ken Konjola themselves. because
they know what this medicine has
done for others and they know it
is the first remedy OF its kind to
receive over a thousand written
Endorsements from indianapolis
people.
Among the many employees of
Hooks who are strongly recommend
ing Konjola. probably none is bet
ter known than Mr.. Carl H. Will
hanson, a young indianapolis man,
living at 312 East 6Sth street, this
city. MI. Williamson is a window
decorator. He travels from one
Look store to another, and his work
c"ten takes him out Of town. Many
O. the Hook window displays, show
ing bargains in drugs and medi-
cjnes, are the work of Mr.. William
son. His own statement about the
wonderful relief Konjola has given
him appears as follows:
MY job calls for steady nerves"
said Mr.. Williamson. And 1 was
always in the best of health and
feeling fine until about six months
ago. I began losing weight and
going down in general. My nerves
seemed to be on edge all the time
I didn't know what it was to get
a full night Of rest, and when I
got up in the morning I felt SO ex-
hausted and tired that I could
hardly go on with my work Be
rides this nervousness, I began hav-
ing trouble with my stomach. I
seemed to have no appetite, and
just little food would upset my
stomach. Everything I ate dis
agreed with me and I would suffer
with indigestion pains of the worst
kind. and would often become so
bloated with gas that could hardly
breathe. Sometimes had dizzy
spells and was subject to headaches
almost every day. All of these mis-
cries kept dragging me down until
my health was dwindling away.
"Of course, I knew lot about
Konjola and heard several people
praise this medicine. but somehow
I never got started on it until after
I had tried some special prescrip-
tons and other medicines, which
did me no good, whatever. I made
up my mind to try Konjola, and
now I realize that it is just the
medicine I should have taken about
six months ago. 1t seemed to go
right to the source of my trouble,
because after few doses I was
able to eat lot more and my di-
Testlori was trnproving. L; a little
Jhile was able to sleep like log
from the time I went to bed until
I got up. This medicine certainly
strengthened my nerves. 1t also
stopped the dizzy spells and head
aches. don't have a touch of in
digestion any more. In fact, have
greater energy than I ever had in
the past two years. My work seems
ten times easier, and feel good at
the end of hard day at my trade
Yes, Konjola is a wonderful medi-
cine, and besides myself, know
there are thousand other people
right here in Indianapolis who have
said the same thing. We all strongly
recommend Konjola."
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
drug store, Illinois and Washington
SITS, 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 every

I decided to leave the ship rather
than f.*temut to land blindly.
I turned back southwest toward
less populated country and started
climbing in an attempt to get over
the clouds before jumping.
The main tank went dry at 1850
p. m. and the reserve twenty min
utes later. The altimeter then regis
tered approximately $4,000 feet, yet
the top of the clouds was apparently
several thousand feet higher.
Rolling the stabilizer back I cut
out the switches, pulled the ship
up into a stall and was about to
go over the right side Of the cockpit
when the right wing began to drop.
In this position the plane would
gather speed and spiral to the
right, possibly striking the para
chute after its first turn. returned
to the controls, righted the plane
and then dove over the left side
of the cockpit while the air speed
registered about seventy miles per
hour and the altimeter 10000 feet
The rip cord was pulled iinme-
diately after clearing the stabilizer
The Irving chute functioned per-
fectly.
I left the ship head first and was
falling in this position when the
risers whipped me around into an
upright position and the chute
opened.
The last I saw of the DH was as
it disappeared into the clouds just
after the chute opened. 1t was
showing and very cold For the
first minute or so the parachute
descended smoothly and then COM
menced an excessive oscillation
which continued for about five min
utes and which could not be
checked.

The first TWO lessons of Boyd Shorthand covers 112
syllables which be easily learned in a few hours
of study because the characters arranged that
when a student learns 16 syllables he practically
knows so. This explains how the student with few
weeks of study attain speed of hundred
words per minute and by subsequent practice can be
increased to 200 words per minute. Boyd Shorthand
