How Sick People May Save Their

1t is hard work for some people to digest
their dinner as It is for normal man to walk

AFTER dinner rest a while' This IS an old
saying. 1t means that IL after eating a heavy
meal you try to do hard work you Will exhaust
all your energy. There will be none left for your
stomach. Your stomach needs energy to work inst
as your leg arm does
Sick people want energy. They selilor, hs, g

Of order and they want to know the reason. It's
simple enough We have told It.
What they ought to do Is to sare their stomachs
from hard work until 1t is capable of doing IT, inst
as they rest their tired backs by lying down
This they can do by using artifcially dicested
food. Shaker Digestive Cordial contains such
food. Not only this but it Is capable of digestnr
other foods In the stomach
Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nourishrueut and
creates new energy as soon It is swallowed
Ordinary food nrst has to be digested SHAKER
Digestive Cordial while creating new energy does

to do. 1t will make thin people fat. Sick people
are naturally thin. Getting thin is q sign of sick

Sir Walter Besant, in commenting on Mr..

country, and we ought to know them; they
come over here by the thousand, by the
Hundred thousand, and We do nothing to
entertain them or to make their acquaint-
ance or to show them that we should like
to know them. Are We ashamed Of our
selves-of our homes-of our women, es-

selves to them? We have no reason to be
ashamed.
