IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
Catarrh Of the Stomach Is
Not a Disease.
But a Condition Resulting fro
INDIGESTION.

Recent experiments, by practical tests
and examination with the aid OF the A-Ray,
establish it as a fact that Catarrn OF the
Stomach is not a disease IN Itself, out Jhat
it is a condition resulting from repeated
attacks of indigestion. :,
The stomach and allmentary canal, OF dl-
FESTIVE tract, is lined or coated with
mucous membrane. Studdng the surface
of this mucous membrane are the gastric
glands. Here, also, are the terminal
branches of the pneumogastrlc nerves, ana
many branches from the sympathetic sys-
TEN. When the stomach IS oVerioaueu' OF
when food is taken into 1t that 1alIs TO 81

mucous membrane, exposing the nerves,
and causes the glands to secrete mucln, IN
stead of the natural juices OF digestion.
This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Inc
condition was never known to exist except
when preceded by, Indigestion In other
words, we cannot have what IS commonly
called Catarrh of the Stomach until we have
had Indigestion. Hence the manifest need
of perfect cure for Indigestion.
KODOL cures Indigestion and prevents
and cures Catarrh of the Stomach. 10 those
persons who have allowed their indigestion
to run into chronic Dyspepsia and then INTO
that condition known as Catarrh OF the
Stomach, we say take KODOlI at once,
Kodol supplies the gastric glands with a
healthy quantity of the digestive Juices,
thus relieving the stomach OF all nervous
