IIHE SHAKERS IDEA Of MEDICINE.

\. Now aflays when man goes 10 his doc
tor, he ispsnally told thathe has some un-
heard OF disease with long name. aud
lWhen be leaves the office he does not know
whether 1t Is St. Vitus Dance or oonsump-
,tion that is gradually undermining his
health.
Its therefore refreshing to talk with
the Shakers for their very simplicity COM
imands confidence and respect, and we have
hhe further satisfaction of knowing that
4 they have devoted themselves to the study
of disease and Its cure for more than
hundred years.
a The venerable old man whom the writer
says was only too glad to discuss his pct
subject. He said that strange as 1t might
seem, very few doctors realized that three.
4 quarters Of the most prevalent diseases
were all attributable to faulty digestion,
u He then went on to say that child Of
average intelligence knows that putrid
meat or decaying vegetables are. poisonous,
and must be avoided, and yet these same
foods, even II taken into the stomachin
the freshest possible condition soon decom.
pose unless digesied and absorbed.
lii such cases the resulting poisons enter
the system, when aches anu pains. weak
mess and debility soon follow as natural
i consequences
n II was recognition OF this that led the
Shakers to devote their energies to the
.lperfcction of product which would
stimulate the digestive organs and assist
them to perform their proper work.
The first symptom of disordered diges
tion Is loss of appetite, and the Shaker
Digestive Cordial is wonderfully efficient
4 IN supplying any deficiency in this respect,
at the same time it relieves all distress
after eating. Furthermore, as was care.
fully explained by our venerable friend, it
Is absolutely harmless
IN Better evidence of the Shakers conf
dence in it could not be found, than in the
fact that they have placed 10 cont sample
! bottles in The hands of all druggists, as
! @nred that If once tried it will produce
'nnch immediate and marked benefit that
