How the Shakers Cook, t-

How THEY LIVE.
Have you ever eaten a meal at any of the Shaker
Communities 2 Probably not, as these good people
live so much apart from the rest of the world. For
this reason an account of a visit paid them by a Cin-
cinnati lady, Mrs. Margaret Sinclair, with her hus-
band and daughter, cannot fail to prove interesting.
Omitting a few personal matters, we are permitted
to print her letter just as she wrote it some time
afterwards to a friend in Omaha, Nebraska:
CINCINNAT1, June 30, 1888.
My dear Amy:—I must write you a long letter
and tell you about the day we spent at the Shaker
village at Mt. Lebanon, Columbia Co., New York.
This is the oldest and most famous community of
Shakers in the country. It is delightfully situated,
and in summer one of the most attractive places we
saw on our eastern trip. - The spot itself, set in a
frame of leafy mountains, will always be a pleasant
picture on the walls of memory.
Our party of three was not expected, but our note
of introduction at once secured for us a kindly wel-
come. It was a few minutes past ten in the fore-
noon when we alighted from the wagon that had
brought us from the railroad, and almost on the
stroke of twelve we were told that dinner was ready.
As we rose to follow the sweet-faced Shakeress who
acted as guide, we all felt some doubt and trepida-
tion as to how we should acquit ourselves in the
strange society we were to meet. But who can ever
tell what is going to happen 2 Let me begin a fresh
paragraph and try to describe what really did
happen.
When the idea of visiting the Shakers first came
into my head, I ſancied myself eating at the table

Q LOWELL PUIDDING.
One coffee-cup of milk, one cup raisins, half cup molasses,
half teacup of brown sugar, one teacup of suet, one teaspoonful of
Saleratus, half teaspoonful salt; flour, to make a stiff batter.
Boil three hours. Serve with sauce.
YANEEE PLUM PUDDING.
Take a tin pudding boiler that shuts all over tight with a
Cover. Butter it well. Put at the bottom some stoned raisins,
and then a layer of baker's bread cut in slices, with a little butter
or Suet alternately, until you nearly fill the tin. Take milk
enough to fill your boiler, as they vary in size, and to every
quart add three or four eggs, some nutmeg and salt, and sweeten
with half Sugar and half molasses. Drop it into boiling water
and let it boil three or four hours, and it can be eaten with a
Comparatively clear conscience.
IXIELIGHTFUL PUID.DING.
Butter a dish ; sprinkle the bottom with finely minced candied
peel and a very little shred suet, then a thin layer of white
bread, and So on until the dish is full. For a pint dish make a
liquid Custard of one egg and one-half pint of milk, sweeten,
#. over the pudding, and bake as slowly as possible for two
OUITS.

with hundreds of them in a great bare room, slowly
and solemnly discussing the vanities of life. Into
some such place I now counted on being shown.
What, then, was my astonishment to find our din-
ner awaiting for us in one of the cunningest little
snuggeries you ever set eyes on, and not a soul there!
The room was exactly the size of the closet in the
Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, where Mary, Queen of
Scots, used to have a few select friends at tea. There
was just space enough for a table and chairs for
three or four persons. It adjoined the great kitchen,
and through the open door between the two rooms
we could see the neat-handed, quick-footed women
doing up their work.
It was plain we were to dine alone, which seemed
rather strange. It made us feel for a moment as
though we were in a queer sort of a hotel rather
than in the bosom of a hospitable Christian family.
Evidently the Shakers were going to give us food,
but not the pleasure of their company. Later in the
day the mystery was cleared up. . It appears they
never eat with “the world's people,” nor allow pro-
fane eyes to see them at their meals. The members
of every separate family—for there are several fami-
lies in each society or village—eat at the same table
in a large dining-room, the men and women at dif-
ferent tables. They kneel in prayer before eating, .
and in thanks after, and partake of their meals in
silence.
But as to the dinner they gave us. How shall I
speak of it without making you think I am half
turned Shaker myself! You may say we were al-
most famished with our ride from New York and
our climb up the mountain, and so were led to put a
higher estimate on the dinner than it really deserved.
We were hungry, that’s a fact; but my appetite
didn't upset my judgment: I was cool and critical

as ever. I am not going to give you the bill of fare
now. I’ll save that up, as the children say, till I see
you. Meanwhile I will simply say that I never un--
derstood before to what perfection the art of cooking
can be brought. Now, I want you to get my exact
meaning. There was nothing “rich" about the
meal in the English or French sense. It was “plain.”
cooking made delicious to the palate, tempting to
the eye, and, as we found, in the highest degree di-
gestible and nutritious.
I ought in particular to mention the Shaker bread. .
It is a thing by itself. In the first place it is light,
without being fluffy or spongy, like the baker's
bread. How I hate baker's bread | But we women
will remain bond slaves to the bakers and the Ser-
vant girls till we have the brains and the industry to
do our own cooking and baking. I hope the Shaker
will send out missionaries all over the land to teach
us to make bread as they make it. Their bread,
whether white or brown, is substantial; there is
something of it; it is the bread of our mothers (the
best of them), only it has a flavor and an eatableness
those dear departed ladies seldom attained to.
Yet, the Shakers eat to live; they do not live to
eat. They are temperate in all things, and abstain
from everything they believe to be harmful to body
or soul. They are a long-lived people; their habits
are against disease, and I can hardly imagine how
they contrive to get sick enough to die at last.
Whether women wear silks or serges they are
human just the same, and a few complimentary
words about the dinner, spoken in the ears of the
sister who waited upon us, led to my being invited
into the kitchen. That sanctuary had all the modern’
improvements, but it was not these that struck me:
it was the immaculate neatness and cleanliness, and ,

the evidences of the order and system that ruled
everything. A woman familiar with that kitchen
could put her hand on what she wanted in the dark.
There were no unkept holes or corners; no places
where the dirt is swept up and the broom set in front
of it, as in many a kitchen I have seen (not in yours,
my dear). I once asked a guide in the great Milan
Cathedral why the artists had finished the hidden
sides of the statues, set against the walls, as finely
as the fronts, inasmuch as nobody could see behind
them. His reply nicely illustrates the Shaker prin-
ciple: “Madam,” said he, “this church is dedicated:
to God, not to man, and God sees all sides.”
Of course there is nothing magical or mysterious
about the Shakers' cooking. Any woman can do
what they do if she will only work in their way.
They begin at the beginning, which is all-important.
They use the best materials, and treat their food as
they treat their religion—squarely and honestly.
They don't begrudge labor, study, trouble and pa-
tience. Yet this is not quite all: they understand
the secret of combinations. Every housewife knows
there are some articles of food that are good to the
taste and bad for the stomach; others that are less
palatable, but easier to digest and more nutritious,
etc. Now the chief problem before a conscientious
cook is: how to make all nutritious things accept-
able to the taste, and others as little harmful as
possible.

