The Evolution ol
Household Remedies.
The modern patent medicine husi
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, home-made
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ning, some enterprising doctor, im
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home-made remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu
facture it on a large 6cale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna wa3 originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered tc the public for sale. Dr.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a manufactory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr. Hartman’s judgment, and to rely
ouiiis remedjr, Peruna. ,

The Timely Time.
I-ast spring our entire family took
a few weeks' course of Simmon's Sar
saparilla and its effects were extreme
ly gratifying. We enjoyed better
health all summer than usual, which
we attribute to its timely use.

THREE TRAINS WRECKED

JURED IN WRECK AT BIRMING
HAM, ALA.
Birmingham, Ala.. April.—As (he re
sult of a double wreck on the Southern
railway a short distance east of Wood
lawn, a suburb of Birmingham, early
Sunday, two men are dead and a num
ber injured.
The dead: Cal B. Harris, fireman on
wrecker, Tom Beverly, brakeman on
wrecker. The injured. James Wages,

head hurt and face scratched. S. H.
llill, engineer, internal injuries, Thom
as Powell, engineer, bruises on body,
white fireman, shoulder dislocated,
two postal clerks, slightly injured,
white passenger, knee cut.
The unusual character of the wreck
makes it surprising that the casual
ties were not more. A freight train
with a dead engine in front was com
ing toward Birmingham.
The operator, it is said, allowed No.
37, the passenger, to enter the block
and it. crashed into the dead engine,
smashing them both and demolishing
several tars. Three cars of the freight
train were thrown across the east
bound track almost at the instant that
the wrecker, en route to Heflin, Ala.,
passed.
The wrecker struck them and prac
tically the whole train piled into the
ditch. Two men were caught under
the engine.
The baggage and mail cars of tlie*
passenger train were torn up and the
three demolished engines with the de
bris strewn about presented a grew
Eorne spectacle.
Stole $50,000.
New York. April.—W. O. Douglas,

complaint of Oakleigh Thorne, presi
dent o,' the trust company, who discov
ered the loss of the bonds and

Mr. Thorne stated (hat after his ar
rest Douglas admitted to him that he
had i*ken the bonds. which were
those of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad Company, about ton
days ago. and also told where they
were. He said that lie had made no
attempt to dispose of them and that
he did not know why he took them.

The Change of Life
Sensible Advice to Women from Hrs. Henry Lee,
firs. Fred Certia and firs. Pinkham.
MRS HENRY LEE
Owing- to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand ap
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
I .Such warning, symptoms as sense
I of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
! backaches, melancholia, dread of im
pending evil. palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi
ness are promptly heeded by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.
Mrs. Fred Certia. 1014 So. T.afavette
Street, So, Bend, Ind., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
“Lydia E. Pinkkam's Vegetable Com
pound is the ideul medicine for women who
MRS. FRED CERTIA
are passing through Change of Lifo. For
several months I suffered from hot, Hashes,
extreme nervousness, headache and sleep
lessness. I had no appetite and could nob
sleep. I had made up my mind there was
no help for me until I began to use Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, my
l>ad symptoms ceased, and it brought, me
safely through the danger period, built,
up my system und I am in excellent health.
I consider Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound unsurpassed for women during
this trying period of life.”
Mrs. Henry I.ce4 GO Winter Street;,
New Haven, Conn., vwlits:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“After suffering untold misery for three
years during Change of Life I heard of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1 wrote you of my condition, and began to
take Lvdia E. Plnkhanvs Vegetable Com
pound and followed your advice, and to-day
I am well and happy. I can now walk any
where and work as well ns anyone, and for
years previous I had tried but could not get
around without help. 1 consider your medi -
cine a sovereign balm for suffering women ”
Women passing through this critical
period should rely upon Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If
there is anything’ about your case
you don’t understand write to Mrs.
Pinkham. Lynn, Mass., for advice. It.
is free and has guided thousands to
health.
When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health,
actually thousands of women, you cannot well say without trying
it, “I do not believe it will help me.” It is your duty to yourself
and family to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
