The Evolution of
Household Remedies.
The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERT FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound-
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apotheoary or the family doctor.
Such remedies ai picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, home-made
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 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, manu-
facture 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 HOUSE-
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to tho public for sale. Dr.
Hortman, THE ORIGINAL COM-
POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men-
noaite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors a>d his patients.
The sale of it increase I, and at last he
established a manuiutory and fur-
nished it to the generui drug trade.
Peruna k useful in a great many
olimatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on hia remedy, Peruna.

Legislature and Temperance
Workera Witneaa Signing
GUTHRIE: Oklahoma now has th?
most unique and stringent liquor law
of any prohibition state. It is lncor<
porated in senate bill sixty-one. by
Uillups, which has passed both
branches of the legislature and be-
comes effective immediately. Tho
first two articles of the bill put tho
state into the liquor business fop
medical, mechanical and scientific
purposes, only, while the last articlo
throws the most rigid restriction
around the sale of intoxicating li-
quors.
The dispensary system is undei
control of a state agency superintend
•lent appoinnted by the governor, to
rfvtve a salary of (2,500 a year and
give bond for $25,000. As soon as ap
pointed and qualified the agency su
perintehdent shall procue some suit-
able building at the capital, now a>
Guthrie, wh£re shall be received,
kept, packed, sealed, labeled, num-
bered and shipped out, all liquors pur
chast'd or acquired for the use of the
state. The superintendent shall lay
in a three months' supply of liquor",
purchasing from the lowest bidder
and shall establish a standard quality
of goods purchased.
The state agent shall put up all
liquors in suitable packages or ves
sels of uniform size and full measure,
the maximum not to exceed one gal
Ion. Each package shall bear the of'
flcial seal of the agency so that th t
seal must be destroyed if opened.
Each package shall also be given a
serial number and a label reading aj
follows: "This package was sealed
and labeled at the siate agency, and
if sold for any different price than
that printed 011 this label, or if th<i
seal on this package be broken when
sold, the buyer or his assigns may,
on proof thereof, recover judgment
against the local agent selling th:
same on his official band, for the sum
of $100."
The seiling price is to b? marked
upon each package and to be com
puted by counting the cost of all li
quors purchased, to which shall bi
added the salaries, printing, freight,
spccia! taxes and all other necessary
expenses lawfully incurred and to th 1
casr .so computed shall bo added no
to excctd 50 per centum.
An agency for the sale of intoxicat
Ing liquors for lawful purposes in
each town of 2,000 or more popula
tion and in each county having n 1
such town of 2,000 population. Afte.'
December 1. 11*08, if the dispensary
articles of the law are ratified by
vote of the people at the next general
election there shall also be establish-
cd dispensaries in townB of 1,000 pop-
ulation and at any other places whero
th? governor and the state superin-
tendent may deem It necessary.

appointed by the governor at each
agency who shall be not less than 21
years old. who shall not have been
engaged in the liquor business for five
years prior to his apointment and
who shall not be a practicing physi-
cian. He shall give a bond of $1,000.
Local agents are to receive 10 per
cent of the cash receipts of their
agencies as compensation for their
services.
Each druggist must purchase his
liquor from the dispensary and must
give a bond of $1,000, conditioned that;
none of the liquor shall be used for
any other purpose than in compound-
ing or preserving medicines, the sale
of which would not subject hitu to
the payment of the special tax re-
quired of liquor dealers by t'ae fed-
eral governnfent.
Each druggist is only allowed tq
keep on hand eight gallons of alco-
hol and five gallons of other liquors
at any one time. Any Wolation of
this provision constitutes a misde-
meanor.
No sale of liquor shall be made by
a local agent except upon a sworn
statement of the applicant in writing
setting forth to whom and for what
purpose the liquor Is to be sold, the
statement to be accompanied by a
bona fide prescription from a licensed
physician which prescription shall not
be filled more than cnce. Any pers^u
who opens a package within the agen-
cy is guilty of a misdemeanor.
The superintendent may furnish ai
cohol for scientific purposes to : cl
enttfio institutions, universities, col-
leges or hespitils authorized to pur
chase the same free of tax under the
laws of the United States. Any agen<
who sells liquor for any other than
legal purpose shall be guilty of a
ony and subject to imprisonment foi
fr;>m one to seven years and In addl
tion liable upon his bond for $1,000.

NEURALGIA
The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one of U>e most common and pain-
ful ailments which afflict humanity.
As now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing Is to relieve the pain,
which Is done more quickly and satis-
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both tho
muscular and'nervous systems.

After Other Treatment Failed—Raw
Eczema on Baby's Face Had
Lasted Three Months—At Last
Doctor Found Cure.
"Our baby boy broke out with ec-
zema on his face when one month old.
One place on the side of his face the
size of a nlckcl was raw like beefsteak
' for three months, and he would cry
out when I bathed the parts that were
soro and broken out. I gave him
three months' treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end or that time the
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticnra. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle cf Cuticura Resolvent he was
well and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
lalf old and no eczema has reappeared.

The Spring Opening.
The dazzling creation of blrrts and

marked $15.
The circle of shoppers gazed in envy
but not one stirred.
Suddenly the clerk reversed the card
and displayed the figures $14.49.
Then there was a small riot. Shop-
pers fought like amazons to reach the
I counter.
"Ah," laughed the tall floorwalker,
"those ladies remind me of olden
knights."
"In what way?" asked the meel. man
who was waiting for his- wife to
emerge from the crush.
".Why, they fight at the drop of a
hat."
And before the meek man could ap-
preciate the point of the Joke his wife
?ame out minus a comb and two 'ocks
