The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a con- munity of simple, honest, God-fearing men and women, have prepared the Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years, and it is always the same, simple, honest, curative medicine that has helped to make the Shakers the healthy, long lived peo- pie that they are. The Shakers never have indigestion. This is partly owing to their simple mode of life, partly to the wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach glands not supplying enough di- gestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's wanting. Shaker Digest i've Cordial invigorates the stomach and all it's glands, so that after awhile they don't need help.
