The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness Is the natural outgrowth of tho
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, Laxative and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies az
picra, which was aloes and quassia,
dissolved In apple brandy. Some
times hop tonic, made of whiskey,
hops and bitter barks. A score or
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulate
for which were passed along from
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business Is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would
take 1t up, improve it In many ways,
manufacture it on large scale, adj
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over a large area. LAT
TERLY THE HOLD
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is Of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed 1t for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manu-
factory and furnished 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 on his remedy,
Peruna.

Radiun Clocr

We can not say that perpetual mo-
ton has actually been discovered. but
the radium clock comes very near To II
A small quantity of radium b put in a
glass tube, at the lower emil of which
Is an electroscope with TWO long
strips of silver. The activity of the
radium induces the minus beta" rays
to be conducted to the tips, when the
leaves Of the electroscope expand and
touch the sides of two conducting
wires. Of course, the currents are at
once released and the leaves fall back
again. The beats are repeated every
two minutes, and the calculation is
that it will continue for no less than
10000 years, which is about as near
to perpetuity as any one need trouble
about.

How He Killed His Man.

General Wheeler and a number Of
his colleagues in the service were once
swapping war stories, when Little
Joe" was reminded of one that he had
heard not long before. "A friend of a
veteran of the Union forces once asked
whether the latter, in his term of ser
vice in the Civil War, had ever killed
a man. The old soldier hesitated a
moment before replying. Well said
he, 4 think that about the only one
was a Confederate at the first battle
of Bull Run. You see, l was footing
it in a startling way, and the "Reb''
chased me for something over dis
lance of ten miles. Then he dropped
dead from exhaustion"

respondent there is no other page in
the history of Doodle so black as that
which Prosecuting Attorney Heney has
unfolded. Graft in the Golden Gate
City has been wholesale, limited by
nothing; it has included anything
and everything out of which a dol

overlooked nothing, spared nothing, ap-
parently feared nothing. From street
vendor to millionaire, from dive
keeper to corporation official, from the
brothel to the brOwnstOne front-there
lay the course of graft. Nothing was
too little to be accepted as tribute.

DEATH TRAIL GROWS.
Mexican Earthquake Known to Have
Affected Wide Territory

Late news from .he area of destruction
in the recent Mexican earthquake shows
that the devastation wrought was greater
than at first supposed. Besides the de-
struction of the cities of Chipancingo
city of Tixtla, between the two cities
above named and containing about the
same population as Chilpancingo, was
also lcveled to the ground, and messen-
gers from the coast who have reached
Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayut-
la and Ometepec have been wiped off the
map. Ayutla is one of the most historic
towns in the republic.
Ometepec is farther south, near the
boundary line of the States of Fuerrero
and Oaxaca. 1t is town of about 1000
inhabitants and it is feared that the loss
of life here may be heavier than at
Ayutla. Tlapa, a town eighty miles west
of Chilpancingo and near the border line
of the State OF Oaxaca, is also reported
to have been wiped out The report from
Chilpancingo says that the whole of the
west coast from Acapulco south to Salina
Cruz, the Pacific terminal of the Tehuan-
tepec National railway, Mexico's new
transcontinental road, which was opened
with elaborate ceremonies last January
by President Diaz, has been badly dam
aged.
1t is reported that Acapulco is partly
submerged from the great waves which
dashed over the breakwaterS. Although
no breath of wind was stirring on the
night of the first shock, when the earth
began to tremble, the sea was dashed into
fury and as the shocks continued the
harbor look on the appearance of a ty-
phOOn-sWept ocean.
Devastation wrought by the earth
quakcs is much greater than at first re-
ported. Many more than 800 are believ-
ed to be dead. Reports summarize the
damage as follows:

DON'T GRUMBLE AT TRIPLES.

Saltcoats, Sask., Dec. 8, 1906.
TO the Editor-Dear Sir:
l willingly give you the result OF my
-four and half years experience IN
the District of SaItcoats.
Previous to coming here farmed In
Baldwin, ST. Croix County, Wis, and
as have heard a great deal about the
Canadian Northwest, l decided to take
a trip there and see the country for
myself. l was so impressed with the
richness of the soil that l bought half
IA section of land about five miles from
the town of Saltcoats. | moved on to
the land the following June, and that
year J broke 80 acres, which l crop
ped In 1904, and had 80 bushels wheat
per acre. In 1905, with an acreage of
4160 acres, had "a bushels wheat and
35 bushels of oats per acre, In 1906,
with IT'S acres under crop, I had %
bushels wheat and 45 bushels Of oats
per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
YOU can readily understand that l am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, l have had to work
hard, but don't mind that when l get
such good return for my labor.
To any one thinking about coming to
this country I can truthfully say that
81 they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifles, they are bound to
get on. Some things would like diff.

droning serves the double purpose OF
bringing on the hypnotic state and at the
same time making the patient feel at ease,
and that there is to be no scoldng or
cross examination, the subject of CONVEX
sation being such as to soothe the person
under treatment and turn her thoughts to-
ward cheerful matters. AS soon as the
hypnotic slumber ensues certain admoni-
lions are given to the sleeper in sharp
er, more decided tone, assuring her that
definite changes will take place in her dis
position that will make her better and
happier, care being taken to first ascer-
tain the particular bent of mind or tai
ent, if any exists. so that her energies
can be directed along the lines of natural
fitness. This discourse is repeated several
times.
The good effect, the doctor says, is i'm
mediate, and usually lasting, although
there are occasional lapses. In such
cases, however, the second treatment is
apt to be more effective and permanent
in its results than the first. 1t is not
claimed that it will heal physical le-
sion. All that DR.. Quackenbos claims is
that by suggestion in hypnosis one can
make man do anything physically possi-
bic and morally right. 1t brings about,
he says, a physiological as well as q
psychological change of being. He con-
tends that there is in every person what
Prof. James calls the higher spiritual
SELF" and st. Paul denominates the
Inner man." which, when aroused by
suggestion, is stronger than any passion
or appetite.

Spencer Cosby. Corps Of Engineers. dated
January q instant. setting forth the condi-
ton of the piers of the Aqueduct bridge
across the Potomac river at Washington, as
demonstrated by recent examination.
Capt. Cosby states that pier No. / is In
such bad condition that II is unsafe, and
that 1t should be torn down Immediately
and replaced by new one, the cost OF
which it is estimated will be $4,000. He
further states that there is balance
amounting to about $4,000 remaining from
appropriations heretofore made for the re-
construction Of piers Nos. 4 and S, and sug-
gests that that balance be made available

Of the other piers of the bridge and for the
making Of such repairs to them as may be
found necessary.
