cases became irritated and angered
and made complaint to the wholesal-
ers and manufacturers. Thus the
trade was temporarily in an uproar

the report, that the increase In the
mulatto element does not necessarily
imply increasing admixture with the
whites. since the children born of mar

sons not full blooded negroes who
have some trace OF negro blood. The

In response to a great many quer-
les I wish to make public statement
concerning the sale of Pe-ru-na.
No, we are not selling as much
Pe-ru-na as we used to. The reason
for this is the change in the formula
Of Pe-ru-na.
The patent medicine business is
eery peculiar and particular. A per-
son who has been in the habit Of
taking patent medicine will notice
very quickly the slightest alteration

look as it used to, or smell as it used
to- or have exactly the same taste as
Il used to- II does not feel exactly
