The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
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, Iaxatives and tonics, were to be
found In almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barke. 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 a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, sene enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness Of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
1t up, improve it in many ways, manu-
iacture 1t on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almsnacs for the home,
and thus 1t would become used over
large area. L. 7GRLY THE HOUSE
HOLD RENE = USINESS TOOK
A MORE EXA@r AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Feruna 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 COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
ronite origin. First, he prescribed 1t
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished 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.

that everybody In town knows that
he is q hindrance rather than a help
to the community. He is not wanted
In public positions, and when ques-
tons OF local interest and Importance
arc discussed, his opinion carries far
less weight than the man who con.
tributes his share to the prosperity of
the community by spending his mon
ey where he earns 1t.
In addition to losing in large de-
gree the respect of others and his
own self.respect, the man who does
nothing to build up the town In which
he lives fails TO find the contentment
which is necessary to happiness. Hav-
ing done nothing to make the town
better, he is unable to see the many
advantages II possesses, and Is con-
tinually talking and thinking OF Its
deficiencies, He does not move out,
however, but stays on year after year,
o discontinued parasite, getting all he
can and giving as little as possible in
return. There is an unwritten law OF
nature that makes It impossible for
enc to really taken an interest In
place until he has done something for
Il, and It Is only when we have done
our share toward building up the town
In which we live that 1t becomes a
real home to u.s.
Perhaps the local dealers In country
towns do not always have in stock
Just the articles you desire, but they
are usually willing to order whatever
their customers want, and under or
binary circumstances can supply you
as quickly as you can procure the
goods from q mail order house. When
you buy OF the home merchant, the
goods are before you and you see
what you are getting. In buying by
mail there Is always chance that
when the goods arrive they will not
prove to be just what you expected
and desired. In that case you are put
to the inconvenience OF sending them
back for exchange, or II the need is
immediate and pressing, you are
obliged to accept that which is not
entirely satisfactory.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN. NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since,

How many women-aud men too
are suffering from general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable TO check! How manv hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are pOwerlcss 10 hclpl Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilltated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task OF
lighting off tho infection of these diseases
to which most Of us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than IN tho
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
For six months after the birth OF my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like O rush of
blood to my forehead, just back Of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so 1
could hardly sec and black spots foated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. MY appetite was Door

DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. ]

grew stronger. The pills gave mo u
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
1870 pounds. believe tho pills to be the
best tonic ard builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical aud / have never
been seriously Ill since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in tho fact that thoy actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, tho
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated TO do its work.

are taking does not cure you, write for

then, toward making 1t possible for

In a recent editorial the Ore
gonian discusses the direct pri-
mary law with faint praise, its
object being to create a senti-
ment in favor of certain changes
in it which will be attempted at
the next session of the Legisla-
ture. The principal point of at
tack will be Statement No. l
which is very Objectionable to
party bosses as is the whole law
for that matter. In 1901 when
the bill was introduced into the
Senate by a member from Multi
nomah, Jack Mathews exclaimed:
What in--are you doing!
Don't you know that bill viii put
us fellows out of business if it
becomes a law? Aren't you go
ing to play the game with us?"
Now it is just such fellows as
Jack Mathews, Joe Simon Char
ley Carey, etc., that the law is
aimed at and whenever it is
changed by the Legislature it
will be referred to the people
and kept intact as it is. State
ment No. l is in the interests of
the people and against the inter-
ests of the political bosses and it
will be kept where it is in spite
of all attempts to knife" it.
Nevertheless it will be attacked
and and if any considerable
strength is developed for the
change it will be improved" in
such a manner that the whole
matter of choosing candidates
for Office will be again under the
manipulation Of the political boss
es of the state and another crop
of statesmen like Mitchell, Mays,
Williamson, Baker, Hermann,
Carey, Mathews and their innu-
merable tribe of followers will be
developed in our midst. We've
had enough of that kind. The
direct primary law is the hand
cuffs and shackles which keeps
them where they belong politi-
cally. 1t will be kept on the
statute books!
