The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth Of tho
sld.time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed ty the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary OF 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 barks. 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
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
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
AMORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before 1t
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 rs
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in 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.. Eartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Tenderly the clown lifted her from the ground,
and as tenderly tossed her to Denort. The rider
caught her in his arms, and at touch of his foot
the bridleless steed bounded away; and round

Sometimes poised like butterfly his shoulder
and sometimes with foot on his belt with arms
outstretched, her golden hair floating like mist
behind her, she swan around the arena seeming
as much the fgmant of day dream as veritabe

Breathlessy the spectators watched them and
breathlessly the rngmaster and clown, fear In

Conscious of, though not ashamed of his weakness

than his usual daring the sawdust. Poor
Petite File! For the wealth of the world the
clown would not have lifted her to Delnort had
he known; but it too late now, and with his
jests dead on his lips, in a narrower circle he
trudged around the ring, his eyes fastened on
the reckless rider and his precious burden, glad

And they had all been applauded, but not recalled,
too eager was the throng for Delnort.
At length the roll Of drums and loud staccato
music announced the artists coming There was
a moments pause; all eyes were turned toward
the entrance; the curtains fell apart, and the
next minute, mounted on his bridleless steed (al-
most famous himsef) bowing and waving
his hand to the expectant throng, stood the dis
tinguished equestrian. In moment he was on
the track, whirling around with breathless speed
before the applauding throng. What symmetry of
limb what strength what suppleness were his
what leaps, what strides, what poses! The Oldest
habitue of the circus had never seen the like. He
had not been overrated-he was the Denort of
fame who had won laurels in Paris and received
a medal in Berlini
After while the music died, his limbs relaxed,
he stopped his horse. new interest was to be
given the performance La Petite File" as the
bills announced her to divide the honors and
applause
Again the drums preluded an entrance; again

"a mot10n scarcely more
than the culver of a leaf
and the trained horse
was whirling riderless
around the ring and Del

lay in the dust. In a

the spectators that all
was right, that no one
was hurt, and the next,
his mount regained, was
absorbing the interest of
the spectators.

he motioned toward the
handsome house Just be-
yond the enclosure.
Without waiting for
consent, he turned to-
ward it, followed by two
surgeons who, among the
spectators, had witnessed
the disaster. This was
Col. Norton who had ta-

jurist in all that region,
known far and near for
his talent, and as far and

What If I could keep
her for my child" he
said as he pressed close
to his heart the little,
limp figure, and looked
down on the sweet, pale
face and thought of his
own little girl who years
ago had been taken from
him, to stronger, tender

returned with even great

signed his charge to his

HERE was a great crowd at the
circus that day. Every seat of
every tier was filled and much of
the standing room was being
utilized.
The opening performances were
over; the gaudy cavalcade had
made its rounds; the trained
ponies waltzed and the acrobats
thrown themselves through the
air in some wonderful leaps.
