The LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
ON FOOD AND DIGESTION,

The real cause of most of our diseases is sim
ply an inability to digest food. This induces
thnness, weakness, loss of flesh and fat, loss OF
vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant LA
bility to sickness. Wasting away is consump-
ton.
If getting thin is what ais you. there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do it
is to take something which will help your stom-
ach and stimulate it tod o its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it
does not like to digest; it cannot do its work.
To eat. or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being nourished
Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indica-
tons.
Getting thin is sign that you need the Shak
er Digestive Cordial. You would not be getting
thin if you could digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tains artiicially digested food but it will digest
other foods in the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether or
not tits going to meet the conditions of your
case, and if so, its continued use may be Deepen
ded ON to effect cure All druggists keep it in
stock.

M'KEEN LOOKING UP EVIDENCE.

Biddeford, January 27.-B. Walker Nc
Keen, the secretary of the state board of
agriculture, is manifesting great deal
of activity in his efforts to prevent the
officers Of the York County Agricultural
society from getting possession of the
stipend allowed by the state for agricul-
ttlral fairs.
Several Biddeford and Saco people have
been approached with view of getting
their stories of what they saw at the big
fair.
Secretary McKeen has conducted his
ING uiries thus. far mainly by telephone,
but he was expected here yesterday to
begin active operations. He did not ar
rive, however. There does not seem to be
any marked alaority on the part of some
of the people whom he asked to go before
the governor and council to respond to
the invitation and on that account Mr..
MoKeen has been talking of getting
subpoenas to order the attendance of his
witnesses.
