ANEW DISCOVERY Blythe SHAKERS

For more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation of medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their
healing essences. Their labor has not
been spent in vain. They have made a
discovery that will prove a blessing
to mankind. 1t consists of a cordial
that causes immediate relief in cases
of Indigestion. The Importance of this
discovery will be apparent when we
realize that nearly nine-tenths of our
suffering are caused by dyspepsia or
indigestion Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble in some
of its varied forms-sck headache, dis
tresS after eating, pain and fulness IN
the chest after eating, palpitatiOn of
the heart, etc, are but symptoms of
Indigestion. To relieve these suffer
ings has been the study Of the Shakers
and they have succeeded. The reason
the Shaker Digestive Cordial has such
an immediate and salutary effect is
that it causes the food eaten to be di-
gested, for it is undigested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food to be digested before
there is time for it to ferment and sour
on the stomach When the food is so
diSSSttu IL gives StIeIlS III anu NlSpi ~
the feeble body, makes one feel bright
and cheerful, and makes one gain in
flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt
in its action that the very first dose
will have a perceptibly favorable re-
suit. 1t gives immediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent a sup
ply Of our handsome Donkey Puzzle
Books, and a copy may be had for the
asking. 1t tells all about the Cordial
as well as Laxol. the new castor oil.
Try a twenty-five cent bottle of Di-
gestive Cordial and see what it will
do for you.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.

1t needs mo ghost to come and tell
u.s. that the sooner dyspepsia is rene
died, the sooner we shall enjoy that
right to which our ancestors laid
claim in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence-"the pursuit of happiness" A
man blessed with good digestion
provided he has enough to eats
happy. There are hosts of people with
ample means to whom the sole conso-
lation of a healthy pauper is denied.
Hostetter's Stomach Bittters is GER
tain, prompt and thorough medicinal
agent through the use of which sound
digestion, and the nerve tranquility
which it's disturbance causes, can be
recovered. Biliousness, malarial and
kidney trouble, constipation and rheu-
matism are also remedied by this fine
corrective of disordered condition of
the system. Appetite and sleep are
greatly improved by it.
