Marsh, well-known attorney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quantities of pepsin and other medicines but nothing helped me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improve­ ment at once and and after a few bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and conse­ quently is' the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble. Julia A.
