ACTOR-MUSICIAN HAS HIGH PRAISE FOR NEW KONJOLA Vaudeville Performer Says New Medicine Banished Neuritis Which Disabled Him From Playing Musical Instrument. Only a medicine of outstanding merit, a medicine that makes good, could win such fame as has come to Konjola, the most talked of medicine in the nation today.

MR. EDDIE SHORE —Photo by National Studio. Illinois. Bldg. Konjola made good for Mr. Eddie Shore, whose residence is at 5226 East North street, Indianapolis, and who is well known throughout the United States as a musician and black-face comedian. Mr. Shore formerly was with Brown’s Saxophone Six, Apollo Concert Company and other concert and vaudeville organizations, and now is supporting Nicodemus Glynn in “Pick a Number.” Read what Mr. Shore told the Konjola Man about his experience with this new and different medicine. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is at the service ti all who wish to get the facts about this remarkable medicine for stomach, liver, kidney and bowel troubles; rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. Mr. Shore’s statement follows: “Konjola is a real ‘headliner’ among medicines. It is a medicine every one whose occupation causes him to travel from place to place and eat and sleep at irregular hours should carry with him. I have reason to be grateful to Konjola, for I do not believe I would be able to do my work today had it not been for this medicine. While playing in Chicago last fall I contracted the •flu,’ and it left me in a weakened condition. Neuritis developed in my shoulders and hands. Not only did this cause me much pain, but I finally had to lay off my act, as I could not finger my musical instruments. I tiled a number of treatments and medicines without get- | ting much relief. i “Coming to Indianapolis, I found that my mother had been taking Konjola ■ and getting wonderful results, so I | gave it a trial. To my amazement the i neuritic condition quickly began to im- . prove. I have taken eight bottles of j tbit medicine and now do not have a trace of neuritis. Not only that, but I | find that Konjola also is a wonderful ' honditioner. It is keeping me built up I and feeling fine. I am very glad I | found this medicine, as in the future ! I always will know what to do when | I feel the need of a tonic.” This is just another proof ... If added proof were necessary ... of the amazing merits of Konjola. And what it has done for oUiers it will do for 1 you . . . for every one. i * The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store. Illinois and Washlington street. Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this new different ertnf m s>t k
