A NEW DISCOVERY BY TIKI SHAKERS

For more than n hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation of medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their heal
ing essences. Their labor has not been
spent In vain. They have made a dis
cOvery that will prove n blessing to
mankind. II consists Of cordial that
causes immediate relief in cases OF In
digestion. The importance of this dis
rovery will be apparent when we rea-
lie that nearly nine-tenths of our suf-
fering are caused by dyspepsia or in
digestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble In some
of its varied forms-sick headache, dis
tress after eating, pain and fullness in
the chest after eating palpltation OF the
heart, etc. are but symptoms of indl-
gestlon. To relieve these sufferings
has been the study of the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. The
reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has
such an immediate and salutary effect
IS that Il causes the food eaten TO be
dluested, for II Is undigested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food to be digcsted before
there Ia time for It to ferment and
sour on the stomach. Whom tho food
Is so dlgcsted It gives strength and
vigor TO the feeble body, makes one feel
bright and cheerful, and makes one
gain In flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in
It's action that the very first dose will
have a pcrceptlbly favorable result. IL
gives Immediate relief,
