Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until 1t is
digested any more than animals can
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned the art of extracting amp
utilizing these digestive principles,
and it is for this reason that their
Shaker Digestive Cordial Is meeting
with such phenomenal success in the
treatment Of dyspepsia. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial not only contains
food already digested, but 1t also o n
tains digestive principles which aid
the digestion OF other foods that may
be eaten with it. A single 10 cent
sample bottle will be sufficient to
demonstrate It's value, and we sug-
gest that every suffering dyspeptic
