MRS. LIZZIE COUNTS —Photo bv National Studio. Designed to afford prompt relief from ailments of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness, Konjola's record might often challenge belief were it not verified by thousands of grateful letters. Read the experience of Mrs. Lizzie Counts, 1242 South Pershing avenue, Indianapolis. In a recent talk with the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, Mrs. Counts said: “Two years ago I began to suffer with indigestion. I bloated terribly and had severe gas pains. Backaches and frequent nigty risings made sleep difficult and I became nervous. Neuritis' attacked my arms, shoulders and lower limbs. Headaches and attacks of dizziness were common. Konjola relieved me from the very first bottle. Today I eat heartily witftout distress, backaches and heaoacbcs have passed, my bowels are regular and the pains have left my arms, shoulders and limbs. I gladly recommend Konjola. I know it to be wonderful.” Konjola has done as much for thousands. Demand Konjola and get it; don t be switched to a substitute. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable drug store. Hbnois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily. FREE SAMPLES GIVEN —Advertisement.
