The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of TIE
old-tim household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit
tiers, laxatiyes and tonics, we're to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dissolved
in apple brandy Sometimes a hop
tonic, made OF whiskey. hops and Bit
ter barks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus COM
pounded, the formulate for which we're
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, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home made remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Pe1una was originally one of these
old time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before il
was offered to the public for sale. DIR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men.
monte origin. First, he prescribed il
for his neighbors and his patients. Tn,
sale of it increased, and at last he es
tablished mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrha
diseases generally. THOUSANDS Oh
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TIL
USE OF PERNUA and its value il

JAP COOLIES CREEP IN.
Go to San Francisco and Reshp to
British Columbia, Then
IheN slim Over Line.

Under the regulations covering the
entrance into this country of Japanese
laborers, there is no way of prevent
ing the Japanese from Honolulu trans
shipping at San Francisco for British
Columbia. 1t is evident from inquiries
that have been made by officials of this
government, that the Japanese, to
passports to Mexico or the Hawaiian
islands, have no intention Of remain
ing there. Their destination as the
laborers themselves have admitted on
discrimination, is the United States
Recently several hundred Japanese
laborers were Intercepted in Mexico
as to their intentions. Every one of
them said he expected sooner or
later to reach this country. Some of
them were in serious financial straits.
They were awainting opportunity to
get across the border into this cOun-
try. The same is true of Japanese
who are going to British Columbia.
There is no work for them there and
they expect to get into the United
States as soon as possible. The regu-
latiOns governing the exclusion of
Chinese laborers do not apply to the
Japanese laborer.
When Chinese are shipped in transit
through the United States to another
country, a photograph is taken Of each
individual and the railroad or steam
ship company carrying him is required
to give the government a bond to
prevent his escape. 1t is different with
the japanese. No photographs are
taken and no bonds are exacted from
the transportation company. If a jap
anese laborer escapes from the train
or steamship in transit, the govern
ment has no recourse. That many of
them do take advantage of the chance
offered them to get into this country
is known officially, but there is no
way under the regulations to prevent
them embracing the opportunity.
Commissioner Sargent declines to
discuss the subject, but it is known
that Secretary Straus of the depart
ment of commerce and labor is keep
ing In close touch with the situation.
Trouble is being experienced in han
ding the question, however, particu-
larly in relation to the Japanese i'm
migrants who are arriving from Mexi-
co. 1t is practically impossible to pre-
vent them from being smuggled across
the border and the government has
no means of Identifying them after
they reach this country. The question
is likely to become more serious in
the future.

AWFUL FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

Writing from the Russian famine

This is the worst famine Russia

this figure has not only been approved
