happens" This has proved to be the case
with the Mount Lebanon Shakers. The
whole scientific world has been laboring to
cure dyspepsia, but every effort seemed to
meet with defeat. The suffering from stom-
ach troubles has become almost universal.
Multitudes have no desire forsfood and that
which they do eat causes them pain and
distress Sleeplees nights are the rule and
not the exception, and thousands of suffer
ers have become discouraged.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon recently
came to the front with their new Digestive

ready digested, but is digester of food.
It promptly relieves nearly all forms of
indigestion. Ask your druggist for one Of
