Undigested Food

In the stomach develops an acid
which stings the upper part of the
throat and palate, causing heart
burn" 1t also deXelops a gas which
produces wind on the stomach, "
and a feeling and appearance of
distension of that organ after eat
ing. For both this acidity and
swelling Hostetter's Stomach Bit
terS is a much better remedy than
alkaline salts, like hartshorn and
carbonate OF soda, A wineglassful
of the Bitters, after or before din
ner, will be found to act as a valua-
BILE carminative or preventive. This
fine specific for dyspepsia, both in
it's acute and chrome form, also
prevents and cures malarial fever,
constipation, liver complaint, kid
ney trouble, nervousness and debil-
ity. Persons who observe in them
selves a decline of vigor, should use
this fine tonic without delay.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1896-11-04

For five years l lived on cold
water, so to speak, writes a man
who suffered terribly from indiges-
tiOn.
He could hardly keep anything on
his stomach What stayed wasn't
properly digested aud gave him ter
rible pangs.
This is not an exceptional case.
DyspepticS don't get enough nOur-
lshment. They are generally thin
and weak.
They may eat enought, but they
don't digest enough. Much of what
they eat turns into poison. If this
keeps on there's no telling what
disease they get next.
That's why it is lest to take
Shaker Digestive Cordial as soon as
symptoms of Indigestion appear.
1t cures all evils of Indigestion
and prevents the evils which indi-
digestion causes.
Sold by druggists, price 10 cents
to 81 bottle.
