Heavy eating is usually the
first cause of indigestion. Re-
peated attacks inflame the mucous
membranes lining the stomach,
exposes the nerves of the stomach,
producing swelling after eating,
heartburn. headache, sour risings
and finally catarrh of the stomach.
Kodol relieves the inflammation,
protects the nerves and cures the
catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion,
dyspepsia, all stomach troubles
by cleansing and sweetening the
glands of the stomach.
