of Lynn, Mass, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years
made study of the ills of her sex
she has consulted with and advised
thousands of suffering women. who
to-day owe not only their health but
even life TO her helpful advice.
Mrs Fannie D. Fox, of Chestnut

The testimonials which we are con-

establish beyond doubt the power of

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing In return for her advice. 1t is

WHERE DOES THE NEW GOLD COR
How the 1929 ZOO, 900 Mined Annually
Is Distributed.

No phase of the financial situation
has attracted more attention, in the
forecasts of the coming year, than the
Eight years ago, this product footed
up a trifie over 0O,O00,0 900; in 1898,
it rose to 1906, 700, 900; sank to $751;
100000 in 1900, during the Transyaal
blockade; established a new high
record" in 1908, with it's 1928, 500, 900;
has certainly exceeded this in 1904,
with the $4,000, 900 increase in South
Africa, and will probably expand still
further in the approaching year.
Leaving aside the general question
of the influence of these new supplies
on markets highly interesting uues-
ton arises: Where does the new gold
go? Even allowing for the very sub
stantial portion used in industry Cup
words of $20,000,000 is thus annually
consumed, in the United States alone),
who gets the rest? In particular,
which nations are the benefciaries?
This country gets a reasonable
share, during the II past months, the
treasury's figures show that the Am
erican stock of gold, in and out of the
treasury, has increased by $50, 100000
nearly one-sixth of the wholeworld's
output The great European banking
institutions, too, have had their share;
nine of them have added 100000
600 gold to their reserves during the
Of ,rhin oh q
$55,00O,000 went to the Bank of
France, $95,00000 to the Imperial
Bank of Russia, $22,000,0O0 to the
Bank of Germany, and only $S,500,000
to the Bank of England. When allow
ance is made for use by foreign re-
fineries, and for the large amounts of
gold which. in European communities,
pass into hand-to-hand circulation, the
balance, unaccounted for OF perhaps
$4,000 900 in the annual output, is not
excessive.
But the flow of this new gold from
nation to nation is more peculiar. Eng
land owns the Transvaal mines, which
have produced about $7S,000,000 gold
these II past months; yet the Bank of
England added only one-twentieth Of
this sum to it's gold reserve. The past
years gold output in the United States
was not far from $4,000, 900; yet,
scarcely one-third as much was adj
ded to our home circulation. despite
a large additional gold import. On
the other hand, Russia, whose own
yearly gold product is barely $685.
100000, has been able to add four
times that sum to the Imperial Banks
reserve, while France, which produces
no gold at all. stands second to Rus

an example has occasionally to be made
of these restless, lawless gentry, else
the gulf would become once more a
