Each of the chief or¬
otwuOverMungs gans of the body is a
link in the Chain of
Life. A chain is no
stronger than its
weakest link, the body
no stronger than its
weakest organ. If there is weakness of stomach, liver or lungs, there is a
weak link in the chain of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called
“ weakness” is caused by lack of nutrition, the result of weakness disease
or
of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and
weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, When ihe weak or diseased stomach is
cured, diseases of other organs which seem remote from the stomach but which
have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition, are cured also.
The strong man has a strong stomach.
Take the above recommended “Discov¬
ery” and you may have a strong stom¬
ach and a strong body.

Surprising,
What Kodol Will Do
For you, when you need it. But the longer you neg¬
lect Indigestion, the more you will suffer before Kodol
can restore Good
And, of course, Indigestion if neg¬
lected long enough, brings on seri¬
ous diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some of these there
is no help for at all.
There are, in fact, very few ail¬
ments which cannot be traced di¬
rectly to Impure blood. And Im¬
pure blood is always due to a dis¬
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectually assist Na¬
ture to secure a complete ,’estora
tion of good digestion. It does
this by at once digesting all food
in the stomach and keeping it di¬
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume Its own work. Ko¬
dol removes the cause—and the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Apo¬
plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer—and
even Consumption—are due to
poor digestion and poisons thus
transmitted to the blood, and
throughout the system—the Impor¬
tance of maintaining good diges¬
tion la at once realized.
