The best treatment for indigestion ana
troubles of the stomach is TO rest the
stomach. 1t can be rested by starvation
or by the use of a good digestant which
will digest the food eaten, thus taking the
work off the stomach. AT the proper
temperature, single teaspoonful of Kodol
will wholly digest 5000 grains of food. 1t
relieves the present annoyance, puts the
stomach in shape to satisfactorily perform
its functions. Good for indigestion, sour
stomach, hatulence, palpitation of the
heart and dyspepsia. Kodol is made in
strict conformity with the National Pure
Food and Drug Law. Sold by V. A.Grant,
