LIVER CL0GGING.
When Your Stomach Clogs Your Liver
See TO Your Digestion.

Not one person in a thousand knows
that the cause OF billiousness is the clog
ging of the liver by the poisons of indiges-
ton. Nor that the only proper cure for
it is a tonic to aid the stomach.
But modern medicine declares the truth
of it. And the Shakers have proved il by
the wonderful success Of their Shaker
Digestive Cordial
One Of the most important uses of the
liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons
which try 10 find their way into the
blood. When it's clogged, it can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and putrehes
in the stomach. and the poisons of putre-
faction clog and paralyze the liver. after
which they find their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the
distressing disorders and complications
caused by Indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only
tonic cordial which aids the stomach in
a natural way TO digest it's food. BY this
means. it cures indigestion. restores the
liver and frees the body from poison
and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental
depression, weakness, bad taste, fever
hatulence. constipation, loss of appetite,
anaeHlia, rheumatism, and many other
disorders are relieved and cured by Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial.
At druggists. Ten cents for a trial

ly in the Clamart cemetery at Paris
The coffin of an old man named Mattel,
who died at the hospital. had been low
cred into the grave and the grave dig
gers were, in the twilight. filling in the
earth, when he, and certain other per-
sons who were looking on, imagined they
heard knocking on the coffin lid, and also
shouts of Clement" the name Of the
grave. The grave diggers at once made
a large hole in the coffin I'D with a
pickax to let in the air. One Of them
ran to fetch the mayor; but, not being
able to find him, returned to the cene-
terry with the deputy mayor, M. Lorion,
who Is a doctor at ClamaFt.
BY this time 1t had become quite dark
and ii was by torchlight that he de-
seconded into the grave, and. putting his
hand into the coffin through the holes
made in 1t, convinced himself that M
Mattel was really dead. Nevertheless, as
the grave diggers and the persons stand
ing on the ground continued to assert
that they had heard knocking and shouts
Dr. Lorion had the coffin I'D completely
taken off. He then discovered that there
having been dead when placed In the
grave, for the medical authorities of the
hospital had made q post-morten exam

IN the coffin. Even IN the face Of this
conclusive evidence, some OF the byatand-
ers would not admit that they had been
