REMARKABLE GROWTH.
From 10000 to 1,OOO,O 900
i'm Ten Years.
Substantial Evidence of Public Apprecia-
tion-Rapid Extension of Business
Founded on Merit-When Newspaper
Advertising is Valuable.

The mark of public appreciation which
best indicates the meritorious character
of an article for public use, is the evil
dence shown by the necessity of enlarge
ment of business facilities Connected with
the production of the article. The Kick
apoo Indian Medicine Co., located at
New Haven, Conn.,, owning and manu-
featuring from the original formulas of
the Kickapoo Indians the famous medi-
cines of that celebrated tribe, have found
it necessary to make a substantial en-
largement of their factory by the pur-
chase of a six story brick building, con-
tanning about thirty thousand square
feet of floor space for conducting the
enormous and still increasing business
Of supplying their remedies to the pub
JIG. This growth has all been within
the past ten years; and this is the third
time the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co.
have outgrown their quarters since the
first introduction of the Kickapoo Rem
edies among the white people. Their
business has grown in ratio of one to a
hundred; or in other words, they are
the amount of business they did the
first year,
Merit q Necessary Basis.
This success resulted mainly from the
intrinsic merit of the Kickapoo RENE
dies; since their Introduction was large
ly attained with comparatively little or
no advertising, and that principally con-
sisting of parties of Indians with their
interpreters travelling from town to town
erecting their camps and showing the
people Just what the Kickapoo Remedies
were, and their use.
1t was only within the past two years
that the KickapoO Remedies have been
advertised in the newspapers, and then
only at first in certain sections after
their sale had been established, so as to
keep the merits of the Kickapoo RENE
dies before the people. This newspaper
advertising, however, has been of much
benefit to the sale of these famous med
icines, and has been largely instrumental
in etfecting the need of additional facili-
ties. Many people who were not reached
before are now using the Kickapeo In
dian Remedies, and some really aston
ishing cures have been wrought by these
simple compounds OF roots, banks and
herbs.
When Newspaper Advertising Pays.
Healy & Bigelow, the agents for the
Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company, APP
preciate and endorse most heartily the
value of the newspaper advertising for q
meritorious article, and say: I'VE find
that newspaper readers are very discrim-
mating, and inclined to be skeptical at
first, but after you have established con-
fidence in your goods and the people
find that your statements are reliable
then your business is bound to increase
and extend"
The Kickapoo Remedies consist of
only five articles, all of which are purely
the product of roots, barks, gums, leaves
and flowers, They are absolutely free
from mineral or other deleterious sub
stances, as attested to after chemical
analysis by X. III. Crittendon, Professor
of Physiological Chemistry at Yale Col
lege.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is a blood,
liver and stomach remedy. Kickapoo
Indian Oil is a quick cure for all pains,
stiffness, soreness, rheumatism, and the
like. .Kickapoo Indian Cough Cure, as
its name implies, is for throat and lung
difficulties. Kickapoo Indian Salve is
an excellent remedy for cuts, wounds,
sores, eczema, ETC., and Kickapoo In
dian Worm Killer is harmless and alb,
solutely certain remedy for those
troubles SO frequently met with among
children, viz: Seat, pin and stomach
worms. The Sagwa retails for one dol
lar bottle; the Cough Cure fifty cents ];
and the other remedies at twenty-five
cents bottle or package.
There is probably not a drug store in
the United States today where the Kick
apoo remedies are not obtainable, and we
are pleased to say that Messrs. Healy &
Bigelow have published in this paper,
and will continue doing SO, some really
marvellous cures effected by the Kicka-
poo Indian Remedies and also unim

said, bring Long Life and Good HEALTH -
