'‘Five years ago a disease the
doctors called dyspepsia took
such hold of me that I could
scarcely go,” writes Geo. S.
Marsh, well-known attorney of
Nocouu, Tex. “I took quantities
of pepsin and other medicines hut
nothing helped me. As a drow
ing man grabs at a straw I grab
bed Kodol. 1 felt an improve
ment at once and after a few bot
tles am sound and well.” Kodol
is the only preparation which ex
actly reproduces the natural dig
estive juices and consequently is
the only one which digests any
good food and cures any form of
stoym'b trouble, J. I, Sturdivant

In Japan it is always the rule of po
liteness to pay a trifle more than the
sum mentioned at your hotel. To set
