Sick stomach means sick man (or
woman).
Why not be wel2
Sick stomach comes from poor
food, poor nourishment; means
poor health, poor comfort. Shaker
Digestive Cordial means health and
a well stomach.
If we could examine our stomach
we would understand why it is that
so little will put it out of order.
But, unless we are doctors, we
never see our stomach. We only
feel it. We would feel it less if we
took Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes
your stomach digest all the noursh-
ing food you eat, relieves all symp-
toms of Indigestion, acts as a tonic
and soon makes you well andstrong
again.
The more you take, the less you
will feel of your stomach.

forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
RIGHTLY directed There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dls'
case. but simply to constipated condl-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
evervwhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its benehclal
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
eli important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine artl-
Gle. which is manufactured by the CAN
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists =,
If in the enjoyment OF good health
and the system is regular, laXatlyes or
