receiving letters of praise from 483 citizens of this vicinity, believed to be anew record for the public indorsement of any previously known medicine in this section. The list of testimonials include nurses, public officials, ministers, one prominent author, police officials, business men arid women, as well as hundreds of people in all walks of life. Among the latest well-known Indianapolis citizens to publicly indorse Konjola is Officer Howard Bankert, a member of the local traffic force, living at 2G13 E. Seventeenth St., this city, who recently said: "Konjola has given me permanent relief from the stomach trouble I was suffering over four years. This medicine has completely ended the cramps and nausea spells that used k to come over me after meals. I " would always have a heavy, full feeling, like a solid rock in my stomach, but this has been conquered now and my digestion is perfect, since I have taken Konjola. I can sleep better at night, instead of lying awake for hours like I did before. The pain and griping in the pit of my stomach is relieved, and at last, my whole system is regulated, so that I never have to take a laxative, and am free of constipation which had me victimized over two years. ‘‘Konjola has given me new health in general, and improved my whole system. During the past four years I have taken medicine upon medicine, but never got permanent relief until I tried Konjola. I wish to indorse this new compound for the benefit of others who suffer." Konjola is different than any remedy ever known in this section. Where many ordinary medicines contain only seven or eight herbal ingredients which merely act as a laxative, this new Konjola contains twentytwo juices extracted from natural plants which invigorate the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy action. The effect of Konjola on the whole inner-system brings amazing relief in cases of suffering that had been going on for years. At the same time, many weak and rundown systems have been restored to anew state of health thru the use of this compound. Such a vast number of men and women in Indianapolis have told their experience with this new medical product, unW now Konjola has become the jjn r * highly indorsed medicine that Is Jknown in this vicinity. The Konjola Man is at Hook's Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook Store in Indianapolis, and by all druggists in the nearby towns throughout this section. —Advertisement.
