When person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries physician. Con-
sumptives would never die if they
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would be no consumption if
there was no wasting of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a
failure to properly digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths of all our dis
eases date back to some arrangement
of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. 1t
acts by causing the food we eat to be
digested so as to do good, for undiges-
ted food does more harm than good.
The Cordial contains food already di-
gested and is a digester of foods as
