The Evolution of Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine busi ness is the natural outgrowth of tho old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit ters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, com pounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the fam ily doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dis solved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of pop ular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed ulong from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ning some enterprising doctor, im pressed by the usefulness of one of these home - made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, ad vertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would be come used over a large area. LAT TERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mcnnonites, of Pennsylvania, be fore it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he pre scribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufac tory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis and ca tarrhal diseases generally. THOU SANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in thetreatnient of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman’s judg ment, and to rely on his remedy, Pe runa. Just Keep On. When today’s difficulties overshadow yesterday’s triumphs and obscure ths bright visions of tomorrow’s, when plans upset and whole years of effort seem to crystallize into a single hour of concentrated bitterness, when little annoyances eat into the mind very quickly and corrode the power to view things calmly, when the jolts of mis fortune threaten to jar loose the judg ment from its moorings, remember that in every business, in every ca reer, there are valleys to cross, as well as hills to scale; that every mountain range of hope is broken by chasms of discouragement, through which run torrent streams of despair!

Three Words in Death Notices Mean a Lot to Florists. “Please omit flowers.’’ Those three words added to an ob ituary notice deprive the florists of Chicago of about SIOO,OOO a year. Some of the larger establishments that cater to a fashionable trade are hit harder than the small concerns, but there is no florist in the city who does not feel the loss entailed by the three words quoted above. “There were about 30,000 deaths in Chicago last year.” said a MaS-ison street florist, “and at least one-tenth of the death notices printed informed friends to ‘please omit flowers.’ When some person of note dies and flowers are to be omited at the funeral the big florists are out all the way from $25 to SIOO each. Those who request that flowers be omitted are the very ones whose friends are well able to purchase floral tributes, and would otherwise do so. Many persons come to me in the course of a year to order a wreath or some floral design for a funeral, not knowing that the ‘please omit flowers’ has been pub lished with the death notice. All the florists in the city have the same ex perience, and I estimate that our losses In the year amount to $100,000.” —Chicago Record-Herald. "Stung!” R .R. Ritchie of the Chicago & Northwestern stood on the sidewalk admiring the big plate-glass window in his new office in the James Flood building. “Fine piece that! Gilt lettering on her cost me $250.00 “If she breaks you’ll go broke, Ritchie.” “Covered.” "With what? Market street dust?” “Plate glass insurance; just took it out.” "What the glass?” “No, the policy. I'm wise to every insurance wrinkle since last April's losses.” "Let’s see it.

Pinkham. Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand ap proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy- or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely- to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of im pending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizzi ness are promptly heeded by intel ligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected.
