 ''So observe" replied the reader of signs, "but what was exciting my grey matter was the recollection of an incl. dent called to mind by this item about the Rod and Gun Club"

The Shakers have made a great hit. Their Digestive Cordial is said to be the most successful remedy for stomach troubles ever introduced. It immedi- ately relieves all pain and distress after eating. builds up the feeble system aud makes the weak strong.
 The fact is, foods properly dieested are better than so-called tonics. The Cordial not only contains food already digested, but is a dlgester of other foods. Food that is not digested does more harm than good. People who use the Cordial insure the digestion of what food they eat and in this way get the benefit of it and grow strong.
 The little pamphlets which the Shak- CTS have sent druggists for free distri- button, contain mnch interesting infor- nation on the subject of dyspepsia.