This implies a knowledge of culinary chemistry—
not as taught in books, but as it is learned by women
who cook with their eyes open. It is the “know
how,” and the Shaker women—who are the Salt of
the earth for good sense and gentleness—possess it
as no others do that I ever saw or heard of.
Perhaps I spent two hours in that kitchen talking

AIFPLE GINGER.
A DESSERT DISH.
Two pounds of any kind of hard apples, two pounds of loaf
Sugar, One and One-half pints of water, one ounce of tincture of
ginger; boil the Sugar and water until they form a rich syrup,
adding the ginger when it boils up. Pare, core and cut the
apples into pieces; dip them into cold water to preserve the
Color, and boil them in the syrup until transparent; but be careful
not to let them break. Put the pieces of apple into jars, pour
Over the Syrup, and carefully exclude the air by covering them
Well. If kept in a dry place, it will remain good some time.
SAGO AND WINE.
Wash an ounce of sago in cold water; put it over the fire in a
pint of cold water, let it slowly approach the boiling point, and
boil it gently until tender; then stir into it two tablespoonfuls
of Sugar and a glass of Madeira or Sherry wine, and serve it hot
Or cold.
LARDIED POTATOES.
After washing, use an apple-corer to take a piece out of the
potatoes from end to end; in each case put a strip of salt pork or
bacon, Seasoned with pepper, and bake them in an earthen dish in
Which they can be sent to the table. Serve them hot.

about cooking and cookery with those modest and
intelligent women, and on ending a pleasant and
memorable experience, one of them put a bundle of
recipes in my hand, saying, “Here are a few of the
recipes we use, and find them good. Thee is welcome
to print them or give them away.” I have since
tried many of them, and friends have tried others,
and our joint opinion is they are the best we ever
had. That is why I send copies of them to you.
You may ask how the Shakers live—what is their
source of income 7 Well, they own a large area of
land and make many useful articles for the market,
but for many years past the great business of the
Mt. Lebanon Community has been the manufacture
and sale of a medicine for the cure of indigestion
and dyspepsia. Millions of bottles of it are made
and sold every year. The Shakers have agencies
for the distribution of it in England, Belgium, Ger-
many, Italy, Spain, Australia, Turkey, India, Africa,
and indeed all over the globe. They showed us
proofs of this, and then took us through the exten-
sive buildings where the medicine is prepared. You
never see any advertisements of it in the papers, and
so we naturally wondered how the demand could be
SO great.
When we asked the brother who was doing the
honors to explain the mystery, he said: “There is
nothing wonderful in that when you once under-
stand what our medicine is. It does what we say
it will do, and so it has a good name. Those who
are cured tell their neighbors; then they try it and
tell others, and the news of it goes out like the
ripples when you throw a stone into the water. It
has become known all over the world in that way.
But,” he added, with a quiet kind of pride, “you
must know that only a thoroughly excellent, honest
and necessary article can get to be famous by word

only until they are tender enough to break Open easily, and
serve as soon as they are done; cover them only with a napkin

is never So nice if it has been allowed to stand before it is eaten.

Peel, slice and fry in tablespoonfuls of drippings half a
dozen Onions; boil, peel and slice a quart of potatoes, or heat
with a little butter some cold sliced ones; season them with salt
. and pepper, pour the onions over them, and serve them hot.
Bacon fried, and served with this dish, is excellent; the bacon

“I can understand that,” I replied, “but please
tell me why such a tremendous quantity of medicine
is required for only one disease—indigestion and
dyspepsia” It can’t be that everybody is afflicted
With it.” &
“No, not quite everybody,” answered the grave
Shaker, with a momentary smile, “but it is, never-
theless, so common that probably three out of every
four persons you meet have it in some form and

wnder some name or other.”
This time I confess he surprised me. Indigestion
and dyspepsia “wnder some name or other P' What
could he mean? w
Seeing the look of amazement on my face he went
on to say: “Since my words are not clear to you I
will try to make them so. We Shakers hold that as
all animal life is sustained by the digestion and as-
similation of food, so nearly all diseases arise from
some impediment in those functions. Let me give
you a simple illustration: Suppose a person runs a
large splinter into one of his fingers. It causes pain
and inflammation, followed by a festering Sore. No
remedies do any good until the splinter is removed.
Now, indigestion is like that splinter. We suffer
from aches, pains and twenty different ailments and
diseases, and don't know how to cure them or ac-
count for them. Sometimes we have pains in the
head, and are so giddy we fear we shall fall; our food
distresses us; we are upset with nausea; we are ner-.
vous, irritable and gloomy; we cannot sleep; the
eyes and skin take a yellow tinge; the heart beats in
an irregular way; the breath is short and a hacking
cough sets in, and we are terrified with the thought
of consumption; the hands and feet are cold and
clammy; we feel tired without reason and have no
ambition. (Continued on page 12.)

“These things, with many more, are commonly
treated by physicians as though they were distinct
diseases. The doctors give them long and learned
names, whereas they are nothing more or less than .
symptoms of the real trouble, which is indigestion
and dyspepsia. We Shakers also hold that malaria,
rheumatism, liver and kidney complaints, all arise
from bad digestion, having for many years observed
that when the stomach is º; set right by
our medicine, these afflictions completely disappear.”
On examining the laboratory where the remedy is
prepared, we found the same scrupulous cleanliness
and attention to detail as are seen in all the Shakers
do. As might be expected, considering the honest
and upright people from whom it comes, their medi-
cine is made of herbs, and is not only harmless, but
may be taken freely, and with benefit, by the young-
est child as well as by the aged and feeble. But you
must not run away with the idea that everyone
can go and gather a few weeds and make it. Quite
the contrary, for the plants from which its virtues
are drawn are especially cultivated by the Shakers,
who alone know the nature and secrets of them.
They must be raised on a particular soil, and
gathered at the season when the juices are flowing
most freely; and to judge when to do this calls for a
keen practical knowledge of the botany of medicinal
plants, and long experience.
I may add that it is this that renders the Shaker
medicine better than anv and all others for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and all the terrible train of com-
plaints which spring from them. How I wish that
all the women in America knew it!
But I am writing so long a letter that if I don’t
stop soon I shan’t be able to raise the money to pay
the postage. So I will say that we were so con-
vinced of the honesty, ability and knowledge of our
Shaker friends that we ceased to wonder that the
Shaker Extract of Roots, or Mother Seigel's Cura-
tive Syrup—for that is the name of it—had gone
through the world as they said it had.
On leaving this delightful and peaceful village in
the cool of the early June evening our little party of
three pilgrims from Ohio were at a loss which most
to admire—the Shaker character, the Shaker cook-
ing, or the Shaker Extract of Roots.

John Bostwick's BATTLE.

