play the good old game of faro, per-
fectly at home and without fear of
interruption. The entrance is from

is luxuriously furnished. Carpets are

Women of the business world keep

4 Roland, ILL.,, June 27.-Diabetes has
so long been looked upon as an incur.
able form of kidney disease that a
sure cure for it must rank as one of
the most valuable medical discoveries
Of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will cure diabetes. I'm.
portant evidence in their favor is CIV
en- by Rev. Thos. P. Norman, the we'll
known Baptist minister here. Mr..
Norman says:
II had all the symptoms of bad
case of diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that I cheerfully recommend
them. to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of diabetes"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
diabetes, one of the final stages of
kidney disease. All the earlier stages
from backache to rheumatism are
naturally much more easily cured by
the same remedy.

|NHY: not WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS,
Suggestions by Dr. Hartman. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
: Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
an@mic nerve centers. The nerve cen.
tiers are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced as
direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve cen.
ters. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life a vitality which ere.
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey "a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in
recent letter from ia Alabama street,
writes: "To society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the
utmost from lack of rest and irregular
meals, know Of nothing which is of so
much benefit as Peruna. I took it
few months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and 1t soon made Itself
manifest In giving me new strength
and health. Miss Blanche Grey.
Pe.ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir.
ing 8 drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It is perma
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if ,Peruna contained any drugs Of
a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we ara
peculiarly liable to infammations of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easist and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by it's peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.
