We all know that any tired muscle
can be restored by rest. Your stom-
ach Is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its
manner of saying SCI am tired. Give
me o rest" To rest the stomach you
must do its work outside of the body.
This Is the Shakers method Of cur
ing Indigestion, and its success is best
attested by the fact that these people
are practically free from what is with
out doubt the most prevalent of all
diseases. The Shaker Digestive Cor
dial not only contains digested food
which il promptly absorbed without
taxing the tired digestive organs, but
1t lie likewise an aid to the digestion
| OF other foods in the stomach. A IL
cent trial bottle will convince You o.
its merit, and these you can Obtain
through all druggists.
