The Shakers have made a great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be the
most successful remedy for stomach
troubles ever introduced 1t Immediately
relieves all pain and distress after eat
ing, builds up the feeble system and
makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are
better than so-called tOnics. The Cor
dial not only contains food already d.
gested, but is dgester of other foods.
Food that is not digested does more
harm than good. People who use the
Cordial insure the digestion of what food
they eat and in this way get the benefit
of it and grow strong.
The little phamphlets which the Sha.
kers have sent druggists for free distri'
