little Manulah Mourey, who died one

We miss our darling babe,
We miss her little form,
But why should we weep
For in heaven so sweet,
She rests with Jesus above.

We live in a country of which the
principal scourge is stomach-trouble,
1t is more widespread than any
other disease, and, very nearly more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it SO danger
Gus is that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured
take Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it goes to the root of the trouble
as no other medicine does. The pure,
harmless, curative herbs and plants,
of which it is composed, are what
render it so certain and at the same
time, so gentle cure.
It helps and strengthens the stom-
ach, purides and tones up the system.
