What use is there in eating when food
does you no good-in fact, when
it does you more harm than good, for
such is the case if it is not digested? ?
If you have loathing for food
there is no use of forcing it down, for it
will not be digested You must restore
the digestive organs TO their natural
strength and cause the food to be digest
ed, when an appetite will come, and with
1t a relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling viii give
place to vigor and energy; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial as
made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains foood already digested and is
