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
lenville, Mich, says: I suffered
Heartburn and Stomach troubles
for some time. My sister-in-law
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. l am glad to
