ening the inner organs until the
sufferers health is fully restored in
every way.
Thousands Of local people have
already called to see the Konjola
Man at Hooks Drug Store, Illinois
and Washington Streets, Indian
apoliS, and hear his personal expla-
nation of this celebrated compound,
and vast crowds are still calling ev-
cry day to find out for themselves
what this new medicine will do.
At the same time letters of praise
and gratitude are coming from men
and women all over this section
telling how this Konjola has helped
them. One of the latest received
by the Konjola Man is from Mr.. G.
T. Wright, S42 Parkway Street, IN
dianapolis.
II have improved so much since
taking Konjola that feel can
help others by telling what this
medicine did for me-" said Mr..
Wright. "It is the best medicine
that ever entered my home and I
rejoice to think that after several
years Of suffering found medi-
cine to give me lasting relief.
"a stubborn case of kidney trou-
BILE caused my whole system to be-
come very much rundown. I was
bothered with frequent night ris-
ing and this destroyed my rest ev-
cry night. Doctors told me 7 had
acid in my kidneys, which resulted
in terrible burning sensations in the
bladder. AS this trouble continued.
rheumatism gradually set in and
added greatly to my suffering. At
times my limbs would get cold and
it felt as though a thousand needles
we're piercing my flesh. The pains
kept me in almost constant misery
and I could never find anything to
help me. In time my stomach, too,
became disordered and nearly ev-
erything I ate would sour and fer
ment, filling my system with gas
until was so bloated up I could
hardly breathe.
II will frankly admit that I didn't
think Konjola would help me at the
time I started taking this medicine,
but in a few days time I noticed
such wonderful relief in my stom-
ach that I could realize it was true.
AS I continued to take this medi-
cine faithfully all the other symp-
toms disappeared and now my
health is back to normal in every
way. Konjola worked remarkably
fast and in my case, considering
my advanced age. My rheumatism
is gone entirely and every trace Of
kidney trouble has left me. I have
new strength and energy and wake
up every morning with the feeling
that I am glad am alive"
