Cover Crops
Cover or catch crops am those seeded
between the ordinary crops, either for
tlm protection oi the laud from loss by
elusion or to be used as green manure,
oftentimes botli of these objects are
combined. t lie use of cover crops
saould be systematic. A rotation
should be established and cover.crops
seeded at different intervals so that the
mud will be properly protected. If
ihe use of cover crops is not systematic,

In a test tube, under proper con
ditions, one oan see Kodol digest.
Whatever the food, or the mix
ture of foods, it is all completely
digested.
It does just the same in the
stomach, but quicker.
Test any other digester in the
same way and some food remains
undigested.
Most digesters depend mainly on
pepsin, and pepsin digests albumen
only.
You eat more starch, fats and
phosphates than you do albumen.
And bowel digestion is just as im
portant as stomach digestion.
Common digesters have no effect
on that.
That is why the stomach fails to
get well when you give it half-way
help.
Jr old by GilTCu drug Company
There is always some food tut*
digested to irritate the stomach
lining.
Thus tlie inflammation is con
tinued. Tlie stomach has no chance
to recover. With Kodol it is dif
ferent.
There is instant relief and per
fect digestion, no matter what you
cat. .
The stomach recovers with sur
prising quickness, because there is
no irritation.
