Dig down to the cause of your sick. ness, if you want to get we'll and stay we'll. Most likely it's indigestion. The irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness. dizziness, stomach-ache, nausea, irrita. bility, and all the other well-known symptoms of indigestion.
 They also cause many pains and dis orders which are often laid to other causes and hence are not easily cured. But as soon as the poisons are remoued, all these symptoms and disorders dis appear, because there is nothing left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because 1t preoe,ats the undigested food from fermenting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest it's food.
