Dieting Does Not
Cure Indigestion
Self Denial by Prescribed Rules
OF Health Used to be Con-
Sidered a Cure.

Starvation is a strange remedy for
any disease. Yet starvation by rigor-
Gus diet was once generally resorted
10 IN cases Of Indigestion and Dyspep-
STA. Even yet it is sometimes tried.
Such remedy is worse than useless.
Every day Of life consumes a portion
of the tissues OF the human body. The
food we eat serves to repair the waste
and you can't build up the system bv
withholding the material necessary for
these purposes. When YOU have Dvs-
pepsia or Indigestion, or any form Of
stomach trouble. take a little Kodol TO
help the stomach do it's work.
We say, take Kodol because il is
the only preparation that win digest
al the food you eat Every tablespoon
ful Of kodoI digests 2A pounds of
food. It supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy.
vigorous stomach. There are other
preparations that are partial digesters.
but what your stomach needs is com
plete rest Kodol Is the only prepare e.
ton that will give it. A man is so
constituted that he needs a variety of
mods; TO reduce the variety always
produces bad results. In 90 cases ont
of 100, Indigestion is due to lack of
some Of the elements which constitute
the natural digestive juices. Kodol
supplies just what is needed. Our
Guarantee: Get dollar bottle of Ko-
dol. If you are nots benefited - the
druggist viii at once return your
money. Don't hesitate: anv druggist
