The other Way.

1t is evident that we can't live without
food and we can't maintain good health any
length OF time on half rations. When the
stomach is weary and refuses to work, we
must devise some plan besides starvation TO
give it rest. There is only one other way,
and that is to do the stomach's work for it.
can be taken Immediately after eating that
will aid the digestion of food. Some of
them help digest starchy foods, such as
bread and potatoes and cereals; others help
such as eggs and meat and cheese. Most
Of these preparations are good as far as they
go, but they do not go far enough. Nature
demands a generous and varied diet, and
EVERYTHING we eat must he thoroughly
digested Partial digestion may relieve for
time, but it cannot cure dyspepsia.

cOuIdn't Live without one.

The whole trouble lies in the stomach,
that's plain enough. But we can't afford TO
remove the stomach and we can't afford to
let it be destroyed by disease. 1t is the
most important organ of the body and we
couldn't live without it.
The stomach prepares the food for making
the blood that nourishes every organ and
tissue of the body. Without good, rich
blood the heart becomes weak, the lungs
break down, the liver becomes choked and
the kidneys are strained beyond endurance.
There is no disease, except the consequence
of injury, that is not directly caused or
aggravated by disorders of the stomach.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-02-19

How II was accomplished.

BY intricate experiments and laboratory
work it was found possible to combine, in
exact proportions, all the digestants natural
" used in the digestion of the various
classes of foods and to unite with them the
organic substances required to build up the
exhausted tissues.
These Investigations were especially con-
Quoted for the purpose of devising prep
aration which by its presence in the stomach
and alimentary tract, would completely re-
lieve the digestive organs from work by di-
costing whatever class of foods might be
eaten.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-02-19
The commOn Sense MethOd.

To absolutely cure dyspepsia and restore
the digestive organs to health, we must
give the stomach complete rest and give the
body a pienteous variety of good nourish-
ment and ar the same time supply recon-
structive materials to be used in repairing
the worn out structures.
To devise a method OF accomplishing
these things has beer perplexing problem,
and its solution marks new era in the
treatment of dyspepsia

RccOPd Seems Remarkable.

The result has been more than it at first
seemed possible to accomplish. The prepar-
alton formed on these principles, known as
KOd0I Dyspepsia Cure, has been used by
many thousands of dyspeptics, and in every
case it afforded almost instant relief, and
its continued use never failed to bring about
complete recovery, even in the worst cases
after everything else had failed. This
record seems remarkable; but it is only
a natural result of the composition and
