Few people know that all plants CON-
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested any
more than animals can. The Mount
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art Of
extracting and utilizing these digestive
principles, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker Digestive Cordial is meeting
with such phenomenal success in tho
treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial not only contains food
already digested, but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the diges-
ton OF other food that may be eaten with
it. A single 10 cent sample bottle will be
sufficient to demonstrate its value, and
we suggest that every suffering dyspeptic
make a trial OF it. Any druggist can
supply it.

Pianos.

There are many cheap, inferior pianos
in the market which can be obtained on
almost any terms. They are dear at any
price. A high-class instrument may cost
little more, but it is cheapest in the
end, besides being superior in tone and
volume, and much more satisfactory.
Such one is the Wing piano. You can
have twenty days trial of it without cost,
and if not satisfactory it may be returned.
Terms reasonable. For particulars call
