ENJOYS HEALTH AT 72; GIVES KONJOLA CREDIT New and Different Medicine Is Strongly Praised After Ending Ten Years of 111 Health. Konjola, the medicine that has been quick to win fame and friends whenever put to test, appears at the very peak of its amazing powers when pitted against the stubborn ills of the aged that have hung on year after year.

MR. AUGUSTUS KING —Photo by National Studio.

What, indeed, could be wiser than to profit by the experiences of others? Consider the case of Mr. Augustus King, 443 Arbor avenue, Indianapolis, as a typical example of Konjola in action. Think how happy he must be to have again found health at the age of 72. Then determine to learn about this famed medicine from the Konjola Mari, who is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city. Ask questions . . . ask to be told of any number of cases wherein Konjola has triumphed even after all else tried had failed. Now read and profit by the grateful words of Mr. King, who said to the Konjola Man: “For ten years I was in poor health. My stomach was in a terrible condition, and I had little or no appetite. I suffered from gas and stomach pains that I would rather not eat than suffer the misery afterward. My kidneys gradually became weaker; my back ached, and my rest was interrupted five or six times as the result of night rising. I had dizzy spells and headaches, and I lost faith in all medicines because so many failed to do any good. “But Konjola proved to be different. I developed a good appetite before I had finished the second bottle. My strength gradually returned, and dizzy spells and headaches vanished. I continued taking Konjola for three months, and non I feel like a different man. Even trace of indigestion has disappeared and y kidneys are again in good condition. I will praise Konjola so long as I live.” Konjola forms no habit: it contains no alcohol, nor a single harmful drug. It is all pure, wholesome medicine. A complete treatment of from six to eight bottles is recommended for best results. The Konjola Man Is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily, explaining the merits of this new and different medicine.
