certain heirs, will also
do much towards accomplishing this, and
Just arrangement of our financial laws
must and will be of infinite assistance to
the people in a fair distribution of the
nations wealth.
In other ways as this great movement
goes on checks will be put in against the
greed of mankind, and furthering the in
terest and prosperity of the nation.
But nowhere, as we believe, will there
be unrighteous action. Everywhere Will
be illustrated the wonderful education
of this nation in the principles of liberty
and government that prepare it to
take up such questions as are Important
to its welfare and act upon them with
unhestating decision and wise iudg-
ment, though often, as now, deserted by
its leaders and bereft of the guiding
hand of its press. New leaders come
prepared for the occasion. A new press
rises and the old will be swept away.
American independence once more as
serts its power, and American liberty
will again triumph and demonstrate
once more that the God of Israel hath
not yet deserted it, but kindly guides
and securely leads his chosen people.
