Mrs. Mary J. Johnson, residing at

relief from six years suffering from
stomach trouble by Akoz, the wonder

statement was given by Mrs. john

the Old Crow bar. 755 Market street,
enc of the best known men in his line
of business in the city.
For six years my wife has suffered
from stomach trouble. At times her
condition became alarming. Gas would
form and cause pain in the abdomen
that caused her great agony. She got
so she could not get Q good nights
sleep and lost weight She doctored
with everything that was suggested
to her, but got no relief. She got some
OF the Akoz powder for making min

days the gas disappeared and the
pains that had distressed her had
likewise gone. In a couple of weeks
her appetite returned A few days
longer she found she was sleeping as
she did before she was sick, and after

1t is folly to talk about Iwilei and law

Thus spoke James A. Rath, head
worker of the Palama Settlement, at
a meeting of the Mems League of Cen

the presentation of his report as chair
man of the social evil committee.
I'VE have been told" Mr.. Rath con-
