EDGE ON FO0o AND DIG ST ,OM.

The real cause of most of our diseases ID
simply an inability to digest food. This
induces thinness, weakness, loss of fiesh
and fat, loss of vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away is
consumption.
III getting thin Is what ails you, there is
only one thing to do-get fat. The only
way to do 1t Is to take something which
win help your stomach and stimulate it to
do its work
II you are tired out you do not like to
move your legs or arms. II your stomach
is tired it does not like to digest; 1t cannot
do its wosk.
To eat, or even to eat with relish does
not necessarily mean that enc Is being
nourished. Strength, vitality and flesh
are the true indications.
Getting thin is a sign that you need the

food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains artificially digested food, but It
