Tenth St., this city, made the following statement: “I can truthfully say that Konjola has been a big help in my life,” said Mrs. Wright. “I know of no medicine that has been praised as much as this medicine and after taking a few bottles of it I can see why so many Indianapolis people are giving their testimonials for it. “I know I can truthfully recommend this medicine as a real help to humanity. My trouble was mostly neuritis. That word certainly spells misery and any one who suffers with it will verify my statement. Terrible pains would shoot all over my body and cause me untold suffering, which was almost more than I could stand at times. “I tried remedy after remedy, but fcould not get relief from this awful suffering until I finally happened to get a bottle of Konjola. I had taken only a small amount when I noticed a difference in my condition. I continued and although the medicine worked very slow I was gradually getting better. This medicine continued to help me until now I am almost well. I give I'mjola credit for this, as it is the only medicine that has started me on the road to health, after all this suffering. I voluntarily recommend this medicine as the best medicine I have ever known. I am still using it and believe that after I have given it the trial It deserves that I will be fully restored to health. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducting and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola Is being sold by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.—-Advertisement.

McClintic said he is prompted bjr a belief that the six men who were alive in the torpedo room after the S-4 sank “would, if possible, chronicle their sensations, giving to the loved ones a farewell message before their lives ebbed away.” “As an addition to the knowledge now at the disposal of submarine experts, it seems to me that the condition of the dead men in the various compartments of the S-4; their position when life became extinct; the object or objects they held in their hands, and the register of various gauges and meters, would be extraordinarily valuable to those charged with submarine responsibility in the future,” McClintic wrote. Great Britain’s oldest industries are dyeing and mining.
