A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is that
the whole trouble lies in the stomach.
The pains in the side around the region

trouble We suggest that you start with

depression after eating or whenever
your food seems to nauseate take Kodol.
1t will not be very long until all these
"heart pains" will disappear. Take ko-
dol now and until you know You are
right again. There isn't any doubt
about what 1t will do and you will find

you have used Kodol for few weeks.
1t Is sold here by all druggists.

When you think OF Indigestion think
of Kodol, for it is without doubt the
only preparation that completely digests
all classes of food. And that is what
you need when you have indigestion or
stomach trouble-something that will
act promptly but thoroughly; some
thing that will get right at the trouble
and do the very work itself for the
stomach by digesting the food that you
eat and that is Kodol. 1t is pleasant to
take. II 10 sold by all druggists.