Among the many Snug homes in the midland
counties of England there are few more attractive
than that of John Bostwick. He and his wife had
been married ten years, and four children had blessed
their union, which was a genuine love match.
They had lived happily together, and only once had
their sky been clouded. That was when little Mary,
a bright, pretty girl of six, had died in her mother's
arms, and was buried in a grassy corner of the parish
churchyard. But both father and mother were
young, the other children seemed to cuddle still closer
to their parents' hearts, and smiles finally came
back where tears had been, as sunshine follows a
shower. Yet not at once, for Mary had been her
father's pet, although he could not be said to have
neglected the others for her sake. For John was a
domestic man, and when the day's business was
done he was sure to go straight home, his mind full
of pleasant fancies about the greetings that awaited
him there. * --
Matters went on in this way for perhaps a year
after the death of little Mary, when the husband and
father began to look and act unlike his old self. It
was not drink or bad company—his wife well knew
that—for no man in broad England had better prin-
ciples or steadier habits than John Bostwick. At
first she noticed that his step was slower than it
used to be ; that his face looked anxious and drawn,
and he appeared to enjoy his meals less than former-
ly. Once he had been lavish of his compliments on
the dishes she prepared ; now he no longer praised
her skill as a cook. Occasionally he would speak
rather peevishly of the cares and vexations of his
business, yet she had often heard him express a
wish that he had more to do, so strong and vigorous

TO ROAST A LEG OF PORK.
Take a sharp knife and Score the skin across the narrow Stripes
(you may cross it again. So as to form diamonds) and rub in Some
powdered sage. Raise the skin at the knuckle and put in a stuff.
ing of minced Onion and Sage, bread crumbs, pepper, Salt, and
beaten yelk of egg. Fasten it down with a buttered string or
skewers. You may make deep incisions in the meat of the large
end of the leg, and Stuff them also, pressing in the filling Very
hard. Rub a little SWeet Oil all Over the Skin with a brush Or a
goose feather, to make it crisp and of a handsome brown. A leg
of pork will require from three to four hours to roast. Moisten
it all the time by brushing it with sweet oil, or with fresh but-
ter tied in a rag. To baste it with its own drippings will make the
skin tough and hard. Skim the fat carefully from the gravy,
Which Should be thickened With a little flour.
A roast leg of pork should always be accompanied by apple
Sauce, mashed potatoes and mashed turnips. &
QUICK WAFFLES.
Two pints of sweet milk, one cupful of melted butter, sifted
flour to make a soft batter; add the well-beaten yelks of six eggs,
then the beaten whites, and lastly (just before baking) four tea-
spoonfuls of baking powder, beating very hard and fast for a few
minutes. These are very good with four or five eggs, but much
better With more.

did he feel, and so elastic were his spirits. The fond
wife knew enough of her husband's affairs, however,
to be certain he was planning and toiling beyond
his strength. This labor, with his half-hidden grief
over the loss of little Mary, was bringing trouble,
but in what form she could not tell. M
Mrs. Bostwick had not noticed this change with-
out speaking of it to him, and urging him to tell her
just how he felt, and, if necessary, to consult a medi-
cal man. But he invariably answered: “Oh, Susie,
don't worry. I haven’t felt very well lately, but it's
nothing serious. You shouldn't notice it. I’ll be all
right soon. Perhaps I’ve worked a trifle too hard
this summer. I don’t need a doctor or any medicine.
You would have me real ailing if I let you do as you
like.” W
Speaking in such words as these John would quiet
his wife for the moment, but he did not convince
her. & ,
One night late in September he entered the house
earlier than usual and sank into the arm-chair before
the fire. The children gathered round his knees and
began their prattle of the day's events in their small
lives, and to ply him with questions as to what he
had seen and done since that distant period, in a
child's estimate—the morning. Making short replies,
or none at all, he pushed them gently away, bent
his head upon his hand and remained perfectly
silent. Entering the room from another part of the
house, and surprised to see her husband home So
early, Susan walked softly to his side, pressed a light
and loving kiss upon his forehead, but, with the
wise instinct of a woman, made no remark. Dinner
was presently on the table; the food was plentiful
and good, yet it was a dull and cheerless meal, for
“Papa,” contrary to his habit, ate little and said less.
Seeing that her husband was really ill, Susan per-

QUICK SALLY LUNN.
One cupful of sugar, half cupful of butter; stir well together,
and then add one or two eggs; put in one good pint of sweet milk
and sufficient flour to make a batter about as stiff as cake; put in
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder; bake and eat hot with butter
for tea. Or breakfast.
MINCE PIES.
Three pounds of raisins, stone and chop them a little; three
pounds of currants, three pounds of Sugar, three pounds of suet
chopped very fine, two ounces of candied lemon peel and two
ounces of candied Orange peel, six large apples grated, one
ounce of cinnamon, two nutmegs, the juice of three lemons and
the rind grated, and a half a pint of brandy. This is a very ex-
cellent recipe.
TAPIOCA JELLY.
Wash the tapioca carefully in two or three waters, then soak
it for five or six hours, then simmer it in a stew-pan until it
becomes quite clear. Add a little lemon juice or wine if de-
sired.

suaded him to retire to bed. Yet he could not sleep.
He was sick at the stomach and very feverish. His
breath was short and quick and his hands and feet
cold. _ºv-º
“John,” said Susan, “you had better let me send
for the doctor. You never had a spell like this be-
fore, and it worries me.” º
“Nonsense, wife,” he replied, sharply. “It’s a
mere cold, and it will work off itself. Do lie down
and be still.” ge
But there was to be no rest for either of them.
All night long he burned with fever. At times he
was light-headed, and talked in a disjointed fashion
of his business and of little Mary. An hour or two
after midnight he fell into a troubled sleep, from
which he awoke several times with a cry, as people
do from nightmare. Morning came at last, and in
spite of his wretched night Bostwick arose, swallowed
a cup of strong coffee and went to his business. The
reader may say he was a fool, but John Bostwick
had the old-fashioned English grit, and would stick
by a friend or fight a foe as long as he could stand
up and see. And illness was his enemy. w
His wife, less pugilistic, attended to her most
pressing household duties, and then sought an hour
or two of much-needed rest.
Nature loves pauses and intervals.
Only one sea-wave out of many is dangerously
large. She gives neither good nor bad without a
break. For some time there was no repetition of
the miserable experience just related. But John was
not himself again. In mind and body he had lost
his grip. He grew more and more testy and irritable.
Little things fretted him. He mistook mole-hills
for mountains. He acted like a man who expected
bad news—he knows not what or whence. He com-
plained of headache, dullness and inability to fix

TURREY SOUP.
Take the turkey bones and cook for one hour in water enough
to cover them, then stir in a little of the dressing and a beaten egg.
A little Chopped celery improves it. Take from the fire, and
when the water has ceased boiling add a little butter, with pepper
and Salt.
MUTTON BROTHI.
This is often ordered for invalids. It should be made as plainly
as possible, and so as to secure the juice of the meat. Boil slowly
about two pounds of lean mutton for two hours; skim it very
carefully as it simmers, and do not put in much salt. Some vege-
tables may be added as a seasoning, and for some broths a little
barley or rice.
ONION GRUEL.
This is excellent for a cold. Slice down a few onions and boil
them in a pint of new milk, stir them in a sprinkle of oatmeal and
a very little Salt ; boil till the onions are quite tender, then sup
rapidly and go to bed. G
TOMATO soup.
Three pounds of beef, one quart of canned tomatoes, one gallon
of water. Let the meat and water boil for two hours, or until the
liquid is reduced to a little more than two quarts. Then stir in
the tomatoes, and stew all slowly for three-quarters of an hour
longer. Season to taste, strain and serve.

