If people only knew what we know
about Hodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be
used In nearly every household, as there
are few people who do not suffer from a
feeling of fullness after eating, belching,
flatulence, sour stomach, or water brash,
caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A
preparation such as Hodol Dyspepsia
Cure, which, with no aid from the sto
mach, will digest your food, certainly
can't help but do you good. Grover's

tho origin of the snowdrop: After Adam
and Eve had been driven from the gar
den of Eden Eve was disconsolate. One
day as she sat silently grieving an an
gel appeared and sought means to com
fort her. She longed for the flowers,
but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth In a robe of
white.
As the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping, repentant wo
man he caught a snowflake, breathed
gently upon It and said:
"Take form, pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be a comfort to humanity
now and forever."
In a twinkling the snowdrop changed
into a beautiful flower, as white and
pure as the snow Itself, and when Eve
beheld the new horn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart, and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the augel departed, hut where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle of perfect snowdrops.
