THE SHAKERS IDEAS of MEDICINE

Now a days when a man goes to his
doctor, he is usually told that he has
some unheard of disease with long
name, and when he leaves the office he
| does not know whether it is st. VItus
Dance or consumption that is gradu-
ally undermining his health.
1t is therefore refreshing to talk
| with the Shakers, for their very sim

spect, and we have the further salts.
faction of knowing that they have de-
voted themselves to the study of dis
| eases and its cure for more than a
hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the
writer saw was only too glad to discuss
his pet subject. He said that strange
as it might seem, very few doctors
realize that three quarters of the most
prevalent diseases were all attributable
to faulty digestion.
He then went on to say that child
of average intelligence knows that
putrid meat or decaying vegetables are
poisonous, and must be avoided, and
| yet these same foods, even if taken IN
to the stomach in the freshest possible
condition soon decompose unless d.
gested ard absorbed.
In such cases the resulting poisons
enter the system, when aches and
pains, weakness and debility soon
follow as natural consequence.
1t was recognition of this that led the
Shakers to devote their energies to the
perfection of product which would
stimulate the digestive organs and
assist them to perform their proper
work.
The first symptom of dsOrdered
digestion is loss of appetite, and the
Shakers Digestive Cordial is wonder
fully efficient in supplying any def
cheney in this respect, at the same
time it relieves all distress after eat.
ing. Furthermore, as was carefully
explained by our venerable friend, il
is absolutely harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers con
fidence in it could not be found, than
IN the fact that they have placed II
cent sample bottles in the hands Of
all druggists. assured that if once
tried 1t will produce such immediate
aud marked benefit that it will be con
tinued.
