We guarantee the action Of KodoL Please note
the offer below.
We claim that Kodol does all that healthy
stomach do. That it digests any food at once
and completely.
need of the food that you want, and note how
Kodo acts. Note the absence of pain, of fermen-
tation of gas.
Don't doubt facts that mean a great deal to
you. when they are easily proved.
There are many ways to digest part OF the food,
but Kodol alone digests all of 1t.
Pepsin digests albumen. but not starch or fat
So the many digesters depending almost solely on
pepsin are only partial helps.
A complete digester must be liquid. for some
of the needed elements can't be given dry. They
must be preserved in glass.
That is why Kodol is liquid. like the digestive
juices. The result is, its action is instant. 1t
even begins in the mouth. by starting the flow OF
saliva.
The cure of Indigestion requires. above all, that
you relieve the stomach.
Tonics and stimuiants only spur it to action,
like whipping a tired horse. Weak organs
never gain strength by forcing.
But digestion is necessary, else the food grows
hard and irritates the stomach. lining. 1t fer
ments, and forms gas, and breeds germs. 1t de-
Gays and loads the blood with posons. And all
the food that fails to digest fails to nourish you.
Your digestive powers are bound to grow
weaker so long as those conditions continue.
