If people only knew what we know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, It would be used In nearly every household, as there are few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach or waterbraah, caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no no other aid from the stomach, will digest your food, certainly can't help but do you good. T. J.
