After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. If you do,
you have indigestion, which means not

best to take it in hand at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di.
gestion and cures Indigestion. Ii
does this by providing the digestive
material in which the sick stomach is
wanting. 1t also tones up and strength.

them perfectly healthy. This is the ra-

A BACK BLOW.
The Weapon Small - but None More
Certain or Effective.

In these times when backs are lame,
when almost every other one we meet has
now and then, or all the time, back that
aches or pains GO weak back, " bad
back" a back that makes their life mis-.
cry to bear and still they 60 on day By
day in pain and suffering. Now It's the
easiest thing in the world to give this
played out back "a blow that will settle
it, and put in its place new one equal to
any. It's just like this: hit at the cause !;
most backaches come from kidney disoi-
ders. Reach the kidneys, start their
clogged-up fibres in operation; when this
is done you can say good bye to backache.
Here is case from Battle Creek. Mr..
Josiah M. Shoup lives at 81 Broad Street,
he was member of the Battle Creek po.
lice force for many years. AS a member
of the force he served the city WELL but
the rough weather he was often subjected
to laid the foundation of kidney disorder.
which has troubled him very much. Here
is what he says about it:
About three years ago, while on the
police force, contracted from exposure a
kidney trouble, which has since given me
no end of trouble. The pain was right
through my kidneys and across the small
of my back; if sitting down and l wanted
to stand up, had to arise very slowly and
gently to avoid increasing the pain; / had
such tired-out feelings all the time, and
was steadily getting worse About two
months ago, hearing of Doans Kidney
Pills, got box. Their action and effect
was most complete, they removed the old
aching pains for good. l can now get
around as quickly as anybody. Doan's
Kidney Pills are certainly as represented.

AT THE CREAMERY.


 The flowers at the creamery attract 8 good deal attention, and elicit the ad- miration of all passers by. Mrs Nunn, wife of the Creamery nan, has arranged several long boxes by the side of the creamery, which are filled with gerani- ums and Towering plants. She ia an adept, evidently, in the culture of flowers. At the creamery, by the way, the output is now about TOO pounds weekly, which is quickly taken up by the trade. MT Nunn keeps the cream cry as sweet and clean as 1t Is possible for 1t to be kept, and the product is necessarIally first class.
