of White Lead on the charcoal and is
the White Lead is pure il will present

ules of metallic lead. under the intense
heat OF the blow-pipe. leaving no
residue.
If, however. the White Lead Ia adul-
terated in the slightest degree. il will
not wholly change into lead SO. it
will be seen. that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical dem
onstration. hut also Of practical use in
the home. White Lead is the most i'm
portant ingredient of paint 1t should
be bought pure and unauthorized and
mixed with pure linseed oi! That is
the best paint. The above easy expert

the paint is the kind which will wear
or not.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is tho natural outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S 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 AZ picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or moro 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-timo 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 TIE HOUSE.

Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used oy the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public Cor sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men

for his neighbo. and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur

Peruna is useful in q great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TIE

treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
