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

You need q 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 IL
it Is weak.
You must eat I'm order TO live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufIic-
tent amount OF food regularly.
But this food must DO dlgested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do Il,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is TO eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach IS weak IL needs help;
you must help It by giving 1t rest,
and Kodol will do that.
