The symptoms Indicating the decline

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine pust-
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 t~onies, were 10 be
found In almost every house, compound
ed BY the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as piera, 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, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house 10 house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business Is a
natural o~utgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some ~enteprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would tske
II up, improve it in many ways, anu
facture il On a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus 1t would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old-time remedies. Il was used by the
Mennonites, Of Penn sylvania. before it
was offered TO the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
monte origin. First, be prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished il 70 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. Thew
have learned 10 trust and believe in
Dr.. Hartman's judgment, and TO rely
on he remedy, Peruna.
