NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FATS ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should eat
proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is that they
suffer from Indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't get
enough nourishment They are slowly being
starved. They are poisoned by the products of
termented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a gentle, natural,
vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your
stomach Just like the digestive juices, and turns
it into healthful nourishment. 1t helps your
tomachnaturally. 1t makes thin dyspeptics
fat. Itmakes poisonous blood pure. 1t tones
up and cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, because nothing else goes so
naturally about it,
This is why it has been so successful in re-
lieving nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness,
bad TASTE fever, fatulence, constipation. loss
OF appetite, headache, neuralgia, rheumatism,
&C., by curing the disorder which causes the
symptoms.
A few doses will prove its value, but you
won't get fat on one bottle.
All druggists. Ten cents for trial bottle.

Shakers, 80 Reade Street, New York.

standing that the kitchens of these wilder

of the most common essentials of cookery,
there was ne lack of good things nor OF

earth, the air and the water had yielded OF
their bountiful supplies, and the good
DANES had done honor to their skill and
ingenuity by setting before their hungry
guests and companions repast as sumptu-
GUS and tempting as it was varied and de-
lightful. Foremost of all there was roast
turkey, dressed with beechnuts; then came
rare yenison pasties savory meat stews
with dumplings of barley -four, delicious
oysters-the gift of the Indians, and the
first ever tasted by the white men-great
bowls Of clam chowder with sea biscuit
floating on the steaming broth, roasts OF
all kinds, brofied fish, salads, cakes and
plum porridge, while the center of each OF
the long tables was adorned with large

through the drowsy haze, illumining the
somber woodland with rich golden light,
while the gentle winds of the south, laden
with the sweet perfumes of the forest,

add to the joy and brightness of this
Thanksgiving feast. Upon the balmy air
arose the hum of many voices and the
merry music of laughter as the pilgrims
with their Indian guests partook of the
feast that the Provider of all things had
given them y
