If we could trace Dyspepsia to its source, it would lead back to our kitchens. In fact, the secret of good health IS good cooking. If we'll cooked. foods gre partially digested; if poorly cooked, they are less digestible than Tn their raw state. If you are victim of faulty cooking; that is, if you suffer from Dyspepsia the rational cure must be looked for in an artihcislly digested food, and food which will at the same time aid the digestion of other foods. Such preparation vsrtually rests the tired digestive organs, thereby restoring them to their natural strength.
 The Digestive Cordial. as prepared by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just suoh preparation, and single 10 cent bottle will convince you of its value. If your druggist doesn't keep it. he will be glad to get it through his wholesale house.
