When person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries physician. Con-
sumptives would never die if they
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would be no consumption il
there were no wasting Of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a fail
ure to properly digest the food eaten.
Nine-tenths of all our diseases date
back to some arrangement of the
stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be di-
gested so as to do good, for undigest-
ed food does more harm than good
The Cordial contains food already di-
gested and digester OF foods as we'll.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to uredeafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
