The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness Is the natural outgrowth of the
Dld-tlme household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bltters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apotheoary 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 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 a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
hold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna 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. DR.,
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed il
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 great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THT
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe il
Or. Hartman's judgment, and to rel,

Gcphers, Sage Rats and Prairie Dogs
annually devastate our fields of growing
grain. Their number may be greatly
diminished by systematic warfare upon
them. Every female killed before the
young are born, reduces the number of
pests at least ten later on.
"Woodlark" Squirrel Poison is the most
reliable and destructive agent yet devised
for their determination. 1t is absolutely
certain in its action and every kernel is
warranted to kill. Climatic changes or
moisture of the earth do not destroy its
strength. 1t requires no mixing or prepa-
isalcn, and is always ready for use. No
O'her is so good. Dealers will refund the
purchase price, if not as claimed.

Oriqin of Easter.

What is the origin of Easter and
why is the egg associated with its
observance, is answered as follows:
The festival of the resurrection, like
many other Christian celebrations, is
successor to pagan festival that fell
about the same time of the year
Christmas supplanted the yule festi
val; Easter the festival of the god
dess of spring. In both cases the ides
OF renewal, of birth, was central. The
egg represents the principle of fer
tility; so, too, the rabbit, which alsC
figures in Easter symbolism.

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because it's component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect. acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get it's beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

New York, April 6.-Mrs. Alfred G.
Vanderbilt, who gave testimony be-
fore Referee David Mcclure in her
suit for divorce, will continue her
story today.
There has been much interest in the
case since the proceedings have been
started, on the fact that Mrs. Wander
bilt, when in this city, has made her
headquarters at the home of her hus-
bands mother, Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt.
While there have been many stories
to account for the younger Mrs. Van

motherin-law, the one most generally
accepted is that Alfred's mother is
making every effort to bring about an
amicable adjustment of the trouble.
