The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busf-
ness is the natural outgrowth Of the
old-timc household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, Bit
tiers, laxatiyes and tonics, were to DO
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picrs,
which was aloes and quassia, dis
solved in apple brandy. Sometimes a
hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and
bitter barls. A or more of pop
ular, 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 whoIe-
some, old-time custom. In the Begin
ming some enterprising doctor, im-
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home : made remedies, would
t<thC H ~ AIuPAONO IL At hluHy ways
manufacture it on a 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 HOUSEHOLD REMEDY
BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT
AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
Peruna was originally n of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, be-
lore it was offered to the public for
sale. DIR. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manufac-
tory 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 Ca
tarrhal diseases generally THOU

and its value in the treatment of these
ailments. They have learned to trust

Aae of Man in Switzerland.


1t is not often that estimates are
given in years of the time that has
elapsed since the appearance Of early
races of men. Such an estimate,
however, has recently been made by
DR.. Jacob Nuesch concerning the
ancient inhabitants of Switzerland.
According to DR.. Nuesch, man first
appeared on Swiss soil about $4,000
years ago. He dwelt there during
5000 years, when great changes oc-
Cured, and for 5000 to $4,000 years
man seems to have been absent. He
reappeared at the beginning of the
Lake Dwe1lers' period, which lasted
40oO years, and closed 1000 years
ago, with the introduction of bronze.

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proachcs 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 q 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
hosto of nervous Invitations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of s~uffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
b~ackaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel.

APPENDICITIS

Menaeeries and JungIes the Baby Can
Wander In Safely.

WdflOCT III S0iS'y
There's a new kind of creeping
blanket. It is a big stretch OF deep
cream colored blanket material, OF a
firm consistency, so that it lies on the
floor as fiat as a rug.
1t is embroidered with a scattering
of animals and birds in bold outline
and gay color. No relation of sizes Is
regarded by the blanket designer.
Birds, elephants, tigers, butterflies
are drawn in any scale. They are
placed at generous distances apart to
invite. a creep from the baby from one
to the other. A centre space Is LETT
free for the baby's name in easy flow
ing script.
Gay colored worsteds are used for
the embroidery. Animals and birds
should be worked in the brightly con-
trasting colors that endear toys to
babies hearts. The worsteds are all
fast colorsH, for of course the creeping
blanket needs many cleanings.
The delight that babies take in these
blankets justiies their invention.
They pat and rub at the vivid hued
animals with absorbed interest or
crows of glee.

no end of effort" says a young mother.

keeps him busy for an hour at a time.

A lining of some smooth, dust re-
polling material should be basted In

moved when the blanket is cleaned or
washed.-New York Sun.

Dangers of a Methodist Circuit Rider
In Texas In Early Days.

The Rev. w. J. Joyce, chaplain OF
the House of Representatives. OF the
Texas State Legislature, encountered
many hardships in the earlier days Of
Texas, when he was a circuit rider up
on the frontier. In speaking Of his
experiences he said the other day:
Il hope that I may be pardoned for
saying that it required courage to be
a Methodist circuit rider In Texas n
the early days. Forty years ago l
Travelled the Uvalde Methodist mis-.
sion circuit, which was at that time
three hundred miles around and from
thirty to sixty miles between appoint
ments. Every mile OF the distance
was beset with dangers from Indians.
In travelling the 800 miles of the
circuit, Of course, l got very lone

frequently used birds and animals as
sentinels.
'If l could locate a drove OF buzz
yards in a tree | would make my way
to a point al close to them as possible
and lie down. I knew that If Indians
should approach the buzzards would
flop their wings and fly away from
the place and that the noise would
awaken me.
"On n occasion slipped as near

my horse and rode three or four miles

Relief For scalds and Burns.

Scrape raw potatoes enough to
make a thick poultice large enough to
cover parts affected. Pain will cease
as soon as it is applied and unless
the burn is quite serious, a second
application will not be needed. In
case of a severe burn though. it is
well to prepare two poultices and
have one cooling while the other is
in use. The potato should be brought
direct from the cellar or out Of doors
where they will cool. In case quite
