Ihe Shakers OF Mount Lebanon, a COM
munity of simple, honest, God-fearing men
and women, have prepared the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial for many years, and it is al
ways the same, simple, honest, curative
medicine that has helped to make the STA
kers the healthy, long-lived people they are.
The Shakers never have indigestion. This
is partly owing to their simple mode of life,
partly to the wonderful properties of Shat er
Digestive Coidial. Indigestion is caused by
| the stomach glands not supplying enough
| digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cordial
| supplies what's wanting. Shaker Digestive
| Cordial invigorates the stomach and all its
| glanos so that after awhile they don't need
help. AS evidence of the honesty of Shaker
/ Digestive Cordial the formula is printed on
every bottle. Sold by druggists, price lC
cents to 100 per bottle.

NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT Is ONLY A QUESTION Or
EATING PROPER FOOD

.Thln people who want to get tat shou'>'
eat proper food and digest it,
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is that
they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't
get enough nourishment. They are slowly
being starved. They are poisoned by the
products of fermented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle. natu-
raj, vegetable digestive, attacks the food in
your stomach just like the digestive juices
and turns 1t into healthful nourishment. 1t
helps your stomach naturally. 1t makes
thin dyspeptics fat. 1t makes poisonous
blood pure. 1t tones up and cures the stom-
ach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker
Digestive Cordial, because nothing else goes
so naturally about it.
This is why it has been SO successful in
relieving nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weak
ness, bad taste, fever, f1atuence, constipa-
ton, loss of appetite, headache, neuralgia,
rheumatism, etc., by curing the disorder
which causes the symptoms.
A few doses will prove its value, but you
won't get fat on one bottle.
All druggists. Ten cents for trial bottle.
Write for book on Food and Fat to The
Shakers, 80 Reade Street, New York.
