On the: other hand aGate City representative, who visited Xauvoo Tuesday evening, has assurances from Sister Mary that' the schools will not close and this is certainly good news and all hope that such is the case.

But to get you to know how good it is as well as we know, we practically will purchase the lirst bottle for you. You wonder, perhaps, how we can afford to make such an offer—It is because we have abso lute confidence in the hone6ty and fairness of the public. We know there are thousands of persons who Buffer from indigestion and dyspepsia, who would be grateful to us for putting them Jn touch with Kodol. That is why. Furthermore, we know that after you have used Kodol your faith in the preparation will be equal to ours. This proposition we make is not altogether unselfish, but it is actuated by the knowledge that the use of Kodol by you will benefit you as well as ourselves. How could we afford to make such an offer to the public, and how could we afford to spend thousands of dollars to tell you about it unless we positively knew and were sure of the merits of Kodol? We couldn't—It would bankrupt us. But we know the merits of Kodol and we want you to know. Use Kodol as directed and it cannot fail to help you.
