BY digesting the food without aid and
preparing it perfectly for natures uses in
nourishing the body. it gives the digestive
organs rest. BY relieving them of all
work, nature has an opportunity to restore
them to healthy condition.
Furthermore, you should eat all the good
food your appetite calls for while taking
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, because your body
must have nourishment and in no way can
it get it except through the food.
While the army Of people Is large who sui.

still greater army of those who are troubled

Of these juices. With the body fatigued
and continually in action, the blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur-
ally this leaves lot of undigested food in
the stomach that Is not only useless but
harmful. Now what is to be done?
1t must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest,
as it draws on the digestive juices unnatur-
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way Of treating these
cases Is to furnish q substitute, which must,
in order to be effectual, contain exactly the
same elements in exactly the same proper
tions as the natural digestive fluids.
The one preparation which can be abso-
lutely proven to meet these requirements Is

ment at your expense but the result Of ex-
periments at our expense. 1t is not mere
stmulant to aid digestion, but is itself q
combination of all the digestants and actu-
ally digests the food by its own individual

tions, temperature, etc, so 1t certainly

The National Disease.

II there is any disease entitled to such a

safe to say that not one person In ten enjoys

though 1t may seem Why Is thisp
Digestion ia a slow process by which
nature transforms the food into a state
suitable for nourishment for the body. The
time required varies from one. to six hours
or more, according to the food. In the
