Eat all the good food you like. Quit dieting. You don’t have to diet to cure dyspepsia. In fact you can not cure dyspepsia or indigestion that way, but rather you must add strength to the weak stomach by taking something that will digest the food which the stomach can not digest Kodol is the only thing known today that will do this, for Kodol is made of natural digestive juices found in a healthy stomach, and it digests all food completely. Kodol is pleasant to take, and is guaranteed to give relief in any ease of stomach trouble. Sold by all druggists.
