not be given save in cases whore food ia
refused, and it ia necessary to build up

Fits rarely trouble cats after they have
passed kittenhood. They are traceable
to various causes--worms, indigestion,

A tired stomach is very much like a
sprained ankle. If you suffer from any of
the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stomach is
tired. 1t needs crutch. We must relieve
it of all work for time, or until it is restor-
ed to its natural strength. To do this sue
cessfully, we must use food which is al
ready digested outside of the body, and
which will aid the digestion of other foods
that may be taken with it. Such product
is the Shaker Digestive Cordial
The Shakers have utilized the digestive
principles present in plants for the manu-
