Sick-poison is poison which
makes you sick. 1t comes from
the stomach. The stomach makes
it out of undigested food,
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it, That's the
way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion.
If your food is all properly di-
gested, there will be none left in
the stomach to make siok-poison
out of.
If your stomach is too weak to
see to this properly by itself, help
it along with a few doses of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a de-
licious, healthful, tonic cordial,
made of pure medicinal plants,
herbs and wine.
1t positively cures Indigestion
and prevents the formulation of
sick poison.

Some Things 10 Our Scenery and chasac-
tor DO Not Meet His Fuii Approval.
LONDON, April 1O--some very frank
opinions Of America and Americans by an
imperial globo trotter are givon IN tho
second volume Of Archduke Francis Fer
dinand's diary Of his voyage round the
world In 1898. The Austrian prince ad-
mits that his observations may be some
what superficial but as the views OF
member Of the reignng house Of an oifote
old world monarchy they arc rather intor-
osting. Tho prince says:
"All ] saw of the landscapes Of North
America were mighty mountains. deep
valleys endless plains. enormous streams
and waterfalls. lakes that resemble seas
and immeasurable distances. All this
bears on undeniablo stamp of grandeur,
but 1t Is not grandeur glorifed by poatry
that a son Of old Europe is accustomed to
soc and by which nature touches the ten
derost chords In the human heart. IL is a
grandeur coupled with a proud self con-
soiousness Of power which seems to defend
the uncounted treasures against the hand
greedy TO seize them and thereby challon-
ges man 20 battle"
Further on the prince says that though
tho forefathers Of the Americans 'were
the Americans Of today are estranged
from us They have assimilated themselves
with the country they conquered There
is an undeniable element of grandeur In
thoir character, though it is often gro
tesquo and oven outrageous.
Tho archduke thinks there is a disposi-
tion on the part of citizen of the United
States to DO more than life size, TO be
moro than man and that he has cnurht
the infection from the nature that sur
rounds him. But just as an American
landscape lacks poetic beauty, so does the
American lack the intimate charms Of
personality and warmth of character and
disposition.
After all. says the author, ''the poo
Piles OF the old world also fought the bat
Ito for existence, and yet they did not lose
their hearts or their souls, which are such
softening and benencent factors side by
side with reason and energy"
