'For five weeks lived on cold water, so
to speak, - writes man who suffered ter
ribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed wasn't properly
digested and gave him terrible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dyspep-
tics don't get enough nourshment. They
are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there's
no telling what disease they may yet next
That's why it is best to take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms of in
digestion appear
1t cures all the evils of indigestion, and
prevents the evils Indigestion causes.

BROKEN BRIC=A=BRACS

Mr.. Major the famous cement man OF New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudCs who use this standard
article know that it Is many hundred per
cent. better than other dement's for which
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
ana other manufactures do not use them,
because they are too expensive and do not
allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements OF his cement costs S}15
Il pound, and another costs 81 % gallon,
while HGargc share of the so-callcd ccmeuts
ana liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than siXtccn-cent glue, dissolved in
water or critic acid, and in some cases, alter
cd slightly in color and odor by the addition
OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement rctails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when II dealer
tries to sell II substitute you can depend upon
1t that his only object is to make larger
profits.
The profit on Majors cement Is us much us
any dealer ought to make on any cemt nj.
And this is doubly true N view OF the fact that
each dealer gets his share of the benefit of
Mr.. Majors advertising, which now amounts
to over 5000 month"; throughout the coun-
try. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
Oiihand advice from druggists.
II you are at all handy you will be likely to
find that you are Il good deal more so than
You imaginc) you can repair your rubber
boots and family shoes, and any other rubber
and leather articles, with Majors Rubber
Cement and Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how many dol
lars year you will thus save.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you 50 often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion. "
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous eXhau-
Stion and sometimes the heart aches bad
ly.
The cause is weak. unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis.
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need med-
cine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and diseas-
ed kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney-poisoned blood, clear their complex
ion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the regular sizes at the

or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discovery
