Cured After Suffering 10 Years
B F Hare superintendent of the
Miami Cycle Manufacturing Co Mid
dleton O suffered for 10 years with
dyspepsia He spent hundreds of dol
lars for medicine and with doctors with
out receiving any permanent benefit
He says One right while feeling ex
ceptionally bad I was about to throw
down the evening paper when I saw an
item in the paper regarding the merits
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure I concluded
to try it and while I had no faith in it I
felt better after the second dose After
using two bottles I am stronger and
better than I have been in years and I
recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to
my friends and acquaintances suffering
from stomach trouble Sold by L W

Climatic Cures
The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn The poor patient too can
do much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion and a regular
use of German Syrup Free expectora
tion in the morning is made certain by
German Syrup so is a good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and debilitating night cough
sweat Restless nights and the exhaus
tion due to coughing the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive can
be prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup liberally and regularly
Should you be able to go to a warmer
climeyou will find that of the thousands
of consumptives the few who are bene
fited and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup Trial bottles 25c
