ANEW DISCOVERY BY THE SHAKERS

For more than a hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied the
cultivation of medicinal plants, ana
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 blessing to man
kind. 1t consists Of cordial that causes
immediate relief in cases of Indigestion.
The Importance Of this discovery viii
be apparent when we realize that nearly
nine-tenths of our suffering are caused
by dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly
every person you meet has this dges-
tive trouble in some Of its varied forms
sick headache, distress after eating, PAIN
and fullness in the chest after eating,
palpitation Of the heart. etc, are but
symptoms of Indigestion. 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 It causes the food eaten
to be digested. for it is undigested food
that causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food TO be digcstod before
there is time for il TO ferment and sour
on the stomach When the food is so
dieested. it gives strength and vigor 10
the feeble body makes one feel bright
and cheerful. and makes one gain III
flesh
The Digestive Cordial Is so prompt in
its action that the very first dose Will
lave q perceptibly favorable result. II
gives immediate relief.
