NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be SO anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afflict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system. with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, 1mpoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
hrst thing Is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause. which
Is accomplished by the abundant use
OF nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.

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,
bitter, 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
1t up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the homo,
and thus it would become used over q
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
Or. Rartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
