Pe-ru-na Makes Healthy, Happy Women.

Peruna is the remedy that will do this PerGna Is not nervinc nor n uuiating medicine. Fortuna cures just the condi- tion--catarrh.

GOLD FOR NEW YORK.
Shipment of S1,95O GOO Will Be
 Made from London,

London, Sept. l7.-"The mind of the market" says The Daily Chronicle this morning, 'cont,rucs to be prc-cccupird with the gold export question ar, cxag- gerated reports of largn witndra wais from the Bank of England for shipment to New York were utiiz d on the stock exchange to depress the markets"
 The Standard says: Recent arrivals of gold from south Africa and other quarters amounting to about $l,S50.U90 were today definitely engaged for ship ment to New York. There was some doubt whether this gold would go to New York or Vienna, but the fall in New York exchange just permitted the oper- atiOn to be carried through at profit It was also rumored that a iarge sum in sovcreigns would be shipped from South Africa direct to New York. but this seems to have been a misapprehen- sion.'

A Weak
 Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over. eating. An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol: Eat all the good food you want but don t over load the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need Q good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food with, out the stomach's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unneces- sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel ing of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals Absolutely cures indigestion.
