The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth OF the
Old-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 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 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
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 it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
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
a mandatory and fur
lished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful ina great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
ore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
reatment of these ailments. They
ave learned to trust and believe in
,r. Rartman's judgment, and to rely
n his remedy, Peruna.

Free Consent of the Peop1e.

The pioneer American Democrat
was the Rev. Thomas Hooker of Con-
necticut, who, in a sermon in Hartford
In the year 1888, said, "The founda-
ton f all authority is firstly laid in
the free consent of the people," There,
in embryo, were the Revolution and
the great republic. In the "F'unda-
mental Orders of Connecticut" inspired
by Hooker and adopted at Hartford in
1888, we have the first written consti-
tuition known to history that created
a government. And that government
was as near perfect democracy as
the world has ever seen.-New York

By ]. Shirley Jones. Chemist. Idaho Experiment
Station. Moscow.
From time to time the members oil
the experiment station staff are asked
for information concerning the proper
ties, composition, and methods OF man.
ufacture Of Portland cement. These
inquiries are usually answered by the
station chemist. Below is given typi-
cal letter Of inquiry on this subject,
and following it is the reply given by
! the station chemist.
Weiser, Ida, Feb. 26, 1908.
l would like to know the ingredient
and process Of making Portland cement.
Is the body of clay or soapstone2 l
think have the raw material. Please
answer and oblige.-A. w.
A great deal Of time and labor have
been spent by various chemists In in
vestigating the composition and prop
critics of Portland cement. The con-
illusions drawn from these investiga-
tions are not Away concordant, but no
one dss0nts from the view that the
essential ingredients of this kind of &C.
ment are lime, silica and alumina.
Other elements are always present,
however, among them being magnesia,
soda, potash, iron, phosphorus, man
ganese, titanium, etc. According 10
Meade, good cements vary considerably
in composition, but the three import
ant ingredienst will run about as fol-
lows: Lime, 30 to 81 per cent; silica,
10 to % per cent; alumina, to 10 per
cent; and magnesia is allowable to the
extent Of to per cent.
The raw materials from which Port
land cement Is manufactured are CLASH
fed as srgillaceous and calcareous.
Some common forms Of the first are
clay, shale, and slate, and Of the latter
limestone, mari and chalk. In these
two classes of raw materials are found
all the Ingredients necessary in the
manufacture of Portland cement. In
the iron regions of Pennsylvania, how
ever, blast furnace Stag is made to re-
place the clay or shale. From what |
ever source the raw materials are OBJ. |
tanned, the cement manufacturer must |
zee that they are so mixed that the |
product Of calcination contains the i'm
portant compounds mentioned above in
the proportions that experience has
taught are the ones necessary in good
cement. 1t becomes almost imperative
then that the chemical composition OF
the raw materials should be known.
Although the writer is not personally
with the limestone regions
Of this state, 1t appears that there are
1t least two localities in Northern Ida
no where limestone is found in abund-
snce, and since clay is also present, at
east in spots, in the same district,
here seems to be good reason for be-
ieving that in the future great deal
II the Portland cement used in this
tate will be made at home.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its 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 its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