his attention on any single object or purpose. The
children no longer counted on “Papa" as a play-
mate. Now and then he would speak so roughly ašA
to send them to their mother in tears and terror. He
partook of his meals mostly in silence, eating lit-
tle and speaking only to find fault. Surely our
friend John was getting into a very bad form indeed.
Patient Susan bore all this as well as she could.
She knew her husband had not changed—it was the
mysterious disease which had swept the smile from
his face and the loving words from his lips.
John Bostwick was a hopeless dyspeptic. His
whole manner told the story. His business friends
remarked that he did not show his former sharpness
and clear headedness in buying and selling. He said
he had a feeling at the pit of his stomach as though
something was gone; a sensation that food could
not overcome. Quite often he would be seized with
sickness, and throw up his food because he could not
digest it. He had a bad taste in his mouth, especial-
ly in the morning, and was disgusted to find a slimy
substance on his gums; and when Susan hinted to
him how offensive his breath was, he angrily told her
to mind her own business. Nothing can more forci-
bly indicate what a change had come over the con-
siderate and gentlemanly John Bostwick. He had
pains in his chest, sides and back, and underwent
miserable torment from constipation. For the latter
trouble his physician prescribed cathartics and laxa-
tives, none of which gave more than transient relief.
How tired the poor fellow got of salts—Epsom salts,
Rochelle salts, and all the salty tribe. They made
him sick and chilled him to the marrow. And as to
the pills which he was coaxed to swallow, they
weakened and sickened him without abating one jot
the constipation that gave rise to all his pains and
sorrows. Having exhausted nature without curing

TO MAKE HEN'S LAY IN WINTER.
Keep them Warm, keep corn constantly by them, but do not
feed it to them. Feed them with meat scraps, when lard or
tallow has been tried, or fresh meat. Some people chop green
peppers fine, or feed Cayenne pepper mixed with corn meal. Let
the hens have a frequent taste of green food, a little gravel and
lime, or clam shells.
|
OYSTER SOUP.
Take one quart of water, one teacupful of butter, one pint of
milk, two teaspoonfuls of salt, four crackers rolled fine, and a tea-
Spoonful of pepper. Bring to full boiling heat as soon as possible,
then add one quart of oysters. Let the whole come to a boiling
heat quickly, and remove from the fire.
TEIPE TOMATO PICKLES.
To Seven pounds of ripe tomatoes add three pounds of sugar,
one quart of vinegar; boil them together fifteen minutes, skim out
the tomatoes and boil the syrup a few minutes longer. Spice to
suit the taste with cloves and cinnamon.
SPLEN DID OMELET.
Six eggs, whites and yelks beaten separately; half pint of milk;
six teaspoonfuls of corn starch; one teaspoonful of baking powder,
and a little salt; add the whites, beaten to a stiff froth, fast ; Cook
in a little butter. <->

the disease, the doctors washed their hands of John's
troubles and withdrew from the field.
Then his friends took their turn at advising and
dosing the luckless man. There was hardly an old
woman's decoction or a patent medicine in the king-
dom that he did not make a trial of; yet the disease
marched steadily on, and through her failing hopes
and falling tears poor Susan saw the approach of the
terrible day on which her John would sleep beside
their little Mary, and she would have to travel on—
alone ! For the once energetic and masterful man
was now obliged to place his business in other hands
and confine himself to the house and its vicinity."
On attempting a short walk one fair day, accom-
panied by his little boy, John suddenly reeled and
fell full length by the side of the road. The child's
screams alarmed the neighbors, who lifted him to
his feet and assisted him home. He said that as he
was walking slowly along the landscape began to
whirl, then all was dark, and he remembered no
more until he found himself supported by his friends.
This was vertigo—one of the results of advanced
chronic dyspepsia and nervous debility.
At this stage of John's ailment the slightest
exertion tired him, and the least excitement
brought on palpitation of the heart, of which at
times it seemed as though he would suffocate. Bad
dreams nightly disturbed his sleep, and the horror of
them would often remain vivid for hours after he
awoke. Worse than all a portentous cough set in,
with light-colored expectoration, which after a time
was streaked with blood. *
Susan, now thoroughly alarmed, was convinced
that her husband was fast dying of that dread
scourge, consumption, and all who saw him were of
the same opinion. After this frightful aspect of the
disease showed itself there seemed no ground for hope.

Poor John Bostwick grew more thin and feeble daily.
His tongue was covered with canker spots, his face
was sharp, and his eyes more prominent as the flesh
wasted away. He almost revolted at the sight or
smell of food, and a glass of milk two or three times
a day was about all he could take. It really looked
as if he must perish of starvation, as indeed he was
doing, for dyspepsia both poisons and starves its
miserable victims. Thus the dreary winter passed,
the longest and saddest in the life of the anxious yet
patient mother, and the strangest in the lives of the
children, who, from day to day, looked eagerly from
the window, wondering how soon the summer
would come again. ſº
One day in the following May, Bostwick was feel-
ing somewhat easier than usual, and his wife said:
“John, it is beautiful weather, and our kind neighbor
Gordon says he would like to have you go for a little
drive with him. I very much wish you would go, if
you are able, dear John ; it may do you good.” *
It was a struggle to persuade the weak and broken
man to make the necessary effort, but he did so at
last, and with a smile on her weary face, yet with
tears of sorrow in her fond blue eyes, Susan watched
the wagon pass slowly around the foot of the hill
and out of sight. It seemed to the poor woman that
her husband, who was, if possible, dearer to her in
his helplessness than he had been in his strength,
would go from their door but once again, and then—
overwhelmed at the picture her fancy had conjured
up, she walked quickly from the porch.
What followed must be briefly told. When Gordon,
with his charge, had driven about a mile across the
sweet and sunny English landscape, they both saw
a man coming toward them, walking with a long,
free, swinging stride, as though he had a stock of
health and vigor for himself and a dozen other men.

LEMON PIE.
Take juice and grated rind of one lemon ; stir together with
three-fourths of a cupful of white sugar and one cupful of water;
lastly, stir in four eggs, well beaten (reserving the whites of two
for frosting). Fill into crust and bake. For frosting, beat the
whites of two eggs, reserved, to a stiff broth, with a tablespoonful
of powdered Sugar, spread over top evenly, and return to oven
until slightly browned.
PUMIPIKIN PIE.
Take one quart of pumpkin, stewed and pressed through 9
Sieve ; two quarts of milk; two cupfuls of sugar; seven eggs, beaten
Very light ; a teaspoonful of butter; ginger and cinnamon to suit
the taste; stir well together and bake with plain crust.
SALAID DIRESSING.
Four eggs, One teaspoonful of mixed mustard, one-quarter tea-
Spoonful of white pepper, half that quantity of cayenne, salt to
taste, four tablespoonfuls of cream, vinegar.
Boil the eggs until hard, which will be in about fifteen or
twenty minutes; put them into cold water, take off the shells
and pound the yelks in a mortar to a smooth paste. Then add all
the other ingredients, except the vinegar, and stir them well until
the Whole are thoroughly mixed together. Now pour in enough
vinegar, a little at a time, to make the salad about as thick as

