Historic
Facts

The old prescription book, used at
Carleton & Hovey's Drug Store in
Lowell, Mass, in 1855, is still carefully
preserved. On the page dated June 9,
1855, is written the original prescrip-
ton for Father Johns Medicine. This
prescription was compounded for the
Reverend Father John O'Brien at the
old drug store on that date, and was SO
successful in treating Father Johns
ailment, which was a severe cold and
throat trouble, that he recommended
the medicine to his friends and parish
toner's. In going to the drug store and
calling for the medicine, they always
asked for Father Johns Medicine, and
in this way the medicine got it's name
and was advertised. Father Johns
Medicine is a safe family remedy for
colds, coughs, throat troubles, and as
a tonic and body builder, because it
does not contain opium, morphine,
chloroform, and any other poisonous
drugs, or alcohol, but is all pure, whole
some, n~ourishing.

MADDEN, LONG LOST BROTHER

Martin B. Madden, congressman
from Chicago, is not only wealthy. He
Is also quite handsome. Nevertheless
he is not satisfied with his physical
makeup. He would be much better
pleased if he were built along more
original lines. The trouble with him is
that he looks like too many people. He
makes a speciality of being a ringer for
the long-lost brothers.
On an average of once a month he
gets a letter from someone who has
seen his picture and claims him as a
brother thought to have been lost at
sea OF strayed from home years and
years ago.
One day he heard from a woman,
who said she had a locket with an
IN" on it, and containing a boyhood
picture of her long-lost brother that
looked exactly like the one Of Madden
in a Chicago paper. Madden was
obliged to tell her that his congress
sional duties are too pressing to allow
him any time for being a long-lost bro
incident, and Mr.. Madden is getting sc

Surprise and concern were felt

noteworthy record, because he is the
man who demonstrated the possibili-
ties of the machine gun.

In short, Lieutenant Parker showed the military world for the first time

Long before the war with Spain Lieutenant Parker grasped the tactical
value Of the machine gun, and became 10 insstently a advocate of the
weapon that he talked about it upon every possible occasion.
He drew up plans for a suitable carriage, so that the machine gun,
ordinarily equipped with only a tripod, might have the fullest mobility and
keep right along with the most advanced troops.
So persistent vas Parker in riding his hobby that other army officers
thought him something If a borean INK sometimes avoided his company. But
his enthusiasm and theories have been fully justified, first by the work of his
machinegun detachment in the Spanish-Amercan war, and o vel more
fully. by the developments of the great conflict IN Europe.
