A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison in Your Body
Longer Than You Have To.

Longer Than You Have To.
If your stomach poisons your liver
the consequences may be serious.
What poisons arise in your stomach
come from undigested food which has
decomposed there. They are absorbed
by your blood and go to your liver,
where they paralyze its functions and
make you bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again
and are carried all over the body, dis
ordering your different organs, and per-
haps making you dangerously sick.
This is the origin of many diseases
which are not always known for what
they are.
The poisons Of undigested food can
only be got rid of by the use of puri-
flying, strengthening, digestive tonic,
like the Shaker Digestive Cordial
few doses Of this wonderful cordial
will soon clear away all undigested,
fermenting, poisonous substances, re-
store your appetite, aid you to digest
your food, purify your liver and blood
of all dangerous poisons. and restores
you to perfect health.
1t will cure biliousness. indigestion
nausea, headache, dizziness. mental de-
preston, weakness, fever, 1atulence,
constipation, loss of appetite bad taste
in mouth, stomach-ache, anaemia, rheu-
matism, etc, where other medicines
will barely give relief.
At druggists. Ten cents for a trial
