were travelling in one of the hill

The hogs lay where they had
fallen, the thin claybank mule
grazed round and round in a

A sweet breadth adds TO the joys Of
a kiss. You wouldn't want TO kiss
your wife, mother or sweetheart with
a bad breath. You can't have a sweet
breath without a healthy stomach.
You can't have a healthy stomach
without perfect digestion. There is
only one remedy that digests what you
eat and makes the breath as sweet as
a rose-and that remedy is K0DoL
FOR DYSPEPSIA. II is a relief for
sour stomach, palpitation OF the heart,
and other ailments arising from
|disorcers of the stomach and digestion.
