If asked the question "Have you got a stomsch?" it would be safe on general principles, to answer "Yes." But, if you are sure of 1t, that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever description in the re- zion of the stomach. you have got some- thing more than an ordinary stomach in other words, you have got diseased stomach. The stomach is a powerful muscle, and the proper remedy for a tired muscle is rest. Try the Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this product not only contains digested food, which will nourish the system without any work on the part of the diseased organs. but il aids the digestion of other foods as well. You can test it's value in your case for the trifling sum of 10 cents Sample hotties at this price are carried by all druggists.
