Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures dyspep
sia because its ingredients are such
that it can't help doing so. "The
public can rely upon it as a master
remedy for all disorders arising from
imperfect digestion." James M. Thom
as, M. D., in American Journal of
Health, N. Y. W. I. Benedict.
"I told her the fortune teller said I
would marry soon."
"How did she take that?"
'She said she would say a good word
for me to any girl I might pick out."
Chicago Record.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure thoroughly
digests food without aid from the stom
ach, and at the same time heals and
restores the diseased digestive organs.
It is the only remedy that does both of
these things and can be relied upon to
permanently cure dyspepsia.
W. I. Benedict.
"Our baby was sick for a mouth with

Although we tried many remedies she

dale, Texas. W. I. Benedict.
A commercial traveler on his trip
called upon a well-known chemist. He
was nervous as he put his hand in his
pocket and handed out a card.
"I represent that concern," said the
young man.
"You are fortunate,' replied the
chemist.
The commercial traveler was encour
aged and said:
"I think so, sir; and the chemist who
trades with us is even more so. My firm
Las the finest line of cosmetics in the
country."
"I shouldn't have thought it," slowly
responded the man of medicines. Her
complexion looks natural."
And he handed back the photograph
which the young man had given him by
mistike. He took It and left without
waiting to make any farewell remarks.

Tlioe who pass along the highways
anuot help noticing the dense growth
of sweet clover, a weed pest that has
pread to every nook and corner since
it was imported some years ago by a
few bee keeiers. This species of grass
or weed, it is said, is good for nothing
lse but feed for bees, and then only at
blooming time. It is very prolific and
hard to kill, hence it continues to
pread from year to year until it reigns
supreme on every strip of uncultivated
land. It even smothers out all other
ordinary weeds and is a pest that
liould always be prevented from going
to seed.
