esty and fair play are at a dis-
count. The county committee-
men represent their constituen-
cies, or at least should. Let that
constituency be consulted before
action be taken on this important

people be respected the candidates

with dyspepsia, belching and sour
stomach,” writes M S. Mead, lead-
ing pharmacist of Attleboro, Mass.
“I could eat hardly anything with-
out suffering several hours Myl
clerk suggested t try Kodol Dyspep-'
sia Cure which I did with most
happy results. I have had no more
trouble and when one can go to eat-
ing mince pie, cheese, candy and
nuts after such a time, their diges-
tion must be pretty good. I endorse ^
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure heartily.”

load the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia
