Their words are few, simple, Sincere and direct. They waste mo energy tn ile talk; they use it in thinking and doing. And what- ever they do they do with thetr might. They are content with nothing suort of the essence amg principle of the things they investigate. They take Pains and are patient. And thus the doors of mang strange “truths open to them. In this way they Aiscovered what may almost be called the onity of disease. A venerable Shaker says of it: “It ie ‘ait that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, ‘That is but half the truth. Any man's meat is any man’s poison, under certain conditions, If the grain never got further than the bopper we should never have bread; and if bread never get further than the stomach we should never have strength. When the stomach is torpld, belpless and inflamed the food Mes tn it and rote, This fermentation produces poisons which may, and often do, disorder every other ongan and functiog of the body. This ts indigestion or dyspepeity with many symptoms and disguises. Cure tt and You care nine-tenths of your complaints.” These Wonls were uttered many years ago. Since then they have found a remedy, now known as the Shaker Digestive Corfial. It is made from mediel- nal plants cultivated by them, It is a food and digests other foods, Taken while eating it rests the stomach and nourishes the system. The pain and distresses of dyspepsia disappear before It Tt prevents fermentation and soon restores full Power to the digestion. It succeeds tn the worst cases. It is worthy the name of the people whose name it bears. Any druggist will sell you a trial bottle for ten cents. posed of a number of leading ladies of that association.
