DO You Enjoy
What You Eat ?

You can eat whatever and whenever you
like If you take Kodol. By the use of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a double bow-knot are eaten
without even "rumbling" and with posi-
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is
more these foods are assimilated and
transformed into the kind Of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Kodol is the only digestant or combination
of digestants that will digest all classes of
food. In addition TO this fact it contains, in
assimilatve form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.
Kodol cures Indigestion, dyspepsia and al:

ALABAMA GOLD FIELDS.
Irhe State GeoIoeist Explains Status of
 the Work.

lTo the Editor of the AgeHerald
 /; I have read your article on Southern Nold Mines" which leads me to say that we have already published two prelimln- Inry reports on our Alabama gold fields, namely, Bulletin No. 3. on the Lower Gold lBelt by Dr. William B. Phillips, 1892; and tBuletin No. ,, on the Upper Gold Belt, lby w. H. Brewer and others, 1896. ! In these two reports the gold resources kof the state are fairly well presented nnd the most important occurrences de- tscribed in some detail. Every summer land fall since 1896 parties have been en- lgased in field work in this region, pre- lparatory to it's complete mapping and de- Ecription.
 | The work has been delayed by lack of hdequate base maps, which are being pre- kpared by the topographic division of the fTnited States Geological survey. This Organization agrees to allot each year idrom its funds an amount equal to that brontrlbuted by any state for the map Iping of its territory: but since we have lbeen able to spare for this purpose from lpur state survey fund only $10OO a year lfor the past four years, the mapping has progressed slowly, and the last legisla- lture was not willing to expedite the work hy more generous contribution, although tearnestly solicited to do so.
 l We hope to be able to finish up our l3ield work here during the coming season, tbut in advance of the full report above mentioned, it is the intention to prepare for use at the St. Louis exposition and sewhcre q concise statement of our gold resources. Such a summary Is desirable, both because Bulletin No has been out of print for several years, and because several new developments have been made since the last publication, and at least one cyanide plant has been installed for the treatment of refractory ores
 Our investigations have shown us that ores in sufficient quantity and of suffi- ciently high grade for profitable working occur at many points in Alabama, and there seems to be no good reason why the imning of gold should not be a paying in- Nestment ill this state. Very respectfully.
