Of our family who benefited by TAX
ing Konjola, and so this medicine
has meant a great deal to US and
we gladly indorse it."
Konjola is non.alcoholic. It Is diff
ferent than any medicine previously
known. Where many ordinary RENE
dies contain only 7 or herbal in
gradients, which merely act as a
laxative, this new Konjola contains
twenty-five juices extracted from
natural plants which invigorate the
stomach, liver kidneys and bowels
to more healthy action. The effect
of Konjola on the whole inner-sys-
tenn brings amazing relief in cases
of suffering that had been going on
for years. At the same time many
sick and rundown systems have been
restored to a new state of health
through the use Of this compound.
Such a vast number of men and
women in this city have benefited by
taking Konjola, until now 1t has be-
come the most highly Endorsed medi-
cine that is known in this vicinity.
The Konjola Man is at Hook S
Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Mar
ket SITS, Indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the mer-
its of this remedy. Konjola is sold
by every Hook Store in Indianapolis,
and by all good druggists in the near
by towns throughout this section.--
