Few people know that all
plants contain digestive principles
They cannoI absorb their food Ill
til it is digested any more than
animals can. The Mount Lebanon
Shakers have learned the art OF
tracting and utilizing these di.
gestive principles, and it is for
this reason that their Shaker Di
gestlve Cordial is meeting with
such phenomenal success in the
treatment of Dyspepsia. The Sha-
Ser Digestive Cordial not only
contains food already ,digested,
but 1t also contains digest We prin.
ciples which aid the digestion Of
other. foods that may be eaten with
it. a single 10 cent sample bot
tie will be sufficient to demonstrate
It's value, and we suggest that ev-
cry suffering dyspeptlc make a.
rial gift. Any druggist can sup.
by it.

A cup was given to the most popular young
