THE SHAKERS lDEAOF MED.
IClNE.

Now a DAYS when man goes to his doc
tor. he is usually told that he has some I'M
heard of disease with a long name, and
when he leaves the office he does not
know whether it is st. Nitus Dance OF
consumption that is gradually undermln'
ing his health.
1t is therefore refreshing to talk Will
the Shakers, for their very simplicity com
mands confidence and respect. and we
have the further satisfaction of knowing
that they have devoted themselves TO the
study of disease and its cure for more
than hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the writer
saw was only too glad to discuss his pei
subject. He said that strange as ii might
seem. very few doctors realized that three
quarters of the most prevalent diseases
were all attributed to faulty digestion.
He then went on to say that II child of
average intelligence knows that putrid
meat or decaying vegetables are poison
Gus, and must be avoided, and yet these
same foods. even if taken into the stom-
ach in the freshest possible condition soon
decompose unless digested and absorbed.
In such eases the resulting poisons en-
ter the system, when aches and pains,
weakness and debility soon follow as n
natural consequence.
1t was recognition Of this that led the
Shakers to devote their energies to the
perfection of a product which would
stimulate the digestive organs and assist
them to perform their proper work.
The first symptom of disordered diges-
ton is loss of appetite, and the Shaker
Digestive Cordial is wonderfully efficient
in supplying any deficiency in this respect,
at the same time it relieves all distress
after eating. Furthermore, as was care
fully explained by our venerable friend,
it is absolutely harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers conf
denee in it could not be found, than in
the fact that they have placed 10 cent
sample bottles in the hands of all drug
gists, assured that if once tried it will
produce such immediate and marked
benefit that it will be continued.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Miss Josephine Sabel and Joe Flynn are making a great hit at Polls Won derland theater, and considering that we are well into May, they are draw ing remarkably well. The admirably new ventilating arrangements made this spring, however, make the Won- derland much cooler and pleasanter place on the hottest day than outside. Hence 1t is that many seek relief from the warm weather by dropping into the theater and seeing the splendid show that is running. It is in all re- spects a very fine one, those who take part in addition to Miss Sabel and MT. Flynn being MT. Watson and Miss Du- pre-, Rolf Arras and Miss Alice, Mc- Bride and Gordon, MT. Colby and Miss Way, Tom Hefron, MT.
