One would ever suspect from his ap-
pearance that Mr.. Ross. is nearly n
years of age. He is wonderfully active
and rarely misses a day from his Office.
Mr.. Ross is Mason and a member of
the First Presbyterian church. He was
a sufferer from dyspepsia until he heard
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. The follow
ing is his opinion of the remedy which
has done so much for him:
For several years, 1, Thomas l.
Ross, also my wife, Lydia L. Ross, both
of Topeka, Kan, suffered with that ter
rible malady known as dyspepsia or
indigestion.
I'VE commenced to use Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure on the recommendation of
our druggist. After taking one dose,
and inside of a short time, all of those
terrible pains and dyspepsia torments
had passed away. My appetite, also my
wife's, came back and our food could
be enjoyed as when we were II. 1 am
now turning n years of age.
II have not suffered one day with my
stomach since 1 commenced to use Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure, and 1 recommend
it to all of my fellow citizens to do you
good, and endorse Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure.

The minority report adds:
while approving in general the policy

petroleum refiners. The tax of onefourth
of sugar and petroleum refners in ex-

demur or protest and there is no reason
why the great combinations which monop-
