Is it ''overwork" that has filled this country with nervous dyspeptics?-ths takes the flesh off their bones, the vi- fality from their blood. aud makes them feeble, emacisted and inefficient? No. It is bad cooking. overating of in- digestible stuff, and other health-de- stroyiDg habits.
 The remedy is au artifcially digested food such as the Shaker Digestive Cor dial. Instead of irritating the already infiamed stomach the Cordial gives it chance to rest by nouIishing tue system itself and diaesting other food taken with it. So flesh and strength return. Ia not the idea rational? The Cordial is palatable and relieves immediately. No money risked to decide on it's value. A 70 cent trial bottle does that.
