a Weak
Stomach

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
the 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 digests your food with.
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Detingunneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
which some people suffer after meals.
