Kiernan, who was expected not only
to finance the Xauvoo academies but!
the electric road from Xauvoo to Car

pers report the operations of Mr. Kier

been frequent and that the schools
will be compelled to close. On the:

such is the case. The United Press

to be hoped, as is promised, that Mr.

that all of his cherished plans will yet

the electric road. There might be
something wrong with the financial
preparation for such an enterprise

proposition as the country through

If you knew as well as wo do how good a prep
aration Kodol is for indigestion and dyspepsia, it
would be unnecessary for us to guarantee a single
bottle.
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.
