Everybody is Tired - Spring
Weather Does lt-Every One
Should Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tons, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss
of sleep. Peruna meets every indica-
ton and proves itself to be perfectly
adapted to all their varied peculiari-
ties. Peruna invigorates the system,
rejuvenates the feelings, restores the
normal appetite and produces regular
sleep.
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect of
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold of winter, quietly
disappears when Peruna is taken
Thousands are daily testifying to it's
priceless benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 West 18th
street, Des Moines, a., writes: Il am
happy to give my endorsement for
your valuable medicine, Peruna, as l
consider it a valuable medicine to take
when the system is run down from
overwork. About two years ago felt
that must take long rest as l had
been unable to work for over a month

could not sleep at night and was in
very nervous, high strung, condition.
l decided to try what Peruna would do
to build up my strength, and am
pleased to say that began to improve
very shortly, and in less than two
months I was able to take up my
work, and felt better than l have for
years. take it now twice year and
find that it keeps me in perfect
health" Mrs. Kassatt was for over
ten years the manager of plant fur.

Tired. Nervous Women.

There are thousands of them every
where. A few bottles of Peruna would
do them untold benefit. AS a tonic
and nerve invigorator it has no equal.
1t builds up the nerves, it gives
strength to the circulation and at
once restores the appetite and diges-
ton. No feeble woman should be
without Pe-una.

morrow will say:
Distrbutive trade generally is mark
ing time while past results ana future
prospects are subjects of consideration.
A period of marked. even unexpected,
activity in holiday goods of higher
than usual quality has brought To
close "a year which because of marked
improvement in the last quarter has
ended better than ii began and GER
tainly in far better shape than seemed
POSSIBLE at the turn of the year.
Wholesale trade is naturally of tho
lightest at this season of stock taking
and inventory. and stormy weather
and the furry in raw cotton have been
additional chilling influences. Rather
less than the usual annual clearing
sales have occurred because of the
notable absence of stocks of finished
goods pressing for sale. Collections
SHOW some effect from the recent
heavy circulation of money in retah
lines in enlarged receipts.
Industry is OF notably large volume
for this season of the year especially
in iron and steel and kindred lines of
manufacture. The cotton goods manu-
featuring trade has, however. been
again unsettled by the slump in cotton
to below cost of production.
Southern trade feels the slump in
cotton keenly. but there is DISPOSE
ton to believe that the South Will not