A minute later Bostwick said: “Gordon, I think I
know that man. That should be our old acquaint-
ance, Sam Fisher, who left here for Australia, some
Seven or eight years ago to seek his fortune, and he
looks as though he had found it.” <-
“Yes, that's Fisher, right enough,” responded Gor-
don, “and he's better dressed and broader across the
shoulders than he was when he went away.”
The horse was halted, and Gordon hailed the pedes-
trian with a cheery “Halloo, Sam! I’m glad to see
you back;” and the hail was returned with an equally
hearty, “Same to you, old fellow ! I’m glad to be
back, and I hope all friends are well.”
So saying, he put one foot on the wheel, and gave
Gordon a warm grasp of the hand. Then gazing at
Bostwick, who had not yet spoken, Fisher asked,
with a degree of hesitation, “And can this be John
Bostwick? It is; and yet how altered Why, John,
if I had not met you within a mile of your own door-
sill, I shouldn’t have known you.” ©
Bostwick rather reluctantly admitted his own iden-
tity, and then, with Gordon's help, told Fisher how
he came to be in So Sad a plight. w
Fisher heard the story through without a word,
and then remarked: “Bostwick, it’s a sorry business;
but I know what will cure you. The year after I ar-
rived in Australia I went through exactly such an
illness and never expected to see Old England again.
Every symptom you have described I had. I was then
working in Melbourne. In about six months after
the first attack I gave up doing anything, and in six
months more I made up my mind that I should find
a grave where I had come to find a fortune. The
doctors told me I had a profound seizure of indiges-
tion and dyspepsia, complicated with liver and kid-
ney trouble. They did what they could, but they
didn't go to the bottom of it. When I was about as

bad off as I could be, an old acquaintance from
London happened to call, and smiled when I
prophesied my own funeral. Thinking I was not a
proper object of ridicule I resented his levity, and
he said: “Fisher, where have you been all your life
not to know that the successful remedy for the
disease you suffer from is Shaker Extract of Roots,
or Seigel’s Syrup?' I said I had heard of it a hundred
times, but had no faith in it. ‘That's because you
haven’t used it,” says he. Then he went on to tell
me what he knew about it in similar cases, and
ended up in these words: “Try it, or let it alone,
just as you like, Sam. If you try it, you'll see
England again; if you let it alone, you'll be buried
in Australia. I did try it, and the result is I am here
telling you to do the same thing.”
When Fisher ceased speaking, Bostwick thanked
him, and on the return drive bought a bottle of the
Syrup and took it home with him. 4 *
From that day the fight between John and his
enemy began afresh. For some weeks the issue was
still doubtful. His wife helped and encouraged him
at every step. The first sign of the coming victory
was that he began to sleep better. Then the cough
became quieter and he raised less. Then he was able
to take and digest tender beef and other nutritious
food. An increase of strength followed, of course.
Now and then there was a slight relapse, but, on the
whole, the process of improvement went on.
Susan's heart ran over with gladness when John
came to the table for the first time in several weeks,
ate with something like an appetite, and finished
with kissing the children and herself.
When he had gone to his room for a short map, she
gathered the little ones around her and said in tones
full of pleasure: “My darlings, we'll keep papa yet.”
And “keep papa" they did, for in four months

ºn-
from that day John Bostwick was back to business,
blessing the day that Sam Fisher returned from Aus-
tralia and almost compelled him to use Shaker Extract
of Roots.
The above is the history of an actual occurrence,
and with changes of names and circumstances it is
a type of multitudes of similar cases in every town
and city all over the world. Bostwick's misfortune
consisted in having so long neglected the remedy.
Yet we must pard n him, for he used it as soon as he
believed in it. Knowing his story, you, dear reader—
if you experience the symptoms of this disease—need
not wait. Indigestion and dyspepsia, the scourge of
civilization, must be checked at once. What one
bottle of Shaker Extract will do in the early stages,
it will take half a dozen to do when the trouble af-
fects the liver, and five times as many when the blood
is thoroughly poisoned and every organ of the body
has been attacked.
Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Syrup, is for
sale by all druggists and dealers in medicine, and by
A. J. White, 168 Duane Street, New York.
THE BROKEN MAINSPRING.
On New Year's Day, 1883, I weighed 185 pounds.
My veins were full of good blood. My head was
clear; muscles strong; nerves steady. It was easy to
work; it was sweet to sleep. Life was a pleasure,
as God intends it to be to every man. Between four
and five years later I was a poor, emaciated, broken
wretch, unsightly and useless to my friends, and a
burden to myself. All this happened through my ig-
morance. If you print this letter please print it just
as I write it, for nobody else can give as good an idea
of the history of that terrible time as I can myself.
I shall tell the simple truth and that is all. It was
about the first of February, 1883, that I began to feel,

~my-ºr-mºr-ºr-my-vºz wr
constipation.
A prevailing complaint, and one that causes a vast
deal of suffering. The cause is a torpid liver. The
liver is the largest gland in the body, secreting the
bile, the natural physic, and when this gland becomes
torpid and inactive, the bowels become sluggish and
constipated. The effects of constipation upon the
system are serious. When the collected faecal matter
gollects in the lower part of the bowels, it produces
an unnatural pressure upon the blood-vessels of the
parts, causing that painful malady known as piles; but
as a rule, when this matter is removed, the piles dis-
appear. This collection of faecal matter, however,
causes several other serious troubles. This foul mat-
ter becomes re-absorbed into the system, poisoning
the blood, and when the poison reaches the brain,
there is congestion which may vary from simple
headache to the most violent brain disease. The im-
pure blood, while circulating through the lungs, causes
the breathing to be labored, without affording relief
as usual, and the breath becomes disagreeable, leav-
ing a nasty taste in the mouth, Too close attention
cannot be paid to the regularity of the evacuations
from the bowels. & *

as we say, out of sorts. If you had asked me what
the matter was I couldn't have told you. I had a
sense of heaviness and dullness; lacked the usual am-
bition to work; went around in a moping fashion, and
acted generally like a person who has walked into a
bank of fog. I had rambling feelings of uneasiness in
the chest, sides and lower part of the back, as though
something had gone wrong, without being able to lo-
cate the trouble exactly. My appetite became poor,
the urine scanty and of a dark color. Not knowing
what to make of all this, I said to myself, I must have
caught a little cold; it will soon wear off. But I was
wrong; it did not wear off. Whatever ailed me was
too deep for physic and other home remedies, and in
less than two months I was taken down with dropsy,
After suffering almost the agonies of death from
this for four months, I was to a certain degree re-
lieved, and thought I should soon be well again. But.
I made another wrong guess, all through ignorance.
My appetite now left me entirely. The lightest food
would lie upon my stomach like lead. There seemed
to be no power or motion there. I was like a watch
with the mainspring broken. There came what I may
call a perfect flock of bad signs and feelings—foul
taste in the mouth ; risings of nauseous gas into the
throat; sometimes a sour and choking kind of saliva
or mucus; yellow skin; cold hands and feet; coated
tongue, and now and then spells of dizziness that
obliged me either to steady myself or to sit down
wherever I happened to be. *
I had never been bothered with any heart trouble
in my life, yet I was taken with it now. I would
have the palpitation so badly that I got frightened.
We couldn’t imagine what caused it, and I was se-
cretly anxious lest it might carry me off suddenly.
This thought, with my growing feebleness, made
me so nervous I began to suffer from loss of sleep.

