What can be done with it? There it stays. It won't di gest. It churns up, ferments and decays; becomes poisonous (as all putrid matter does) and causes great pain and deep-seated disor ders. In order to change all this, take Shaker Dig* stive Cordial. It stops fermentation and dcca;? at once, so that no more poisons nre created. It clears the stomach of p nsons already there. It helps to turn the food that remains into health ful nourishment. It strengthens the stomach for the next meal. Here's the whole philosophy and cure of indigestion in a few words. And what's more, it's all true. Try it. Shaker Digestive Cordial is for sale by druggists, price io cents to $ i .oo a bottle.
