The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in.
vented great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms ~
machinery; the first to put up seed in
little packages; the first to p,apufacture
cut nails. Now they are out with n
method of curing dysbepsia by resting
tho stomach. There is remedy known
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t
supplies food in an artifcialIy digested
form and at the same time aids the di-
gestion of other foods in the tomach.
In other words, by the use of the
Shsker Digestive Cordial dyspeptic
virtually geas along without the use of
his stomach until it is restored to its
natural strength and vigor. A single
10 cent bottle will oft.times give mark.
ed relief. Get bottle from your drug

LAXOL is the best medicine for chill

of Castor Oil.
