II is as hard work for some people 10 d.

man to walk ten miles.
After dinner rest awhile" This IS al
old saying. II means that If after eating
a heavy meal you try to do hard work
you viii exhaust all your energy. There
viii be none left for your stomach Your
stomach needs energy TO work just as
your leg or arm does.
Sick people want energy. They seldom
have enough for their stomach. Their d.
gestion Is out Of order and they want
10 know the reason. It's simple enough
as we have told il.
What they ought to do is to save their
stomachs from hard work until It is cana
bic Of doing It, just as they rest their
tired backs by lying down.
This they can do by using artifcially
digested food. Shaker Digestive Cordial
contains such food; not only this. but
il is capable OF digesting other foods in
the stomach
Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nour-
ishment and creates new energy as soon
as il is swallowed. Ordinary food first
has to be digested. Shaker Digestive Cor

eXDend any. Ii gives the stomach no
work to do. IL VIII make thin people fat

thin is a sign Of sickness. A person may
he born thin, and naturally remain so
such a one is not necessarily sick. All
