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. Our Guarantee On the first dollar bottle of Kodql your druggist gives a signed guar* antee.
