Why and How
Kodol Will Help You

Kodol helps your stomach do It's
work, because it Is a perfect diges'
ter.
Kodol supplies the same diges-
tive juices that are found in a
healthy, vigorous stomach.
It is the only preparation that
will digest all the food you eat;
not a part Of 1t, but all OF 1t.
That is why Kodol helps you.
Kodol not only helps your stom-
ach, it upbuilds the entire system,
and wards of dangerous ailments,
because it enables you to get all
the nourishment and life-giving
qualities out of the food you eat
Giving you good, rich blood.
You must eat in order to live
and maintain strength. Don't diet
or starve yourself. Eat what you
want. Let Kodol digest 1t. This Is
how Kodol helps you. 1t digests
all your food and does 1t complete
ly.
Perfectly harmless.
You only take Kodol when you
need 1t. You don't have to depend
