We would like to look into the pleas ant face of some one who has never had any derangement of the digestive or gans. We see the drawn and unhappy faces of dyspeptics in every walk of life. It is our national disease, and nearly all complaints spring from this source. Remove the stomach difficulty and the work is done.
 Dyspeptics and pale. thin people are literally starving. because they don't di- gest their food. Consumption never de- velops in people of robust and normal digestion. Correct the wasting and loss of flesh and we cure the disease. Do this with food.
 The Shaker Digestive Cordial con- tains already digested food and is di- gester of food at the same time. Its effects are felt at once. Get pamph- let of your druggist and learn about it.
