GET WELL AND STAY WELL
GET RID OF WHAT MAKES you SICK AND STAY
RID OF IT.

It is so simple to be well that we won
der why there are so many SICK people.
Come to think about it, must be be-
cause they don't know what's made them
sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent
if. and when they were sick, in some
cases cure themselves. But, SO long as
we don't take more care of our health,
we shall always be more or less SICK.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indl-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealth-
lest thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons OF undigested food.
More than half of them could he cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, often when We think
we are sick we are only weak, and a
course of nourishing food digested with
out effort by the stomach with the aid
of Shaker Digestive Cordial would re-
invigorate the whole system and make
us well.
A ten cent trial bottle will prove it..
