BILIOUS PILLIOUSNESS.
Why Some Bilious People Take pills and
Others Don't.

Biliousness is much misunderstood.
So many people havo IT., that its wortl
understanding tho moro so as it Is easy
enough, if you begin right.
Liver secretes fluid called bile. Bile
gees to the intestines, where it performs
important work in digestion. Sometime:
bile passages in liver get clogscd. This is
bilousncss.
"Pilltousness" is tho idea that by TAX
ing pill which stimulates tho liver, We
may euro bilousness 1t is only an idea
Pilltaking relieves but docs not cure it.
The euro can only como through the
stomach.
Why2
Blliousness Is causod by the poison oi
undi9ested food, irritating the liver. TIC
cure biliOusness, these poisOns must be got
out of tho stomach. Tho only sure way to
do this is with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial Is q pleasant,
tonic aid to digestion prepared from roots,
herbs and wine by the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon. 1t helps tho stomach to digest
its food, and sweeps out of tho system all
dangerous poisons.
In this way 1t cures biliousness, head
ache, nausea, dizziness, bad taste, stomach
ache, fever, ilatulcnco, constipation, loss
of appetite, etc, when other remedies
only give temporary relief.

Marie Jansen, one of America most
charming and popular condolences, "The
Nancy Hanks" q comedy fresh from its
last seasons triumphs and Frank Tame
hill ,Jr.,n comedian, co.star with Miss Jan
sen and author of he play are three names
which bring many bright anticipations OF
enjoyment and pleasure into the minds of
theatre aolrs who delight in bright, crisp
dialogue, cxtravagantly humorous situa
tions and complications, pretty and fas.
cinating woman, swell gowns and ad-
mirably rendered songs.
This big three combination is announced
to appear Mt tho Grand Opera House next
Tuesday night and one can safely predict
that tho audience will be big. "fho Nancy
Hanks" comes highly recommended. 1t
is something new in the way of II comedy,
q sort of evolution Of the farce comedy OF
old. 1t tells story consistently and in
terestingly and the music and songs serve
to livon tho interest for they are provoked
by the story itself.
