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

And. of course, Indigestion If neglected long enough, brings on serious diseases in Which Kodol cannot benefit you.. Some of these there is no help for at all. There are, in fact, very few ailments which cannot be traced directly to Impure blood. And impure blood is always due to a disordered stomach. Use Kodol and prevent Nervous Dyspepsia. Kodol will effectually assist Ns. ture to secure a complete restoration of good digestion. It does this by at once digesting all food In tlm stomach and keeping it throughout the system—the importance of maintaining good dig®*tion is at ok# realised.

We knew what Kodol would do before ever the first bottle was sold. If we did not know just what it will do, we would not guarantee it the way we do. It is easy for you to prove Kodol —the next (or the first) time you have an attack of Indigestion. And you will certainly Tie surprised at the results. It is perfectly harmless. •< '*■£ There can he no barm in trying something that may do you a great ddal of good—when it costa you nothing it it doesn’t Our Guarantee Oo to y*or fltuggtrt today and got • Solssy?± JsnKKtt*!?« Sity aay, that tt has not dono you aay return the bottle to the drpgyUt uS lets (Tea MppUM’to the laree botUe only U 4 to but otto in a family.
