Food undigested, is poison. Digested,
it is life and strength. Millions of us
suffer from indigestion, but we often
don't know il. We think it is some
thing else. Even doctors often mistake
the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are over work
ed who need strength, who seem in
want of proper food should take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. 1t is astonishing
what food will do, when properly di-
gested.
1t will make you strong, relieve you,
refresh you, sustain you, make you fat,
fiber, courage, endurance, energy;
restore your color, make muscle, brain
increase your power TO throw of disease
and keep you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite,
but indigestion can be cured and pre-
vented with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Beware
Of Mercury

Whenever doctor is called upon to
treat blood disease, the result nine
times out of ten is that the treatment
is worse than the disease, and in a
short while the patient finds his
condition far worse than it was at first.
The reason of this is that notwith-
standing the great progress made in
surgery, and in some branches of med
icine, the doctors have failed absolute
ly to discover cure for blood diseases.
Whether in the form of pill, powder or
liquid, their treatment is always the
same potash and mercury which
temporarily dry up the poison in the
system and no sooner has it taken on
the full effects of these powerful drugs,
than that suppleness and elasticity of
the joints give way to stiffness, fol-
lowed by the racking pains of rheu-
matism. Then follows loss of hair
and finger nails, and even decay of the
bones-a condition most horrible.
Mr.. Henry Roth, of 1S48 South Ninth
street, st. Louis, Mo-, was a victim of
contagious blood poison-that worst
form of blood disease, which has always
bafled the doctors. He was treated
by physician, and in due time pro-

Last Sunday afternoon as the Win
field switch engine was going back to
that city, after being here all day
undergoing repairs, they came very
near running into some ties that had
been piled upon the bridge just east
of the city. 1t was a narrow escape.
