!. volution OF
Household Remedies

rhe modern patent medicine pusi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
eld-time household remedies.
m the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
SADR MEDICINES. Herb teas,
S'ters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
sound 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 banks. 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, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
II up, improve Ii in many ways, manu-
facture It on large scale, advertise 1t
Ainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus It would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
!DLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
n 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 COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
uished 1t 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 aud believe in
Or. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

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


How many women--and men too
are suffering from q general decline In
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to checki How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are pOwerless to helpi Consumption

lowered vitality is unequal TO the task Of
fighting of the infection of these diseases
to which most Of rs are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms Indicating the decline
which may have results 90 fatal could
scarcely be better described than Tn the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of
80 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 q rush Of
blood to my forehead, just back Of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so I.
could hardly see and black spots fioated
before them. The least exertion brought

and was often sick to my stomach.

came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. Twas so thin that I weighed
only So pounds.
Zone day when mt the drug store to
get headache powders I decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. /
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me q.
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
100 pounds. / believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
rs they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never
been seriously ill since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of tho
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.

are taking does not cure yon. write for
