The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food In fact food does more harm than
good because it ferments and putrefies In
the stomach, developing poisonous sub
stances which when absorbed cause var-
Gus disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
be made to perform its duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is Il food already
digested and a digester of foods as we'll.
1t will make the stomach healthy. Get
book from II druggist and read about it.
