Our Guarantee

Go to your druggist today, and
purchase a dollar bottle, and if you
can honestly say, that you did not
receive any benefits from it, after
using the entire bottle, the drug
gist will refund your money to you
without question or delay.
We will pay the druggist the price
of the bottle purchased by you.
This offer applies to the large
bottle only and to but one in a
family.
We could not afford to make such
an offer, unless we positively knew
what Kodol will do for you.
1t would bankrupt us.
The dollar bottle contains ~ times
as much as the fifty cent bottle.
Kodol is made at the laboratories
of E. G. Dewitt & Co., Chicago.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not Diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suttic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

There stood one of the very Oldest vet

THEY WILL MARCH.
To-day the veterans want to march

will find them in line on crutches, with
wooden legs hopping along and hob

stop them. 1t is the most sacred
