New Workers may soon read the details
of q deadly encounter in this city between
two men. Ut may be IL duel or perhaps Il
hand to hand life and death struggle in

Food, undigested is poison. Di'
gested, it is life and strength. Mil
lions of US suffer from indigestion
but we often don't know it. We
think it is something else. Even
doctors often mistake the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are over
worked, who need strength, who
seem in want of proper food, should
take Shaker Digestive Cordial. l,
is astonishing what food will do
when properly digested.
1t will make you strong, revive
you, refresh you, sustain you, make
you fat, restore your color, make
muscle, brain fibre, courage, endur-
ance, energy; increase your power
to throw off disease and keep you
healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite
but indigestion can be cured and
prevented with Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
