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
Led 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 q
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 il 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. 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
DIX Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on'his remedy, Perunn.

Hughes Not Hurt hx Rryan,

Mr.. Bryan does not appear to advan-
tage In assailing Governor Hughes for
his veto of the tw0-cent fare bill He
insinuates that this is evidence of the
governors strong leaning to the side Of
the corporations as against the people,
while as matter of fact II is nothing
of the kind. The two-cent fare bin
was vetoed simply because the s-ate
was adopting the policy Of railroad rate
regulation through commissions with
mandatory powers. 1t would have been
the height Of inconsistency to create
commissions to regulate fares and then
have the legislature itself and at the
same time assume the Junction.

WHY GERMANS FAVOR TAFT.
Believe Bryan Theories are Menace
to Business.

The German is, as a rule, good
business man. He believes in the gold
Standard-which Bryan does not he
believes In protection for American in.
dustry-which Bryan does not; he be-
lieves in expanding the money Of the
government for the benefit of all the
people, in the rural free delivery, the
irrigation Of arid lands, the preserva-
ton and utilization Of our forests, the
Improvement of agriculture ard other
great public services which Bryan, ac-
cording to the political platform which
he has subscribed. regards as "unneces-
sary and wasteful."
The prospect that Bryan would he
nominated drew bitter protests from
leading Germans and German newspa-
pers, including the newspaper con-
tro!!ed by Ridder, the present Demo-
cratic campaign treasurer, who de-
clared that he would never support the
advocate Of free silver and Reputation
and Of other vagaries offensive to the
sound Judgment and honest character
Of German.Americans. The fact that
Mr.. Ridder has seen ut TO change his
attitude toward the candidate whose
nomination be regarded rs equivalent
to defeat does not mean that there has
been any general desertion on the part
OF German-Americans from the prin-
ciples of sound money ard OF protetc-
tion for American industry. Citizens
of German origin, Democrats as wei! as
Republicans, throughout the United
States, are for Taft and the policies
which Taft represents.
The Germans common sense tells
him that Bryan Is menace to bust
ness; that his political schemes are
visionary and impracticable, and that
be depends for his only substantial sup
port upon a form Of class hatred tend
Ing to undermine and break down
American institutions.

Vague and pangerou. Theori.t

While sitting in Denver, watching the
convention, we jotted down the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan's best hope for election
lay in retiring to the bottom of the
Pacific and allowing not single bubble
to escape. Since that time be has
talked a great deal about the best way
of regulating trusts; he has made a
special slogan of the Oklahoma patent
medicine banking plan: he, the vision
ary has claimed to be heir to the prac-
teal Roosevelt he has been desper-
ately involved in an encounter with
that almost invincible politician: and
he has cast false aspersions on the In
tegrity of the governor of New York.
Too many bubbles have escaped. What
ever may be thought of the Presidents
taste. in the controversy between him
and Mr.. Bryan the country will. we
imagine feel the difference between
vague and dangerous theory upon the
one hand and shrewd, practical reform
upon the other between hesitating and
vacillating arguments and the heavy
battalions of establishment fact.-Col-

Publicity Under Suspicion.

The list of contributions of 500 and
more to the Democratic campaign fund,
published with so much ostentatiOn at
the request of Mr. Bryan, has no afIi-
davit attached to it. Neither Chairman
Mack nor Treasurer Ridder was sworn
nor, for the matter of that, ex-Treas-
urer Haskell, who turned in some col
lecticns before he was made to walk the
plans. Therefore the list may not be
complete, and as published it is cer-
tainly not compromising, unless the ST.

WHY the worker. support Taft.

1t Is noticed that a large majority
of the labor union leaders who are do
ing any talking in the campaign are
praising Mr., Taft and are promising
to vote for him. In all his addresses
to workers-and he has made many OF
them-Mr. Taft has made an excellent
impression. He is now travelling
through a region covering Ohio. West
Virginia and New Jersey, in which the
labor unions are particularly strong.
but everywhere he is meeting with a
very cordial greeting. He is getting so
many tributes from labor union chiefs
that the Democrats are resorting to
their old cry of bribery. st Louis

"Talk to the effect that the travelling

tommyrot," declared I. X. Travis Of
Kansas City in the lobby of the Loyal

per cent of the commercial travellers

expect. Practically all the men in our
line are Republicans in the first place
and believe in Republican principles.
In the second place, all Of them know
full well that they viii get precious few
orders if Bryan should win. This is
not so much because Mr. Bryan could
do any great harm himself. for he could
carry none Of his wild schemes into
effect but because business men are so
afraid Of him,

not afraid of the bank which has ample
resources, but they are afraid that their
fellow depositors will be afraid and SO
they hurry down to get in line.

out against him on the ground that he
is not "orthodoX." lie is Unitarian,

never sought to conceal the fact. He is
willing to lose the presidency If man

son, President Eliot and Everett Hale.
Professor James Of Harvard says that
orc needs only to worry about those be-
liefs which express themselves in ac-
lionS and we who know Mr.. Taft are
willing that he be judged by these. If
sincerity, faithfulness, purity of person

Prosperity for All.


Under the continuation of this Re-
publican policy, Mr. Taft as president,
this country will enjoy the highest de-
gree of prosperity. The interest Of
every leading aboring community re-
quires diversity of occupations, pur-
suits and objects Of industry. The
more that diversity is multiplied and
extended, the better. TO diversity en-
ployment Is to increase employment and
enhance wages. Where there is work
for the hands of men there will be
work for the teeth. Where there is
employment there will be bread. 1t
Is great blessing to the poor to have
cheap food, but greater than that prior
to that and of still higher value, is the
blessing of being able to buy food by
honest and respectable employment.

Regulations Of Law.

Regulations have been prepared by
the secretary of commerce and labor
for the guidance of officials and EN-
ployes in the government service, and
the necessary forms and blanks have
been prepared, printed and distributed
among the government offices through
out the country, where persons are en-
ployed who come under the provisions
of this act. According TO these rcgu-
lations, reports Of injuries must be
made by the official superior of the
emp!oye to the secretary of commerce
and labor not later than the second
day after the accident. Application for
compensation must I've made as soon as
possible after the first fifteen days of
disability. If the application is APP
proved the compensation will be paid
during disability, but for a period not
exceeding six months, at the end of
which period, the injured person must
make application for re-examination
by physician provided by the secre-
tary Of commerce and labor, and after
this examination has been made and
reported, a new approval by the sec
rotary for further payment Of cOmpen-
sation is necessary. This procedure is
demanded by section 8 Of the act. The
only other condition required is a pres
entation to the disbursing officer on
each pay day OF physicians certif-
cate as to the disability of the in
jured person, approved by the official
superior.
