There was a long advertisement of

Detector, and Prices Current, the
Only Journal of the Kind Issued in
the United States," published in

Probably the most remarkable ad-
vertisement was that of THE Hy-
geian Vegetable Medicines, of the
British College of Health, London,
invented by ]. Morrison, President of
that institution" A list of the won
derful things those medicines would
do made the writer want some right
away. Just see here what they would
cure:
Numerous certified cases of
Ague, Apoplexy, Asthma, Bilious
and nervous affections; Blindness;
Cancer; Cholera Morbus; Consump-
ton; Dropsy; Dysentery; Dyspepsia; ;
Epilepsy; Erysipelas; Intermittent,
Scarlet and Yellow fever; Fistula
Gout; Gravel; Inflammation, internal
and external; Itching of the skin,
and all cutaneous disorders; King S
Evil; Jaundice; Liver complaints;
Lumbago; Measles; Palsy; Piles
Pleurisy; Quinsy; Chronic and In
fiammatory Rheumatism; Rupture;
Scurvy; Salt Rheum; st. Vitus
Dance; Small PoX; Tic Doloreaux;
Whooping Cough; Worms, and in
short, every malady to which the hu-
man frame is liable. These medi-
cines, which are declared to be, "the
greatest discovery in the science of
Pharmacy ever produced" could be
safely and advantageously used by
both sexes at any age or period of
life,' and, just think Of it, they only
consisted 'of two sorts of Pills and
the vegetable cleansing Powder"
They were put up in packets, and a
box OF packets cost only $1.00.
Hand & Kirkland, in Honesdale, H.
w. Stone, in Mount Pleasant, and
Thomas Clarke, in Canaan Corners,
sold those medicines.
And just to think of it: That was
away JACK III 1908, WHen IOlKS lived
the simple life in the good old days.
1t really looks as if Inventor" Morri-
son was right on his job and was
actually going some. Too bad, isn't
it2 that all of those wonderful medi-
cines can no longer be obtained.
Perhaps, in some old neglected cup
board in Wayne county some of
them may yet be in existence. If so,
don't be too swift to take them,
whatever your ailment for they may
by this time have lost their virtue.
Right along side this wonderful
advertisement of those wonderful
pills and powder was the advertise
