SOME SECRETS OF
PATENT MEDICINES
The History Of the Origin of Many
of These Remedies Has
Been Peculiar.
VISITTO ALABORATORY
Process Of Manufacture as Seen in
an Establishment Known as
Buffalo, Seventh Wonder.

If we could trace the origin Of the
many things which enter into our daily
life we would doubtless be greatly sur
prised at what we would learn. In
some instances we would find that they
In other cases we would find that they
originated in some stroke of genius. In
still others we would find that they are
the direct outgrowth Of patience and
persistence. In others we would dis
cover that some article which is of
constant and almost universal use was
known to only the few until some man
decided to give what he knew to be
of great benefit to the whole world.
The history of the origin of proprie-
tary, or, as they are more commonly
known, patent medicines, has in some
instances been peculiar. :, For instance,
certain tonic which is dispensed at
all sodawater fountains and is found
most refreshing by thousands Of persons,
and which is used constantly by many
brain workers, was originated by a
Harvard professor. It was found to be
SO beneficial that this professor after
ward determined to put it upon the
market in shape for use by all who
only is this tonic used with benefit by
almost untold numbers, but the pro-
fessor's family is in receipt of a large
i income from the sale. There is Ger
tainly nothing wrong in this. The pro-
lessor conferred benefit upon man
kind and he was surely entitled to reap
the reward Of his labors.
Many other patent medicines have a
similar history. For instance, again,

tice. And so he, defed the ethics of
the right to advertise, and he is now

one of the best Of the many patent
medicines, but as one of the world &
greatest advertisers. Because he has

The estimation of his fellow townsme1
at Buffalo, where his mammonth estab
lishment is located, for they have given
him many honors, sent him to congress
and state senate, and he is recognized
as a progressive and philosophical cit
izen.
Many attacks have been made upor
patent medicines of late. For some rea
son, certain persons have felt them
selves called upon to decry their use, tc
throw doubt upon their efficacy, tt
question their honesty as well as the
| honor of those who have spent life
time in perfecting them and making
their value known to the public. But
in answer to these attacks, an investi
cation was demanded, and it was proven

UNDER NEW PRIMARY LAW
First Trial at Black River Falls-Ob
iections to the System.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, WIS.-The new prim-
airy election law is being tried here today. There
is much adverse comment and the general feel
ing is that 1t is a mistake in place of this
size. There is but one ticket in the field. the
republican. The provision making the candi-
dates file nomination papers with certain per
cent Of signers before their names appear on
the primary ballot Is regarded as a detriment to
the law. Another objection is that those who
sign the nomination paper are pledged to support
the candidate and it is often difficult to secure
liberty to change their vote If they see fit.
