We know of but one community in
the world where dyspepsia is practi-
cally unknown, and that is the Shakers
of Mount Lebanon, n. Y. These good
people have been studying the subject
OF digestion for more than a hundred
wears and that they understand it
thoroughly is evidenced in the fore
going fact. Their Digestive Cordial
is the safest and best remedy in the
case of indigestion that we know of.
A trial bottle can be had through your
druggists for the trifiing sum of 10
cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies the system with food already di-
gested and at the same time aids the
digestion of other foods. 1t will al
most instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion and no suf-
ferer need to be told what these are.
Laxol is the best medicine for child
rem. Doctors recommend it in place
of Castor oil.

in the bone, instilled by early train

other relatives in the nations strug-
gle to maintain union, freedom, equal
ity and prosperity, the foundation
stones of the republican party, and
fully established by later study. We
don't believe we could be anything

principles which it has steadily main
