We would like to look into the pleasant face of some one who has never had any derangement of the digestive organs. We see the drawn and unhappy faces of dyspeptics in every wall: of life. It is our national disease, and nearly all complaints spring from this source. Remove the stomach difficulty and the work is done. Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are litterally starving, because they don't digest their food.

Consumption never develops in people of robust and normal digestion. Correct the wasting and loss of flesh and we cure the disease. Do this with food. The Shaker Digestive Cordial contains already digested food and is a digester of food at the game time. Its effects are felt at once.
