SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled Longevity
published few years ago DR.. John Gard
ner Of England predicts that a vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so re-
tard those changes that bring about old
age as to prolong human life much be-
yond its present limit
Acting. perhaps upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
slcians have called from time to time
upon the Shakers Of Mt Lebanon to in
quire Of them concerning the secrets OF
medicinal plants. in which these sincere,
simple-minded and God-fearing people
are known to be wise and skillful beyond
all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned. and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease, which they at once made
practical use Of. The most important
point was that II a genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion
and dyspepsia, and the ailments growing
out Of it, a long step would be taken in
the right direction. Old age, said these
physicians, begins in a failure of the diees-
ton, and so do most diseases at any ana
all periods Of life. The result Of these
consultations was the discovery DV the
Shakers of the desired specific. nsde
Wholly from herbs, and now known as Inc
shaker Digestive Cordial. It's action Is
magical and worthy of its origin
Where there is distress after eating
heartburn sick headache bad taste IN ne
mouth, biiiousness, weakness and weari-
ness. cold hands and feet, aversion to
food nervousness, or any other symptom
OF dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove It's
curative virtues. Behind 1t is the reDuta-
ton of a people who have never defrauded
or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy IS
adapted to your case, at practically no
cost you may procure a trial bottle for
ten cents OF almost any druggist.

Danubian and Russian offerings, hammered

the Importance attached there to the

Several men have been employed for the
past day or two in repairing the approach
to the Morrison street bridge, and yester-
day they had a picnic. While tearing up
the wornout planks one OF the men found
a bright silver quarter of dollar. He
exhibited it exultingly to his comrades
and told them he had "struck it rich" One
of the others said it looked as if the dis
tribution of free silver had begun and
proposed, as 1t was a warm day, they all
go over to the corner and have some cool
beer. This met with the approval Of the
lucky finder of the coin and he .'set 'em
up for the boys An hour or so after one
of the men found two dimes and a nickle
in the dirt when plank had been removed
and he "set 'em up" All hands kept a
some time in vain; but, as one had re-

dollar was quickly transformed into beer.

for you have been drinking beer on my
money all the afternoon
