Better Not Get
Dyspepsia
If you can help it Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by
effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion.
But don't trifle with Indigestion.
A preat many people who have
trifled with Indigestion, have been
enrry for 11 when nervous or
chronic dyspepsia resulted, and
they have not been able to cure It.
Vf Kodol and prevent having
riyrpepsla.
Kveryonn Is subject to Indiges
tion. Slonineh dernriKement follows
ptomach abupp. Just as naturally
mid Jm:t as surely an a sound m.d
healthy stomach results upoa tho
taking of Kodol.
Vhen you experience sourness
of stomach, belching of gas and
nauseating fluid, bloated sensation,
gnawing pain In the pit of the
stomach, heart burn (so-called),
dlnrrhoea, headaches, dullness or
chronic tired feeling you need Ko
dol. And then tho quicker you tak!
Kodol the better. Eat what you
ant, lot Kodol digest It.
Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tnh
Mb," physics, etc., are not likely
to bo of much benefit to you, in
digestive ailuien'.s. Pepsin Is only
a partial dlpcster and physics are
not dlnestcrs at all.
Kodol ia a perfect digester. If
you could see Kodol dlpesfingevery
pnrticle of food, of all klndH, In the
plnss test-tubes In our laboratories
you would know this Just as well
as we do.
Nature nnd Kodol will nlwnys
cure a sick Ptomach but In order
lo be cured, the stomach must rest.
That la what Kodol does rests the
stomach, while tho stomach pets
well. Just as simple as A, lt, C.
