The Shakers, of Mount Lebanon, a
community OF simple, honest. God
fearing men and women, have pre-
pared The Shaker Digestive Cordial
for many years, and it is always the
same, simple, honest, curative medi-
cine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long-lived peo-
pie that they are. The Shakers never
have Indigestion. This is partly ow-
ing to their simple mode of life, part
ly to the wonderful properties of
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
tion is caused by the stomach glands
not supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial invigorates
the stomach and all its glands so that
after awhile they don't need help.

Digestive Cordial, the formula is
