But the Food Must be DIgssted.

There is no way to get strong without
food Food is the strength maker.
just enough food, properly digested, makes
the strong and healthy man or woman. Too
much, too little, or even the right qIanti-
ty, not digested, will make anybody weak.
The beginning of all sickness is weakness.
The beginning of all weakness is indigestion
So to keep strong, look after your digestion.
That is the most important point of all.
When your food ferments in your stomach
and forms gas, causes dizziness, nausea,
bad taste, sick headache, full feeling, ner-
vousness, irritability, etc, you have indi-
gestion. You are losing a part of your life
Every hour you are sick causes a loss of
strength.
The way to cure it is to take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial A few doses will relieve
If you take it long enough you will regain
the strength you have lost.

herbs and plants by the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon. 1t contains very strong digestive
tonic, properties. 1t creates strength. 1t
makes your food make you strong and
