A great many people imagine they
have heart failure when the fact is
that the whole trouble lies in the
stomach. The pains in the side
around the region of the heart are
not necessarily heart trouble. We
suggest that you start with the stom-
ach and whenever you feel a depres-
sion after eating or whenever your
food seems to ~nauseate take Kodol,
1t will not be very long until all these
heart pains win disappear. Take
Kodol now and until you know you
are right again. There isn't any
doubt about what 1t will do and you
will find the the truth of this state
ment verified after you have used
Kodol for a few weeks. It is solo
