We would like to look into the pleasant face
of some one who has never had any derange-
ment of the digestive organs. We see the
drawn and unhappy faces Of dyspeptics in
every walk OF life. 1t is our national disease,
and nearly all complaints spring from this
source. Remove the stomach difficulty and
the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale thin people are literally
starving, because they don't digest their food.
Consumption never develops in people Of
robust and normal digestion. Correct the
wasting and loss of flesh and we cure the
disease. Do this with food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial contains al
ready digested food and is digester Of food
at the same time. Its effects are felt at once.