SOME FOLKS CAN’T SLEEP NIGHTS.
They find a sort of irritableness that they cannot
explain. They don’t feel really ill, neither do they
feel well. The want of rest, makes them feel tired
and feeble, weak and languid. To obviate the diffi-
culty we must look for its cause. The trouble is in the
stomach, for as the food is not digested it soon fer-
ments and decays. The result of this decomposition
is the formation of an acrid, poisonous matter, which
is taken into the circulation. In this way the poison
is carried to every part of the system. The brain
being thus supplied with poisonous blood, becomes
irritated, and sleeplessness is the result. The taking
of narcotics does not remedy the evil. Sleep may be
forced by narcotics, but only for a time, and sleep
forced in this way gives no rest to the feeble system.
The cause must be removed. The formation of the
poison resulting from the decomposition of the food
in the stomach must be stopped. This is accomplish-
ed by taking small doses of Shaker Extract instantly
after eating, so that the medicine becomes mixed with
the food in the stomach. The effect will be like magic,
giving relief almost at once. While giving quiet,
refreshing sleep, undisturbed by horrid dreams, it at
the same time braces up the feeble system, brings


back the natural appetite, and restores vigor to both
mind and body.

This reacted and made all the other troubles worse.
How weary and tired I got! If I should write a
thousand pages and possessed the power of descrip-
tion of a Dickens or a Hawthorne, I couldn't give you
a fair picture of what I went through. Yet, as I
have said before, it was all through ignorance. Oh!
what a fountain of suffering is ignorance! Do what
you can to teach the people. &
I was in this condition for nearly five years. What
a living death ! It was as though a high blank wall
had been built between the world and me, shutting
out all its beauty, light and enjoyment. The dead
in their graves are at rest, while I was compelled to
walk always in the Valley of the Shadow, living, but
not alive.
Yet I didn't give up without/making a fight. Every
remedy I ever heard of I tried. I talked or corre-
sponded with everybody I could reach who had suf-
fered, or was then suffering, from any disease that
acted like mine. I let nothing go by. I regarded
nothing as unimportant that held out the slightest
hope of relief. But nearly all the remedies recom-
mended were such as I had already tried, or things
based more on superstition than on common Sense.
During the whole time since this strange attack
came on I had been annoyed by a cough. It was
just a slight, dry, hacking cough at first, caused, I
thought, by a temporary irritation of the throat. But
in the end I proved to be wrong again; it was one of
the results and symptoms of the disease—for I really
had only one ailment, though there appeared to be a
dozen. Let the reader remember this fact, for it is
of the utmost importance. It is on this point that
people need light and information. Many are treated
for lung complaints, and die of what their physi-
cians and friends believe to be consumption, who
might have been saved if this sad blunder were not

Different Kinds of Cooks.
We call special attention to the portraits of the
leading cooks given in this book. These men are at
the head of their profession, but only in certain lines
of cookery. Their object is to please the jaded palates
of wealthy people, and to do this they make dishes
which contain ingredients difficult to digest, and con-
sequently apt to produce indigestion and dyspepsia.
The cooking of the Shakers is free from this tendency.
These good people are very skillful beyond all others
in preparing dishes that are delicious to the taste,
easy to digest and very nutritious. For popular use
their recipes are much more valuable than those of
the French cooks. For the portraits, we are indebted
to the courtesy of the New York World.

dread and fatal scourge, as my cough grew worse and
WOTSé. ->
By this time my stomach was in such a state that
I threw up even sweet milk. The alternative was
now very simple—I must either get better at once
or die soon. But what chance was there in my favor?
You have read my story thus far and you see none;
the doctors saw none; I saw none. o
For all that I am a well man to-day. How I became so
is a wonder to me, and will be, until I solve the last
mystery that awaits all of us.
Briefly, the facts are these: I had grown so weak
I could no longer walk. I was merely able to totter
and stagger across the floor, only to sink exhausted
into a chair or upon the bed. While resting one
day after an effort of this kind (for who does not
hate to give up and admit that he is lost 7) a friend
came in whom we had not seen for a considerable
lime. He was surprised to see the state I was in, and
after my people had told him how fast I had failed
lately, he said: “Friend Alderson, you are in very
bad shape. I wish I had known of it several months
ago. Something might have been done then, but I’m
afraid it's too late now.” & g”
“Maybe not Maybe not l” I answered, grasping at
the straw he held out. “What could you have done
if you had seen me sooner ? You are no doctor.”
“I should have done this,” he replied: “Recom-
mended you to stop taking every other medicine and
try Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Syrup. Your
disease is not consumption: it is indigestion and dys-
pepsia, and nothing else in the world. All the differ-
ent troubles you have had, and have now, are symp-
toms of it. I have seen Shaker Extract of Roots
cure lots of just such cases, but none so bad. I’m
sorry to discourage you, but it wouldn't be right for

GRAVEL, STONE, AND OTHER URINARY
DIFFICULTIES.

When the body is in a healthy state the various
salts of the body are carried off by the water pas-
Sages; but when there is a weakness in the urinary
organs , these particles do not pass off, but lodge
in the bladder, kidneys and urethra, and keep grow-
ing in size by continued fresh adhesions until they
Sometimes form substances varying in size from that
of a bean or pea to that of an egg.
Persons with gravel frequently pass some portions
of it in their urine, but the main part of the sandy
substance remains, and gives rise to inflammation,
pain, heat and intense suffering in making water.
The accumulation of sand covers up the water-
passage, and the urine cannot find an outlet, and
the most intense misery follows. When the bladder
is full, it must be emptied; but frequently the grav-
elly substance so clogs up the mouth of the water-
passage that an instrument has to be used to push
back the gravel and let the water off.
Language fails to describe the agonies of persons
afflicted with stone and gravel.
Pain in the small of the back, hips and thighs;
heat and inflammation; desire to make water, but

me to say more than I know. The medicine won’t
hurt you, though ; and it may relieve you.” * =
To make my story short as possible, I will say that
we procured a bottle and I took a dose at once. I
used the whole of that bottle without feeling it had
done me a particle of good. This looked as though
Shaker Extract was no better than a hundred other
things that I had begun with hope and abandoned
in despair; but I set out to tell the truth and you
want nothing but the truth. I kept along with the
medicine for some weeks before I noticed any marked
signs of improvement. I began to sleep better, and
occasionally had a bit of an appetite. My stomach
felt less torpid and dead; there was a degree of
warmth in it, like a new fire kindled on a cold hearth,
and there was not near so much oppression after
eating. 4- &
Then came more frequent movements of the bow-
els, and I was always easier after them, especially as
they gave me no pain, and my head felt more as it
did in the times before I knew anything about the
tormenting thoughts and nightmare-haunted dreams
of the poor dyspeptic. Still later, when I had got
strong enough to go out, I spent a day with a neigh-
bor and ate a hearty dinner at his house. I was
pretty sharp set and didn't think of the risk I might
be running. But the moment my appetite was Satis-
fied I was scared at what I had done. I thought of
the hell of torture I had undergone from taking noth-
ing but milk, and was fearful that this amount of Solid
food would kill me outright. It was the first meal. I
had eaten for weary months of weakness and starva-
tion in a land of plenty. Hours passed and I felt no
inconvenience, but only comfort, warmth and strength.
Can I be myself? I asked.
I was myself, my old self, and Shaker Extract had
wrought the change. I stuck to the medicine a

cannot do so; and burning, smarting, indescribable

Sometimes the particles of gravel are so sharp and
cutting that they tear the sides of the urinary pas-
Sages, and then blood will come in quantities from
them. Sometimes the bladder and kidneys are filled
with slime and cannot perform their duty. The
water should always be kept free and open. When
there is the least disposition to an accumulation of
gravel it should be immediately dissolved and made
to pass off by its proper channel. Shaker Extract of
Roots cleanses the kidneys and bladder and water
passages from Slime, and gives strength to the or-
gans requiring sufficient power of endurance to per-
form all the labors required of them in carrying off
the watery portions of the food, after all the nourish-
ment it contained has entered into the blood and
gone to repair the daily waste of the system.

