A s%tomachful of i~ndigested food is
about as unhealthy a mass as one can
well imagine. What can be done with
it? There it stays. 1t won't digest. 1t
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.
1t stops fermentation and decay at once
so that no more poisons are created.
1t clears the stomach of poisons already
there. 1t helps it to turn the food that
remains, into healthful nourishmont.
1t strengthens the stomach for the next
meal. Here is the whole philosophy
and cure of indigestion in n few words.
And what's more, it's all true. Try it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for sale by
