Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptics often waste away
as badly as consumptives
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or they
don't digest what they do eat
If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help you to di-
gest your food and stop your loss of flesh
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, barks and juices of fruit, by the we'll
known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. 1t pos
sesses great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Dige tive Cordial has cured many
supposed consumptives (who were really
dyspeptics) by simply helping their stom-
achs to digest their food, thus giving them
nourishment and new strength.
Sold by druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents.

Some of the Penobscot river ice firms have

ming The quality of the ice is said to be of
the very bes1-from u ID to Il inches thick,
clear blue and entirely free from snow and
anchor ice. The cut will be less than usual

vas left over in nearly all houses from last

damage done, further than the loss of
