BILIOUS PILLIOUsNESS.
Why Some Bilious People Take
Pills aud Others Don't.
SllnderStood.


Bilousness is much misunderstood.
So many people have 1t. that lis
worth understanding. the more so as 1t Is
easy enough. if you begin right
Liver secretes fluid called bile. Bile
goes to the intestines, where 1t performs
important work In digestion. Sometimes
bile passages in liver get clogged. This
is biliousness.
"Pilliousness' is the idea that by TAX
ing Il pill which stimulates the liver. we
may cure biliousness. 1t is only an idea.
Pil-taking relieves but does not cure it.
The cure can only come through the
stomach.
Why?
Bliousness is caused by the poison of
undigested food. irritating the liver. To
cure biliouSness, these poisons must be
got out of the stomach. The only sure
way to do this is with Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleasant
tonic aid to digestion. prepared from
roots. herbs and wine by the Shakers OF
Mount Lebanon. 1t helps the stomach to
digest its food, and sweeps out of the
system all dangerous poisons.
In this way it cures biliousness. head
ache. nausea. dizziness. bad taste
stomachache. fever. natulence, consti-
patton. loss of appetite. etc. when other
remedies only give temporary relief.
All druggists. Ten cents for a trial
bottle.

kers, so Reade Street. New York.
