According to celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5000. 900 little
glands in the human stomach.
These glands pour out tile digestive
juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigestion is want of juice,
weakness OF glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs,
The best and most natural help is
that given by Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. Natural, because it supplies
the materials needed by the glands
to prepare juices. Because it
strengthens and invisorates the
glands and the stomach, until they
are able to do their work alone
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indi-
gestion certainly and permanently.
1t does so by natural means, and
therein lies the secret of its wonder
ful and UNMARRIED success.

Mr., Bryan in OTTO.

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan continued his
campaigning tour in Ohio Friday
He spoke at Mount Vstnon TO about
10000 persons in the morning. Ex.
cursions were run here from several
counties. The crush about Mr.. lry.
an was 80 great as to make it dill.
cult for him to leave his carriage.
He was hoarse while speaking.
Later Mr.. Bryan addressed mass
meetings at Newark and Shawnee
which were largely attended. He
discussed the silver question as asi
his meetings. and also reviewed the
records of President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna.
The first six months Of the McEin.
ley administration, Mr.. Bryan said,
were the most disastrous in tho his.
tory of the country. He charged
Senator Hanna with hostility TO labor
interests and also With being the
"chief coaspirasor" 10 the prssiden.
tial campaign Of last year, whom the
result, he said, was due to the twin
agents Of fraud and coercion, and
was traceable TO the money powers
OF this and other oouutriea Contin.
uing he saidi
''The gold standard was conceived
in avarice. fastened upon the people
by stealth, continued by fraud. and
its high priest WAS Hanna."
He warned his hearers sgainst
frauds in Ohio. Mr.. Bryan said the
Democrats got as many votes in
Ohio last November as was expected, ,
but that the Republicans got moro
than there wac any reason 10 expect.
