When your stomach begins to trou
bio you, it needs help. Tbe bolp it
needs, is to digest your food, and, un
til it gets it, yon won’t have any peace.
Stomach trouble is very distressing,
very obstinate, very dangerous. Many
of tbe most dangerous dieascs beg n
with simple indigestion. Tho reason
is that indigestion (not-digostion, not
-nourishment) we .kens tbe system and
allows disease germs to attack it. Tbe
antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative.
It cures indigestion and renews
strength and health. It does this by
strengthening tho stomach, by help
ing it to digest yonr food. It nourish
es you. Shaker Digestivo Cordial is
made of pure herbs, plants and wino,
is perfectly harmless and will certainly
cure all genuine stomach tronble. Sold
by druggists, price 10 cents to $1.00
