It 3s now impossible to print all the imports that are pouring in re garding Karnak, but the case of Mrs.jJPearl Gi'-ei:, of 198 Luckie Street, Atlanta, is so full of inter est and her words o brimful of heartfelt gratitude to this wonder ful medicine, that it is given just as she tells it. “Ob, I could just shout for joy! because of the wonderful improve-! mentSKarnak has made in me,’' | says Mrs. Green. “Vfchen I tell you that I had to live on toast and milk for a year and even suffer torture then, and that now I eat all the meat, pota toes land vegetables I want with out a> minute’s suffering afterward, you tan realize why I think there is nothing in the world as grand as Karrfak. “\o matter how careful 1 was abogf eating, gas would push up against my heart until I felt it woufi be crowded out of my body. | I had a burning sensation in the pit gif my stomach all the time.
