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 TONES, 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 piera, 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 docSor, 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 q large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus il would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
bold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna wss originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
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 he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a 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.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

HURT LITTLE BY PANIC.
Railroads Net Income Larger in Last
Half of 1907 than 1906

Every indication points TO an i'm
provement generally in the railroad and
industrial situation of the country ac-
cording to reports made by the great
railway systems of America to the in
terstate commerce commission. These
reports are to the effect that, while
the railroads suffered to some extent
by what has come to be referred to as
the October panic the loss was by no
means so serious as generally has been
supposed.
1t appears from the reports that the
effect was felt particularly by the east
ern lines and by the lines in the south
eastern part of the country, while west
ern and transcontinental roads have
not suffered materially. The figures
available TO the interstate commerce
commission indicate also that the gen.
eral condition in the country is i'm
proving materially. with prospect
that it soon will be normal or better.
