Persons who suffer from indigestion
cannot expect to live long, because
they cannot eat the food required to
nourish the body, and the products of
the undigested food they do eat pois
on the blood. 1t is important to cure
indigestion as soon as possible, and
the best method of doing this is to use
the preparation known as Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure. 1t digests what you eat
and restores all the digestive organs
to perfect health. w. H. Prideaux.
