BILIOUS PILLIOUSNESS.
Why Some Bilious People Take Pills and
Others Don't.


Bilinusness Ia much misunderstood. -.
So many people have it, that It's worth
understanding, tho moro SO us II Is easy
enough il you begin right.
Liver secretes fluid called bile. Bile
gees to the intestines, whore IL performs
Important work in digestion Sometimes
bile passages in liver get clogged. This is
biliousness.
"Pilltousncss'' is the idea that by TAX
ing pill which stimulates the liver, we
may cure biliousness. 1t is only an idea.
Pill.taking relieves but does not cure u.
The cure can only como through the
stomach.
Why2
Biliousness is caused by the poison of
undigested food, irritating the liver. 10
cure biliousness, these poisons must be got
out of the stomach. The only sure way to
do this is with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is pleasant,
tonic aid to digestion prepared from roots
herbs and wine by tho Shakers of Mount
Lebanon. 1t helps the stomach to dlgest
its food, and sweeps out OF the system all
dangerous poisons.
In this way it cures biliousness, head
ache, nausea, dizziness, bad taste stomach
ache, fever, hatulcnce, constipation, loss
Of appetite, ETC., when other remeoie'
