No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed
by the use of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. 1t gives the stomach per-
feet rest by digesting what you
eat without the stomach's aid.
The food builds up the body, the
rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet
yourself when taking Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure. j. D. Erskine of Al
ienville, Mich, says: II suffered
Heartburn and Stomach troubles
for some time. My sister-in-iaw
has had the same trouble, and
was not able to eat for six weeks.
She lived entirely on warm water.
After taking two bottles Of kodol
Dyspepsia Cure she was entirely
cured. She now eats heartily and
is in good health. I am glad to
say Kodol gave me instant re-

the donations by the Council are
paid out of the city treasury and
some measly-mouthed tight-wad
may claim that because he pays
$500 a year taxes that he has con-

demned.

these expenses the Sistersville

ask the hearty cooperation and
support of every citizen of Sisters
vile in the venture they are about
to launch and they have an album
dance of argument on their side.
