"It brings a breath of medieval times with its romantic and legend-encrusted castles, its wealth of musical atmosphere, and ita great mountains and splendid forests extending for miles and miles. "Gothic villages drowse within Its boundaries and dream of the. past Even the cities seem noiseless, and; silence pervades the rural districts,;; where everything is quiet except forf the little goose girt who drives her flock as she sallies out into a century too advanced for her surroundings.

He says: "4 was in a terribly run down condition, the result of indigestion. 1 was hungry, but could not eat, and then my appetite failed me. I lost htbition in an ultra-modem theater in v thirty pounds and was getting wo^se and worse all the time. I read so much about Konjola that I decided to try it. Right from the first bottle I noted improvement, and today I am back tp my former weight; appetite is good and digestion is all I could wish. I have recommended Konjola to others and all are pleased with the results they got." Konjola does act swiftly, attacking at the source of ills, Konjola is designed to relieve, but a complete treatment of from six to eight bottles is strongly recomniended.
