T he commerce of Panama amounts
to 93,000,000 annually, its population
being 300,000 and its area 31,571 square

Panama -and Colon annually, landing
1,000,000 tons of freight and 100,000 pas

and do away with the loading and un

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 doub'i-bow-knot are eaten
without even a "rumbling" and with a posi
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what Is
more—these foods are assimilated and
transformed Into the kind of nutriment that
la 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, tn
assimilative form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all
disorders arising therefrom.

“The writer regrets the ne

concerning your usual ex

following: Yesterday you
sold me lower nine, car three,
on The Pioneer Limited. But
you neglected to advise me
that it would be necessary
to have the porter waken me
in the morning, and, as there
\\ as so little motion to the
car, I overslept. I have cov
