Nervousness Is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs Of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want Of
proper nutrition.
This Is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host Of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root Of
the difficulty by correcting the digestion.

LAssrrUDE IS STILL IN EvI- DENCE.
Dealings Fall at Times to Rather Insignificant Proportions, and
 Movement of Prices is Mar row and Irregular.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-The lassitude which began to make itself manifest in yesterdays trading in stocks was stifl more in evidence today. The dealings fell at times to rather in- significant proportions and the movement of prices was narrow and irregular. the more favorable turn to the war news today did not avail to sustain the market any more than the depression in the foreign markets yesterday served to hold back prices in the face of the That party was rather quiescent today or re- stricted in the field of It's operations. In view of the cessation of the upward movement, it was argued that the light pressure of selling was suggested on the other hand that the light realizing on the turn went to demonstrate very small speculative following for the or ganized speculation which set about lifting prices as an invitation to the outside public to come into the market and secure the benefit of rising prices. The rising points were at- tain prices for lack of other explanation. The Pennsylvania group was conspicuous and the advancing tendency of the Goulds was called sympathetic on the assumption that a Gould Cassat hafnonization was involved The coal CTS were firm at the same time on rather fa- vorable trade reports.

The former was affected by rather less encourag. ing reports of trade prospects and by the re- ported failure of the Southern iron interests to come to an agreement as to prices out put. The conspicuous lack of confirmation of any of the numerous rumors of railroad com- binations amongst minor systems. which &C., compsnied the early upward movement in those stocks, is the subject of come comment amongst the party which is ssep&ical of the present advance.
