Things We

Because we overeat OF them. Indi-
Eestion follows. But there's q way to
escape such consequences. A dose of a
good digestant like Kodol will relive you
ct once. Your stomach is simply too
weak to digest what you eat. That's all
indigestion is. Kodol digests the food
without the stomach's aid. Thus the
stomach rests while the body Is strength
ened by wholesome food. Dieting is un
necessary. Kodol digests any kind OF
