Indigestion Is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
che good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse TO digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
Kodol, which tligests your food with
out the stomachSs aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains

 Pure Food.

Taking notice of little things is val uable faculty in life and many great discoveries have sprung from humble source indeed.
 "One day" says 3 lady of Norwich, \. Y. d sister of the county judge and surrogate of Chenango county, T no- ticed on a grocer's shelf the now fa- iniliar package of Grape Nuts I asked him to let me see it. read what it had to say for itself, paid the 15 cents re- quired by the merchant and became it's possessOr.
 At this time I had lost my desire for food having suffered so terribly froi:, indigestion and all of it's attendan, evils that no food agreed with me or attracted me. But from the time that I began to eat my first package If Crape-N Nuts I began to improve ear- ing it every morning and frequently at moons and nights.
 q very soon found my whole strength coming back to me with add ed force. I gained in flesh and also found I could eat what others did with relish without any i'll effects following. Tn short it has changed my life.
 "A few weeks since I visited niece in Pennsylvania whose stomach re- fused to care for any food put into it. Rice whole wheat bread and other :. foods had to be pumped out ten hours after eating. 1 suggested Grape Nuts and sine ate it and when the contents of her stomach were syphoned ou; out there Was no trace of Grape-Nuts to be found it had digested and been ! assimilated. She made great gains in , strength and flesh while I was there i and made the six mile ride to Scranton three times, something she had no' , been able to do for three months pre- vious."
