We live in a country of which the principal
scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other dis
ease, and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is that
it is SO little understand.
If it we're better understood, it would be
more feared, more easily cured, less universal
than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured. take Shaker
Digestive Cordial, because it goes to the root
of the trouble as no other medicine does. The
pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants, OF
which it is composed, are what render it SO
certain and, at the same time, so gentle a
cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifes and tones up the system.
