PATENT MEDICINES.

Fashions change in patent medicines,
as in other things. Some have such
merit as to retain their place on drug
store shelves despite the advent of the
many newer remedies. Others drop
out of sight when advertising stops.
Preparations of no medicinal or other
value may attain a temporary success
through skiIlful advertising, but soon
perish. For fifty years or more the ad-
vertisements of j. G. Aver & Co. of
Lowell, Mass. have appeared in The
Republican Journal. One of their early
preparations was Ayers Cherry Pic.
toral, a cure for coughs, colds and'con-
sumption, with flavor like that of the
pit of plum stone. When the sarsa-
parilla craze was on Ayers Sarsaparilla
took and easily held the lead. At one
time Hoods Sa1saparilla pressed it
close in New England, but is now out
of the running. You hear much of the
Hood farm and the Hood Jerseys. but
nothing of the once widely advertised
remedies. At one time bitters had the
all. The leaders were perhaps Planta
ton Bitters and Hostetter's Bitters.
and the latter is still in existence. The
former was said to be simply rum and
molasses, and the principal ingredient
of the many-styled bitters was rum,
whisky or alcohol, variously favored.
H. I. Helmbold, New York druggist,
made large fortune with a prepara-
ton called Buchn; but lost it all in try
ing to create market for his Grape
Pills. Two patent medicines which for
many years have had large sales, and
are still in demand, originated in Maine
.-Johnson's Anodyne Liniment and
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. DR..
johnson of Bangor made a fortune out
Of the liniment, and Jeremiah Curtis
did the same with the soothing syrup.
The latter, native of Freedom, was
for many years in Bangor, later going
to New York, where some of his family
are now living. An old-time remedy
occasionally called for, and still to be
found in the drug stores, is Readings
Russia Salve. 1t was advertised in an
original way, as witness the following
verse:
The bullfrogs raised their tails on high
And bounded DER the plain!
A bumblebee went laundering by
And then came down the rain.
Chain lightning split a peasants nose,
And killed yearling calf,
Loud DER the thunders rose
A shout for Russia Salve!

HOW HER LIFE WAS SAVED WHEN

LINCOLN AND THE DEMon RUM.

1t might naturally be supposed that
the last Lincoln story had been told,
yet new and delightful one is always
cropping up, and apparently the pub
lie never tires of reading them.
"Lincoln's Rum Sweat" in the jan
uary McClure's, has some new and
amusing frst-hand stories by George
P. Floyd, proprietor of the Springfield
hotel where Lincoln stopped in 1858
while stamping" the State of Illinois.
The strain of speech making was great
and one night Lincoln was carried
home to the hotel in a state of collapse.
Mrs. Floyd proposed. rum sweat
after an old-fashioned formula.
"Weli," said Mr.. Lincoln on hearing
that the rum was to be applied exter-
nally, ''if you think it will do me any
good. just crack your whip and go ahead.
Any port in storm; and. tell you,
am almighty near overheard Mr..
Floyd tells how his wife went ahead
and the perspiring patient was finally
put to bed. "The next morning, to our
surprise, Mr.. Lincoln made his appear.
ance bright and early. We asked how
he was feeling. Why said he, i am
feeling like two-year-old. l can
jump a five-rail fence right now, 1
swanny! I've heard of folks drinking

the bottle for ailments, but l never yet
heard of driving the stuff through the
pores of the hide to get "a man full. If
Mrs. Floyd would only join US in this
campaign and prescribe for me, think
we could beat out Judge Douglas slick
and clean.'"
There are one or two characteristic
Lincoln stories in this sketch, which
closes with paragraph on Lincoln's
attitude toward to South:
Il have not suffered by the South,
he said: have suffered with the South.
Their pain has been my pain; their loss
has been my loss. What they have
gained l have gained"

aIolasses, Olive Oil and Anodyne Cures
the Worst Colds.
At this season of the year, when. a
cold on the lungs is SO liable to de-
velop into fatal pneumonia, it is worth
while to know of a simple prescription
that has been used successfully for
years in curing colds and preventing
pneumonia. Most of the ingredients
are in every home or can be obtained
at trifling cost.
Mix well together four tablespoons
full of molasses or honey and one table
spoonful each of olive oil and Anodyne.
At short intervals take teaspoonful
of the mixture, and also apply the
Anodyne externally on the throat and
chest.
Neuralgia Anodyne is a household
remedy that is invaluable in curing all
aches and pains, not only. of colds,
but neuralgia, headaches, rheumatism,
toothache, bruises, sprains, cuts, etc.

refund the money unless it gives salts

CONCERT BY MAENNERCHoR
Singing society VIII Give a Program
at Krug Park Thursday
Evening,

The last Maennerchor concert that will
ever take place in Krug park will be given on
Thursday evening. The concerts by this
veteran German singing society are always
interesting and entertaining, but the coming
one will be doubly so. for the reason that It
will be the first appearance with the
Maennerchor Of Miss Elizabeth Casteel, a
soprano soloist of high local reputation,
who has many ardent musical admirers
In this city. They nave interested many
people in the coming concert and while
the attendance at the Maennerehor concerts
is always large, the audience on Thursday
evening promises to be an unusually large
one.
The object of these concerts is most COM
mendable. The net profits will be applied
toward sending as large a delegation OF the
members as possible to La Crosse, Wis,
to attend the Seanger Festival of the United
Singers of the northwest, to be held in
that city July % to &c, and make their
best effort TO secure the next meeting for
Omaha. This means, II successful, the
bringing of several thousand visitors TO
this city. for several days.
