keeps pouring into the Konjola files until they are filled almost to overflowing. Never a day passes, but that the Konjola Man, who is daily explaining all about this new medicine at Hook’s Dependable drug store. Illinois and Washington streets, this city, hears of at least one more remarkable accomplishment of this new medicine. Many people are skeptical about Konjola at first, but even the most skeptical almost invariably return after they have given this new medicine a fair trial to add their words of praise and commendation to its powers. Konjola is known as the medicine with more than a million friends and is making more and more every day. Those who were relieved from their suffering through this new medicine consider it a duty to tell others of their experience, so that the others, too, find relief. And so it goes. A chance to prove its merit is all that Konjola asks. Consider for a moment, the wonderful experience that Mr. Homer Argabright, Vernon Acres. Thirty-eighth street and Pendleton Pike, this city, had with Konjola. Mr. Argabright recently called on the Konjola Man and made the following statement: "I am thankful for the wonderful results that I was able to get through this new medicine, Konjola. My stomach and kidneys were all out of order. Suffering followed every meal. Gas would form, and my stomach bloated terribly. I always had a headache, and when I got up in the morning I was so sore and stiff all over that I did not want to go to work. I felt a little better later in the morning, but along about 2 o’clock in the afternoon I became tired and iistlcss. My health in general was on a decline, and I lost weight and strength. I am a painter and interior decorator, and my work was drudgery. I was very much discouraged over my poor condition. “Well, I have now taken twelve bottle of Konjola. and I feel fine. I feel like I never had an ache or a pain in my life. My stomach is in a first-class condition, for it never troubles nfe in the least. My food digests perfectly, and gas and bleatare things of the past. My kidneys have been restored to their normal, healthy condition, and I am never bothered by headaches. I get up in the morning rested arc! refreshed, ready for the day's work, and I really enjoy it. I don’t get tired before the day is half over, and am regaining my weight and strength. Konjola worked a wonderful change in my condition, and I hope that others will benefit from my happy experience.” Konjola is anew medicine, a different medicine. Its record of successes can not be matched by any other medicine. The Konjola Man is at Hook's Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets. Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this modern medicine Advertisement.
