A stomachful of undigeeted food IS about as unhealthy a mass as one can we'll imagine.
 What can be done with it?
 There it stays. It won't digest. It churns up, ferments and decays; be- comes poisonous las all putrid matter does) and causes great pain and deep seated disorders.
 In order to change all this, take Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 It stops fermentation and decay at once, so that TO more poisons are creat- ed.
 It clears the stomach of poisons sl- ready there. It helps it to turn the food that remains, into heslthful nourish- ment. 1t strengthens the stomach for the next meal.
 Here is the whole philosophy and cure of indigestion in few words. And what's more, it's sll true. Try 1t.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is for sale by druggists, price 10 cents to s10Q 8 bottle.
