Kodol is a pleasant, palatable,
LIQUID preparation. that helps the
stomach to do its work in a natural
way. Being a liquid, it starts d.
gestion at once.
Kodol supplies the same digestive
Juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. This is why it will stop
the pains of indigestion quickly.
Your stomach, being weakened,
probably. by over feeding or over
work, is unable to do its work
properly, and the natural result is
indigestion, sour stomach, gas, or
belching, which will soon result in
chronic dyspepsia unless the stom-
ach is given help.
Nervous indigestion or dyspep-
STA. It is not only annoying, but
dangerous. If let alone, the result
generally is gastritis, or oftentimes
that fatal neutrality-suspicious..
