Show I The Evolution of Household Remedies, Ths modem patent hms ia the natural outgrowth of the medicine bui- - household remedies. In the early history of this eoustxy, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOMEMADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitten, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted ' by the apothecary or the family doctor, finch remedieo as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hope and bitter barks. A e : score or more of popular, : remedies were thus compounded, the : formulae for which were passed along ' from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholecustom. In the beginsome, ning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of e these remedies, would take it up, improve it ia many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a : large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD EEMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MOEE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC old-tim- e home-mad- . old-ti- - home-mad- - FORM. Peruna was originally one of these e remedies. It was used by the Memumites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the publio for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE OEIQINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory 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 catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PEEUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely n his remedy, Peruna. old-tim- Men-nonl- te SICK HEADACHE CARTER'S Ibm I J IT-- P TI alio were there lo bc!;i. to yield lo r mood that the thought of j brought me.
