well convinced that something must
be done, and at once, to alleviate the
condition of the unfortunate thousands
who are distressed.

YOUR PALATE IS YOUR
STOMACH'S CONSCIENCE.
YOUR STOMACH KNOWS WHAT Is
GOOD FOR YOU.

Thin people are thin because the food
they eat is not absorbed. Reasons. either
wrong food, or right food undigested.
Fat, oils and grease will not make any
one fat. This is because they are indi-
gestible. Thin people find it hard to di-
gest their food. Fatty foods make it still
harder
Have you ever noticed that almost with
out exception, thin, pale, dyspeptic, amaze
mic people have an aversion to fat? This
is of itself proof enough that such foods
are bad for them.
Let your palate tell you what to eat.
Nature makes very few mistakes, and
we should listen to what she says.
Thin people may become fatter, and dys-
peptics more comfortable by taking the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t agrees with
the weakest stomach, 1t helps the weak
stomach digest other food. 1t is fatten-
ing and invigoratipg In itself for it con-
tains artificially digested food
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have made
O great many interesting discoveries
within the past hundred years, but none
more important than this ingenious cure
for all diseases which are traceaHe to
faulty digestion. A single 10-cent bottle
will tell whether it is adapted to your
case, and can be had through any drug
