It's Simply Amazing How
Quickly Karnak Overcame
His Wife's Troubles and Re-
stored Her Health, Says
Portland Man

Still the demand for Karnak in
Augusta increases. John Coughlin
is now becoming accustomed to the
enormous sales of the great health
builder and what few months ago
seemed a phenomenal record has
paled into insignificance in the face
of steadily increased number of bot
ties sold.
Such an acceptance however, of a
medicine is amazing. Nothing like
it has ever been heard of.
There is only one answer to this
tremendous demand-merit. Karnak
produces the results as nothing else
can in the way of restoring people
to normal health and nothing on
earth can keep it from outselling all
other preparations.
With convincing proof Of the re-
markable\ health building powers of
Karnak such as that which George
Casey of Belfast street, Portland,
Me-, reports his wife has experienced
from its use. it is easy to understand
why everybody is talking and prais-
ing Karnak.

act like magic in my wife's case and

strength so quickly that I can hardly
realize she is the same person." saws
Mr.. Casey.
I'll tell you, my wife has been a
terrible sufferer with stomach trouble
and indigestion. Why, many days
she would be in such misery that she
couldn't eat bite of food and would
have to give up and go to bed. She
would stand it just as long as she
could and try to force herself to do
her housework but she would simply
have to give up. She would have ter
rible bilious spells and would suffer
from sour stomach, bloating and con-
stipation, and would have sick head
aches for days at a time.
well sir, nothing seemed to do her
a particle of good until I got Karnak
for her. 1 heard so much about the
medicine that bought her a bottle
and induced her to try it. And from
the way it helped her it was just
what she had needed all the time.
Why, she doesn't know what it is to
be bothered with stomach trouble,
constipation or biliousness now, and
the headaches are thing of the past.
You can bet your life I'm a firm be-
lever in Karnak now. and believe
this medicine is bound to help any
body who tries it."