great benefit which he has derived from this justly
celebrated “medicine.”

while longer, however, but now that I am all right
once more I pen these lines to say so with warmer
gratitude than I ever felt before for any blessing.
What I was ignorant of is this: that nine-tenths
of the complaints and diseases from which most of
us suffer actually spring from indigestion and dys-
pepsia. Cure that and you cure kidney trouble, liver
complaint, heart palpitation, and the other ailments
that people don’t understand, nor doctors either.
And from my experience I am convinced that Shaker
Extract of Roots will do it.

To Starve Out Starvation.
“Madame, you must starve out the disease.”
I had been sick for a number of years. During
that time I had been treated by a number of the
best physicians in our part of the country, but they
did not agree as to what ailed me. Some said one
thing and some another. They gave me many dif-
ferent kinds of medicines— one to give me an
appetite, another to give me strength, another to
make me sleep, etc. I will not say none of them
did me any good, for that wouldn't be true; but I
can say that the effect was no more than temporary;
in a few days at the utmost it passed away, and I
was as bad or worse than before. Finally, one doctor
said I had chronic dyspepsia and liver complaint,
and I must starve it out. The advice seemed un-
necessary, as I was hardly eating enough to keep a
bird alive, and hadn’t been for a long while. Still,
if I could have eaten less, I think I did so for weeks
afterwards. But the only result, as might have
been expected, was to make me thinner and weaker,
until I was reduced to a mere skeleton.
What little I did eat did not digest at all, and both

An Immense Amount of Good.
MRs. GREEN, Stoke Ferry, says: “She has used
Shaker Extract of Roots for many years for liver
complaint, and it has done her an immense amount of
good.” H. TINGAY says: “There is no medicine
equal to it for constipation and kidney complaint.”
The above are vouched for by Mr. H. W. NEwsAM,

Several Physicians and One Friend.
Mrs. H. G. WILKINs, 82 Hubert's Grove, Lasedor
Road, Stockwell, S. W., writes: “Having suffered
greatly for the last five years with dyspepsia, and re-
ceiving no benefit from the medical men (I was
treated by several), I was advised by a friend to try
Shaker Extract of Roots. After taking the contents
of one bottle I felt much better, and now (after taking
two more) I am quite a different person. You are
at liberty to make what use you like of this letter.”

my stomach and liver were completely torpid.
Being in this condition, and without reasonable hope
of recovery, I began taking Shaker Extract of Roots,
or Seigel's Syrup, in July, 1887, and now, thanks to
the blessed Lord, I am improving fast. The extract
has done me more good than all the medical treat-
ment I ever had. I can now perform all my house-
hold duties and eat three hearty meals a day, and
digest them. This is better than trying to cure dys-
pepsia by starving myself to death. Don't you think
so 2 I would like to tell all poor sufferers what
Shaker Extract of Roots is sure to do for them if they
will only use it.

Twenty-five Miles on Horseback.
“I have to pack the medicine on horseback and so
carry it twenty-five miles. This takes me two days,
going and coming. Every bottle I sell has to come
over this hard road, as we are so far from any rail-
road station. Yet Shaker Extract is one of the few
things that are worthy the trouble and labor, I
have such faith in it that I don’t hesitate to guarantee
a cure in the cases of dyspepsia and liver complaint.
. My wife had suffered the torments of dyspepsia for
years. The Shaker Extract soon relieved her so she
could eat simple food without feeling any distress,
and five or six bottles cured her. She can now eat
anything the appetite craves, and has grown very
stout. Before she began taking it she could not
swallow a glass of milk without experiencing great
misery.
The wife of a neighbor, John H. Deal, had for
years what was supposed to be heart disease. She
had spells when it looked as though she could not live
but a few minutes longer, and they would some”

times last for a whole day. I got to thinking the
matter over and made up my mind that what she
suffered from was not heart disease at all, but some
trouble of the stomach and digestion. I told Mr.
Deal what my opinion was, and he bought a bottle of
Shaker Extract. She took it and began to feel better,
and by the time she had used the three bottles she
was well. I was right in my idea, for her husband
told me that the medicine had brought away a large
quantity of pin worms from her; and I am sure, from
what I have heard and seen, that many cases of so-
called heart complaint and consumption are merely
cases of dyspepsia and troubles of the bowels, liver
and kidneys. Mr. Deal said the medicine had also
cured one of his children of rheumatism.

What He Found in the Road.

One pleasant day last fall I was riding along the
road, when I happened to notice a little book lying
near the wheel track. I. got out of my wagon and
picked it up. It proved to be a Shaker Almanac, with
the story of those good people and some of their re-
cipes. I took it home, read it through, and was much
interested. But as I was then in pretty good health,
I did not, of course, buy any of the medicine described
in its pages. Not long afterwards I was taken sick
with what the doctor called bilious fever. I could
not openly dispute his opinion, yet I somehow felt he
was wrong. I had a soreness at the pit of the stom-
ach, and that “all gone” sensation which those who
have felt it will easily recognize. &
At all events the doctor's treatment was not bene-
ficial; he did not seem to get at my complaint. By
this time I was satisfied that my real trouble was
in the digestion, and that it had been coming up-
on me gradually for a long time. Then I remem-
bered the book I had found in the road. Once more
I read the part of it that especially spoke of in-
digestion and dyspepsia. Acting upon the impulse
thus given me, I procured a bottle of Shaker Extract
of Roots, and began its use. Only a short time has
elapsed since then, but I feel so much better that I
could not refrain from writing and letting you know
it. I heartily recommend the Extract for indigestion
v=
and dyspepsia ; it goes to the spot. In the light of
these facts I am thankful for the happy accident of
finding that little book in the road.

