Dyspepsia Cure
DigestS what you eat.


What is worth doing at all is worth
doing well. If you are going to use
something to help digest your food,
use a preparation that will digest COM
pletely everything you eat. A great
many people take pepsin in some form,
after eating; but pepsin simply aids
the digestion Of eggs, meats and other
albuminous foods and doesn't help
the digestion of fats and starchy foods,
d We usually eat more than meat,
cheese and eggs; in fact we have to eat
freely of grains, potatoes and other
starchy foods if we supply the variety
of nourishment necessary to maintain
the various tissues of the body. But
these are the things most people who
suffer from dyspepsia can't digest. And
so we would suggest that when you
take anything to help digestion, take
what will digest every kind OF food.
There is only one preparation known
that does this, and that is Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure. 1t contains all the di-
gestants and completely digests what
you eat. No other preparation does this.
