~ saw in the last issue of your paper that
all the fat hogs on the Hampton estate had

Dig down to the cause of your sickness, if
you want to get well and stay well. Most like
~ it's indigestion. The irritating posons of
fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by
indigestion, cause headache, neuralgia, ner-
vousness, dizziness. stomachache. nausea, irri-
liability, and all the other Well-known symp-
toms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disorders
which are often laid to other causes and hence
are not easily cured. But as soon as the
poisons are removed, all these symptoms and
disorders disappear, because there is nothing
left to cause them. Nothing succeeds i'll this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it pre-,
vents the undigested food from fernenting in
the stomach and helps the stomach to digest lis
food.
