Relief Is Possible.
It is d )=sible to obtain relief from
chronic indigestion BDd dvepepsia by
the use of KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA
Some of the most hopeless cases of long
standing have yielded to it. It enables
you to digest the food you eat and exer
cises a corrective influence, building up
the < fll iiency of the digestive organs.
The stomach is the boiler wherein the
steam is made that keeps up your vi
tality, health and strength. Kodol di
gests what you eat. Makes the stom
ach sweet—puts the boiler in condition
to do the work nature demands of It —
gives you relief from digestive disorders
and puts you in shape to do your neet,
and feel your best. Bold by W. A.
