Since April have never he'd a pain

After my experience with Kon.

full medicine I ever tried and will al
ways indorse it,"
Konjola is non-alcoholic. 1t Is diff
ferent than any medicine previously
known. Where many ordinary rene
dies contain only or 8 herbal in
gradients, which merely act as a lax
attve, 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 system
brings amazing relief In cases of sui
fering that had been going on for
years. AT the same time, many weak
and rundown systems have been re-
stored to new state Of health
through the use of this compound.
Such vast number Of men and
women in Indianapolis have bene'
flied by taking Konjola. until now II
has become the most highly Endorsed
medicine that is known in this vi
entity.

introducing and explaining the
merits Of this remedy. Konjola is
sold by every Hook Store in Indian,
