The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God
fearing men and women, have pre-
pared the Shaker Digestive Cordial
for many years, and it is always the
same, simple honest, curative medi-
cine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long-liyed peo-
pie that they are. The Shakers
never have indigestion. This is
partly owing to their simple mode
of life, partly to the wonderful
properties of Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying
enough digestive juice. Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial
invigorates the stomach and all its
glands so that after awhile they don t
need help. As evidence of the homes
ty of Shaker Digestive Cordial, the
formula is printed on every bottle.

Many extraordinary and several very
ludiorous incidents are described by Cap
tain Arthur Cuninghame in his ''Recollee-
tions Of Service In China" One day while
stationed in Nankin friend of his stepped
into barber's shop, and by way of en-
ploying his time he desired the barber to
shave his head. This gentleman wore q
wig, but which, for the sake of GOODNESS,
he Lad placed in his pocket. This opera
ton of shaving, SO common in China was
speedily and quickly executed, the barber
seeming to be delighted with the honor
of shaving one of the illustrious strangers
Previously to his leaving the shop and
while the mans attention was called in
some other direction my friend replaced
his wig upon his head, little thinking of
the result of this simple process. No soon
err however, had the barber turned round
and observed him whom no had SO lately
cleared Of every vestigo Of hair suddenly
covered with most luxuriant growth,
than, taking one steady gaze at him, to

sailors suffer much in their eyesight from

however, can be intercepted by goggles or

Another interesting case bearing on this
