Surprising, What Kodol Will Do
For you, when you need it. But the longer you neg. lect Indigestion the you will suffer before Kodol can restore Good Digestion.

And, of course, indigestion If neg lected long enough, brings on seri- ous diseases in which Kodol cannot benefit you. Some of these there is DO help for at all.
 There are, in fact, very few ail- ments which cannot be traced di- rectly to impure blood. And im- pure blood is always due to a dis ordered stomach.
 Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dyspepsia.
 Kodol will effectuaIly assist Ma ture to secure a complete restora- ton of good digestion. It does this by at once digesting all food in the stomach and keeping it di- gested. until the stomach is rested and can resume its own work. Ko- dol removes the cause-and the effect quickly removes itself.
 When it is recalled that Apo plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer-and even Consumption-are due to poor digestion and poisons thus transmitted to the blood, and throughout the system-the impor- tance of maintaining good diges- ton h at once realized.
