The Stomach is t Q Man,

weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot di-
gest enough food to feed the tissues and
revive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cleanses, purifies, sweetens and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach, and cures Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. w.
