HATTIE FUSSELL i Oklahoma (near Ponca City). "I had a very stubborn case of constipation and indigestion that caused me to fill with gas and I would bloat beyond description. I lost many night's rest as a result, my nerves were in a terrible condition and growing worse with each day. My kidneys caused me to get up four and five times each night and my stomach refused to digest my foods properly. Headaches were a constant source of suffering and what disturbed me most was the fact that no medicine was capable of helping me.

But a short trial of KruGon soon changed all of that." "By the time I had finished my second box of KruGon I was feeling like a new person," continued Mrs. Fussell. "My stomach and bowels were regulated, my kidneys functioning properly and I was my former self again. I now cat and enjoy my mwls without those awful after effects, sleep good and get up in the morning refreshed and ready for the day before me. KruGon is one medicine that does not dis- apooint with the results it gives." KruGon is sold by McDaniels Drug 115 East Second this city.
