For more than n hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation of medicinal plants and
sought TO extract from them their heal.
ing essences. Their labor has not been
spent In vain. They have made dis
coyery that will prove n blessing to
mankind. II consists OF n cordial that
causes immediate relief in cases of in
digestion. The Importance of this dis
Covory win be apparent when we rea-
lie that nearly nlne-tcnths Of our suf-
ferinE are caused by dyspepsia or in
digestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble In some
OF Its varied forms-sicl5 headache, dis.
tress after eating pain and fullness In
the chest after eating, palpltatlon OF the
heart etc, are but symptoms OF indl-
gestion, To relieve these sufferings
has been the study Of the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. The
reason the Shaker Dlgesti Cordial has
such an immediate and salutnry effect
is that II causes the food eaten to be
dlqested, for II Is undIgcstcd food that
cnuges the distress, Tho Cordial

Pace At least this is the tale told TO
the grand Jury now In session by alleged
negro victims, whose bodies are covered
with bruises.
The grand Jury was informed OF the
state OF affairs when II met q few days
ago and was furnished the names 0f
several negroes Summonses We're Is

grand jury, but they failed to appear a
special corps Of deputy sheriffs, fully
armed, was then sent out TO the farm,
and returned with lot OF ragged and
bruised negroes, who told a pititul tale,
The witnesses stated that they had
been prevented from attending court by
Pace and his men. They said they had
been at work on the farm for three
years. They had been taken up at Syl-
acaugn. brought To the farm in irons,
and, without the Formally Of q trial,

tasks By day and watched closely by
night. When they attempted to escape
