Dewitt & Co., Chicago, ILL.,
Dear Sirs-I have suffered more
than twenty years from indiges
ton. About eighteen months
ago had grown so much worse
that I could not digest crust of
corn bread and could not retain
anything on my stomach. I lost
25 lbs; in fact 1 made up my
mind that 1 could not live but a
short time, when a friend of
mine recommended Kodol. I
consented to try it to please him
and was better in one day. /
now weigh more than I ever did
in my life and am in better health
than for many years. Kodol did
it. I keep a bottle constantly,
and write this hoping that hu-
manity may be benefited. Yours

The two children of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Reidel living down
near ST. Peter were burned to.
death last Saturday and the
mother was so badly burned
that she cannot live. It seems
that there were two houses on
the farm. The mother was in
one and the children in the other.
The fire was near the door and
prevented the escape of the chill
dren and when discovered by
the mother was so far along that
she suffered burns that will cause
her death in trying to rescue the
children. The little ones remain
ed in the house and were prac-
tically cremated. How it makes
ones heart bleed to think of those
poor little children losing their
lives in such horrible manner
And what awful agonies of mind
and body that poor mother must
be undergoing before death can
release her. And the father
should not be forgotten when so
deprived of his whole
family in such cruel manner.
What cruel fate there is for
some of us and sometimes it
would seem that the means for
prevention was beyond the
human mind to forsee.
