THE AMERICAN has subscribers at 100

be, but it is the only paper that can prop
erly be called a COUNTY paper; all the
est are merely local papers. The circula-
ton Of THE AMERICAN, barring the Bar

Is it "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics?-that
takes he flesh off their bones, the vitality
from their blood, and makes them feeble,
emaciated and inefficient? No. 1t is bad
cooking, overeating of indigestible stuff,
and other health destroying habits.
The remedy is an artificially digested
food such as the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Instead of irritating the already infiamed
stomach the Cordial gives it a chance to
rest by nourishing the system itself and
digesting other food taken with it. So
flesh and strength return. Is not the
idea rationale The Cordial is palatable
and relieves Immediately. No money
risked to decide on its value. A 10-cent
trial bottle does that.
