A Beal Friend. “1 suffered from dyppcpsla and Indi gestion for iifteen yearB,” says W. T. Hturdevaut of Merry Oaks, N. C, After I had tried many doctors and medicines to no ayail one of my friends persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave me immediate relief, I can eat almost any thing I want now and my digestion Is good, I cheerfully recommend Kodol.” Don't try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further weakens the system. You need wholesome, strength ening food. Kodol enables yon to as- aimulate what you eat by digesting it without the stomach's aid. W. A Item- bert.
