of rheumatism and neuritis have
readily yielded to Konjola. Stom-
ach, liver, kidney and bowel trou-
bleS were baniShed before the suf-
ferer hardly knew what was taking
place. The relief has not been
merely temporary, giving false
impression of security. Months and
years may pass without the Slight
est recurrence of a single Synp-
tom. The wonders that this medi-
cine works is graphically described
in a statement received from Mar
tinsville, Ind, a town located 70
miles southwest of Indianapolis. The
testifyer is Mrs. w. B. Williams, who
personally wrote the Konjola Man
al the Hook Drug Store, Illinois
and Washington streets, this city,
about her remarkable restoration
to health:
"For seven long years I was forced
to endure the ravageS of rheuma-
tism and kidney troubles, and until
Konjola was brought into my life
/ never knew a minutes RELIEF"
writes the now happy and healthy
Mrs. Williams. "HOW I suffered can
never be put into writing. Pains
day and night, like hot needles, ran
through my body. 1t was as If
plague had struck me. My ankles,
knees, arms and feet were affected.
Walking or houSework was extreme
agony. When I needed sleep to
combat the troubles of the follow
ing day, there was none for me.
Frequent bladder action forced me
to rise at all hours of the night.
My back was sore and achy. Head
aches were a common occurrence
and felt as if trip hammer were
beating my head. With the pass
ing of each day I grew worse, stead
iIy and surely. Hope had been
abandoned. The future was dark
and filed with dread of life Of
misery and suffering. There seemed
to be no end to my quest for relief.
"When Konjola was recommend
ed I sccffed at the idea Of a single
medicine relieving me. Days passed
and I had forgotten about such
medicine. When my case became
almost unbearable the name Of this
medicine was again brought before
me. Then I decided to take this
one last chance. If only it would
give me an hours relief. That alone
would be a blessing. What sur
prise awaited me. You will never
understand my feeling when the
first bottle showed marked i'm
provement. I didn't know what was
happening. thought a miracle was
taking place. knew it could not
be that continued the Konjola
treatment and today am well
woman. For the first time in seven
years I am living a life of happi-
ness. freed from the clutches OF
rheumatism and kidney trouble.
There isn't an ache, pain, or a sign
of stiffness or soreness throughout
nv body. All I can feel is a warm
glow of health. What a relief it is
what a Godsend Konjola was. I
praise this medicine to everyone,
young and old, rich and poor. 1t is
Incompatible"
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washing
ton streets, Indianapolis, where he
is meeting the public daily, intro
ducing and explaining the merits
of this medicine. Konjola is sold
at every Hook store in this city
and by all leading druggists
throughout this section.--Advertise-

COLLEGE AIDED
POWER TRUST

Methods by which the Texas pub
lie utilities spread propaganda for
the identification of the farming
section OF that State were under in
vestigation today by the Federal
ton of the power trust.
Charles w. Davis vice president
of the Dallas Power and Light Com
pany and chairman of the Texas
Public Service Information Bureau,
was the principal witness.
In campaigning in the rural coun-
ties, Texas utilities obtained strong
support and cooperation from the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
College and other institutions, Davis
revealed.
1.-The contact between the power
companies and the educational sys-
TEN of the State is of 80 years
standing" he said.
Davis denied that the real objec-
tive of the public utilities was to
keep the colleges and farmers In op.
position to any political move for
public ownership and operation of
the utilities # the State. He in
sisted that the contact with colleges
was logical and legitimate"
Officials of various Texas power
and water companies often were
called on to give lectures on econ.
onnic courses of these institutions,
and naturally set forth the view
most favorable for their further de.
veIopment, according to Davis.
