cleansing and stimulates the liver
and kidneys; so that the po1sons,
which have accumulated in the body
for a long time, are eliminated in a
natural way. Then comes an eager
desire for food to renourish the
system, and a new, fresh supply OF
blood brings life energy and new
feelings of health.
Thousands of Indianapolis people
have experienced new joy in living
after they found Konjola. This is
the most talked-of medicine in the
State of Indiana, and it is all due to
a superior form of merit, unheard-
of in any other remedy.
Just few days ago, the following
signed statement was received from
Mrs. Carrie Lockhart, 857 S. Rybolt
ST., Indianapolis, by the Konjola
Man, who is meeting the public daily
at Hooks drug store, Illinois and
Washington. SITS, this tcity.
Since my stomach trouble is gone
I enjoy good health again." said
Mrs. Lockhart, land my skin has
cleared up, and the old, worn ap-
pearance has gone from my face.
Indigestion was my greatest
trouble. Gas would form in my
stomach and I became so terribly
bloated that I could hardly breathe.
MY throat was raw and irritated,
owing to undigested food, which
raised into my throat. Nearly every
thing I ate would sour and ferment,
SO my food did me no good at all.
My blood was in bad condition, and
this caused my skin to break out.
81 began taking Konjola, and this
medicine gave me wonderful relief
from the stomach trouble, and I
never bloat up with gas or have in
digestion pains like used to. My
appetite is increased and my skin
is cleared up. This Konjola has
changed my whole physical con-
dition, so that my digestion is better
than it has been in years, and 1
seem to feel good all the time. I am
indorsing this medicine to help
others who are suffering"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
rug store, Illinois and Washington
*, indianapolis, where he is daily
netting the local public and in
trsucing and explaining the merits
OF his remedy. Konjola is being

"The second is that control legis-
