The Evolution of
Household Remedies
The modern patent medicine buai-
ne*s is the natural outgrowth of the
oid 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, dissolved
in apple brandy.
Sometimes a hop
tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bit
ter barks. A score or more of popular,
home-made remedies were thus com
pounded, the formulae for which were
passed along from house to hoose,
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 the public for sale. Dr.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men-
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients. The
sale of it Increased, and at last he es
tablished a manufactory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many cli
matic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarihal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERNUA 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
his remedy, Peruna.

Police John Mooney was on the stand
in the grand jury room for two hours
today, and when he ieU it was an
nounced that be had not completed the
story of police corruption, but would
return tomorrow to finish the recital.
Mr. Mooney’s testimony was sensa
tional in the extreme. The burden of
it was that corruption of tiie blackest
kind exists in the department, and that
it exists by the sufferance and encour
agement of Chief of Police Dinan,
Mayor Schmitx, Abe Ruef and a cer
tain element in the lower eourts. Mr.
Mooney said that all bis efforts to purge
the town of undesirables were blocked
by the men in authority, whose duty it
was to aEsist.
Mr. Mooney cliaiged that resorts in
the new tenderloin were protected al
regular rates. With his assistance the
grand jury has been put in possession
of evidence which shows a depth of de
gradation almost unbelievable. It has
been shown that the mayor and Ruef
have been partners in seme of the most
nefarious enterprises launched in any
municipality.
