“I WAS HIGHLY NERVOUS BEFORE KONJOLA SCORED” Indianapolis Lady Relates Fine Experience With Master Medicine — All Else Failed. The history of Konjola's phenomenal rise to success reads like a story from Arabian Nights. Five and a half years ago. this master medicine was first introduced to the public in one town. It was compounded in small quantities—a gross at a time. Today Konjola is the most talked-of medicine in

| America. More than a million for- | mer sufferers are its life-long boost- | ers. More than twenty thousand ! bottles are consumed daily. KonI jola is shipped in carload lots i throughout twenty-two states. In I one city, three weeks after it was | first introduced, three carloads were ! sold. In one state a million bottles ! were sold in four months. More I than five hundred newspapers car- ! ry the glorious word of Konjola's | amazing powers; its merits and ac- ! complishments. There can be but | one reason for such astounding success and that reason is that Konjola makes good—that it does all that is claimed for it. A personal ; representative of Konjola is in In- ! dianapolis to tell all sufferers about | this super-remedy. He is the Kon- | jola Man and is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets. His is a mis - sion of helpfulness; his aim is to aid all sufferers to find the glorious road to health. Just how well he. is accomplishing this is shown in the statement that Mrs. Robert West, 1219 Wade street, Indianapolis, made a few days ago. To the Konjola Man Mrs. West told this story of the work of Konjola in her case: “I was in a highly nervous condition before Konjola scored another ! one of its marvelous victories. I did not believe —can hardly believe !it now—that one medicine could i work so quickly and thoroughly, as Konjola did in my case. These nervous spells came on me when I least ‘expected them and made me | weak as a kitten. From morning to night I felt sick and rundown. ! Knowing that I was in dire need or \ a good medicine and tonic I cast about frantically for the right medi- ■ cine. But it was denied me at first, for nothing I tried ever benefited me. Then I hard about Konjola, 1 and its wonderful merits, so I decided to give it a trial. ‘‘That was one of the wisest decisions I ever made for Konjola was what I should have had in the first place. It did not take this splendid medicine long to take hold. The first bottle showed me that I was on the right track and that health was just around the corner. Os course. I kept taking this medicine and in four weeks I completed the fourth bottle. In just that length of time all my woes left me. M’ nerves were soothed ar-d quie'-ed and I rapidly gained back my iost strength and energy. Today I can hardly believe that I was ever in distress. Konjola worked winders and I indorse it to all who suffer for it is. indeed, the master medicine.” It is not logical to believe that what Konjola has done for Mrs. West, as well as for thousands of others, it will do for you. and for everyone? Konjola merely asks the 'chance to make you well. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store. Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merit* of this maaster medicine.—Advertisement.
