Thomas A. Edison, the great
American inventor, says "Fully
eighty per cent of the illness of
mankind comes from eating i'm
proper food or to much food; peo-
pie are inclined to Over-in -dulge
themselves. This is where indi-
gestion finds its beginning in nearly
every case. The stomach can do
just so much work and no more,
and when you overload it, OF when
you eat the wrong kind of food,
the digestive organs cannot posi-
bly, do the work demanded Of them.
1t is at such times that the
stomach needs help; il demands
help, and warns you by headaches,
belching, sour stomach, nausea and
Indigestion. You should attend to
this at once by taking something
that will actually do the work for
the stomach Kodol will do this.

digestants and vegetable acids and

a healthy stomach. 1t is pleasant