They Soon Stopped Laughing.
One of my neighbors, Mr. William Leach, a man
about 72 years old, was very low with a derangement
of the stomach. The doctors said he had taken so
much strong medicine that the coatings of the stomach
were partly destroyed, and it was impossible for him
to get well. For seven or eight months he was bed-
fast, and ate just enough to keep him alive. The best
physician in our parts now called and said it was no
use doing anything—Mr. Leach must die. At this
time somebody spoke of the Shaker Extract of Roots,
and said it was a great thing for stomach troubles,
and it might help this poor old man. I will only say
the medicine was bought and given to him. Some
people laughed when they heard of it, and said what
a foºlish idea to think a mere syrup like Shaker Ex-
tract could do any good after the doctors who knew
all about the science of curing disease had said it was
no use to try. But before he had taken one bottle he
began to have an appetite, and in a few weeks he
was able to walk and ride about ; and with the ex-
ception of stiff limbs, caused by age and a rheumatic
affection, he is perfectly well. Only a few days ago he
was at my house, and when I asked him what he

The Same Old Words.

I don't know whether you will want to print what
I have to say or not. But all the same it is no more
than right I should let you know what your medicine
has done for me. If it sounds just like what you
have heard so often before, please remember that
every new case of cure is apt to call forth the
same old words of gratitude. Only a short time #.

said I had malarial fever, but his medicine did me no
good. Then I began taking Shaker Extract of Roots,
and in about two months I was entirely well and had
got quite stout once more. If you wonder how this
could be, I will say that I did not have malaria at all,
but the difficulty was with my stomach and liver. I
think that in nine cases out of ten when people doc-
tor themselves for malaria, and take quinine, they
would get well much sooner if they would call it in-
digestion and dyspepsia and drive it away with
Shaker Extract. º

DIRECTIONS
For Using Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel’s
* * Curative Syrup.

DOSE: FIFTEEN TO THIRTY Drops, two or three
times per day, in a wineglassful of water, immediately
after eating.
The quantity, may be regulated by the patient,
who will bear in mind that sufficient needs to be
taken to operate on the bowels two or three times
each day. The blood will thus be purified, the sweat
glands of the skin will be opened, and the flesh made
soft and healthy as an infant's. The kidneys and
liver will do their duty, and all humors of the blood
will be driven out of the system, and the body puri-
fied and restored to a sound and healthy condition.
The medicine must be taken instantly after eating,
so that it will become mixed with the food while in
the stomach.
Commence by taking ten or fifteen drops three
times a day instantly after eating, in a little cold,
sweetened water. It is best not to take the Syrup
on an empty stomach. If this does not give relief,
increase the dose to thirty drops, always, to be taken
instantly after eating, so that the Syrup may become
mixed with the food while being digested. It is
essential that the bowels be made to move freely
every day, and if the above doses of Syrup be not
sufficient to effect this, take one to four of Shaker
Family Pills at bedtime. It is better to take
the Pills than to increase the dose of Syrup.

Diseases of the Liver.
When the liver becomes disordered and diseased,
the person so afflicted is indeed miserable. He suffers
with dull pains in the sides, bad tastes in the mouth,
spots before the eyes, flashes of heat, irregularity of
the bowels, piles, coated tongue, disordered stomach,
heartburn, costiveness, and pain in the head. He
frequently has a dry cough, high-colored urine,
yellow skin, and dull, sleepy sensations, rendering
him unfit for business or for employment. The hands
and feet are cold ; circulation of the blood is sluggish;
the patient suffers with vertigo, ringing in the ears,
loss of appetite, nausea and sick headache, heart-
burn, dry, scurfy skin, etc.
The origin of this disease is dyspepsia. The
Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative Syrup,
will remove the cause and the liver will then
resume its natural functions, and good health will
be the result. The dose should be 10 to 20 drops
instantly after eating, three times a day. º
The Bowels.
The bowels in a healthy state carry off all useless
matter which can be carried off in solid form. Some-
times the main channel becomes choked up by slime
on the coating of the intestines, which gives rise to
constipation and irregularity of the bowels. If the
bile is not thrown out from the liver in sufficient .
Quantities the bowels become costive, and the mem-
branes of the bowels become weak and irritated.
When much irritation exists diarrhoea follows, be-
cause the bowels have not the strength to do what
is required of them. Inflammation follows. The
fundamental cause of this irregularity is indigestion.
The Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative
Syrup, will remove this indigestion and cause the
fresh, new blood to become pure and healthy.
47
Piles and Costiveness.
The soothing, balsamic, and healing properties of
Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative Syrup,
render it of the utmost value in curing hemorrhoids,
or piles. The movements from the bowels are made
free, regular and natural; all irritation is removed, in-
flammation is subdued, and the piles disappear as if by
magic under the influence of this agreeable regulator
and healer. Costiveness or diarrhoea cannot exist
when this regulator has done its work, for it promotes
exudation of sufficient bile and enough of the natural
fluid of the intestines to regulate the movements and
give tone to the bowels. Blind piles, bleeding piles,
itching piles, etc., disappear with the use of the Syrup,
and are cured as effectually when high up in the
bowels as when at the terminus of the intestines.
Sick Headache.
There are few persons who, at times, are not more
or less subject to sick headache. Moderate and occa-
sional use of the Syrup is a sure preventive, as thou-
sands who have tried it are willing to testify.
- Nervous Debility. * @ r >
This is caused by a long-continued state of im-
purity of the blood, which irritates the nerves. Sleep-
less nights, twitching of the muscles, trembling of the
limbs, poor appetite, easily disturbed by noise or ex-
citement, desire to avoid company, peculiar sensations
over the entire body, are among the difficulties which
attend this complaint. A dose of Shaker Extract of
Roots, or Seigel's Curative Syrup, at night, will, in a
short time, so cleanse the blood and soothe the
nerves, and restore strength to the body, as to make
life enjoyable and happy. Nervous debility vanishes
before the quieting, purifying, and healthful action of
Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative Syrup.

Rheumatism.
Never before has there existed a remedy as unfail-
ingly successful in rheumatic affections as Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative Syrup. It lubricates
the joints, promotes the secretions of the fluids neces-
sary to remove the stiffness of the muscles, removes
hardened deposits in the joints, greases the machinery
of nature, and makes it move easily. One or two
bottles of Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Cura-
tive Syrup, will do more than a hogshead of liniments,
for it carries out of the circulation the acrid humors in
the blood upon which rheumatism depends; removes
inflammation, Soreness and stiffness of the muscles.
A short trial will convince the most discouraged
that it is all that is claimed for it.
Female Diseases.
The Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative
Syrup, has given health and spirits to thousands of
females. The hollow cheek, the sunken eye, the sal-
low countenance, the dark circles underneath the
eyes, all are indicative of weakness of the female or-
gans of generation, and are speedily overcome by the
use of Shaker Extract of Roots, or Seigel's Curative
Syrup.
During pregnancy the Syrup can be taken with per-
fect safety in 10 to 15 drop doses instantly after eating.
If the bowels should be costive, an occasional dose of
Shaker Family Pills will give great relief. Care should
be used so as not to produce violent purging. e

Its use removes obstructions, brings the hue of
health to the countenance, and it should be used b
females suffering from the various diseases to whic
the sex is subject, such as lucorrhoea, or whites, falling
of the womb, bearing down sensations, etc. Two or
three bottles of the Shaker Extract of Roots, or Sei-
gel's Curative Syrup, will bring the blush to the cheek
and vivacity and elasticity to the system. Flagging
spirits are restored, and new life and vigor take the
place of the loss of energy, sickness and ãecay.
