GOOD NEWS BAY DISTRICT
ATTRACTING MINERS

The discovery of platinum in the
Good News Bay district. several
months ago. has attracted quite a
number of oldtimers from points
along the KuskokWim river. accord
ing to late arrivals from that dis
trict. Not a great deal is known
about the strike, its extent or values
but reports reaching Akiak and
Bethel seem to indicate great posi-
bilities and mining men Of that sec
ton are awaiting further develop
ment with a great deal of interest.
Some very rich ground was opened
last summer and it is known that
there are considerable quantities
of platinum bearing sand in the dis
trict, but whether or not all of this
sand can be worked by ordinary
methods is a matter yet to be de-
termined. It is understood a num-
Der of samples were sent to Fair
banks for assay but the results have

were made in connection with the
above: aluminium, 2; anthony, 10;

This assay work is done at the

Hopkins is assigned to this worl.
which is actually carried on at

final habits, or the refusal of vari-

poisons that gather in the system.
Konjola is a medicine that helps
the bowels, kidneys, liver and stom-
ach, to more healthy normal &C
ton, thereby relieving suffering hui
mainly of diseases of the inner syS-
tenn and restores glorious health to
them.
AS an example, Mr.. Frank Henry,
well-knoWn citizen of Indianapolis,
living at 251 Bakemeyer St, made
the following statement to the Kon-
jola Man who is at the Hook Drug
Store, Illinois and Washington Sts.,
where he is explaining the merits
of this medicine to large crowds
every day:
st am so thankful for the way
Konjola relieved the stomach and
kidney trouble I suffered for many
years." said Mr. Henry, that I will
always recommend this medicine to
others.
MY stomach caused me the most
trouble and because of this ailmenU

my inner system. 1t seemed that
everything I ate would form hard
knot in the pit of my stomach. |
did not have much appetite and only
ate the lightest of foods. Sometimes
1 would suffer from severe head
aches that lasted for weeks at a
time. My kidneys also gave me quite
bit Of trouble. They were so weak
I was forced to rise five and six
times during the night. OF course,
this broke up my rest so that felt
tired and WORKOUT in the morn
ing. During the day was subject
to pains across the small of my
back that made it almost impossible
for me to bend over. My whole sys-
tenn was disordered and felt sick
most all the time.
1T had been reading about the
wonderful results other people we're
getting from Konjola and I decided
I would try this medicine. The first
few bottles convinced me that this
was the only thing that would ever
help me. I have only taken small
quantity of Konjola but I truthfully
say that my food agrees with me
and all the gas bloating is gone. 1t is
a real pleasure to eat my meals
knowing I won't suffer afterward. I
do not have any more headaches
and for that reason this medicine is
worth its weight in gold to me. The
results I gained from kidney trouble
is remarkable. I seldom have to get
up during the night and that terrible
aching across my back never comes
over me.
"Konjola is the only medicine
that ever helped me and am GER
tainly glad to recommend it to any,
one who suffers"
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington
Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy. Konjola is sold at all the
Hook drug stores in Indianapolis and
other good druggists throughout this
section. ADVERTISEMENT
