The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine pusi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time hou sehold remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonies, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed 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. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, home made
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business 10 q

The symptoms indicating the decline

scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of

u = typical one. She says:
.'For six months after the birth of my
baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like rush of
blood to my forehead. just back Of my

on this sickness. My appetite was poor

hearty appetite and now weigh over

The great value of DR.. Williams Pink

make new blood and this carries health

Cures for Railroad Accidents.

From the Springfield Republican.
The New York Tribune has compiled
list of the more or less fatal railroad acct
dents which have taken place in the United
States during the past six months. 1t totals
4o disasters, with 351 persons killed and Ala
injured-nearly all passengers, of course.
This Is not including Saturdays wreck on
the Harlem road, which would bring the
number Of killed up to 372, and injured up
to 600 or thereabouts. Going back however.
only to December 30, which would bring In
the Baltimore and Ohio accident near
Washington, with its total of 50 killed, we
should have death list of do within less
than two months. and this is above the
average Of yearly fatalities among passen-
gers from train accidents up to within a
year or two.
A reader suggests as cure for this mex
cusable sacrifice of human life that the
United States government impose a fine or
tax upon railroads proportioned to the num-
Der Of lives lost In train accidents from
causes within control Of the companies
this tax to be heavy enough to make acct
dents serious matter financially to the
railroad company involved. 1t is thought
that this would put an end in short order to
a repetition of the disgraceful accident rec
ord of recent years.
Doubtless 1t would. If the fine or tax,
which might more validity be levied by the
states than by the federal government, were
made SO large as to force a reduction Of
dividends In case of any considerable loss
OF life from accident. safety In railroad
travel would be largely increased. There
would be no further hesitation in instituting
the most approved systems Of block signal
Ing. There would be no tolerance of disre-
gard of signals by trainmen or of the prac-
tice Of running upon occupied blocks under
''cautionary'' signals. Fewer risks would
be taken In sending out impaired rolling
stock. There would be less running of high
speed trains-less perhaps than an impatient
travelling public would want.

college and through him present memo
rial to the earl marshal Of England. who
acts for the crown in these matters. setting
forth that he, the memorialist, is not enti-
tied TO arms or cannot prove his right to
such and praying that his grace the earl
marshal will issue his warrant to the kings
Of arms to confirm to him due and proper
armorial ensigns, to be borne according to
the laws of heraldry by him and his de-
scendants. This memorial is presented and

registered In the books Of the heralds' col
