John Ellmore , a cobbler of Altoona , Pa. , says that he has discovered a
compound for burnIng ashes which will revolutionize the Industrial world. He
says that tests have demonstrated that ashes treated with the compoulld make
' fire hotter and at the same time cheaper than the fire produced by the
burning of coal. Should the new process prove practicable , It Is assec'ted ,
the price of fuel , especially ooal , will be reduced to but n fraction of Its pres.
ent cost. Another adv < 1ntage claimed for the new compound Is that It almost

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.
The modern patent medIcIne busIness -
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household rem dies.
In the early history of tbis country ,
EVERY FAMILY RAD ITS HObIE-
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teasl
bItters , 1l1X4tives and tonics , were to be
found in almost every house , compounded -
ed by the housewife , sgmetlmes assisted
by the apothecary or the famIly doctor.
Such remedIes as picra , which was
aloes and qunssia , dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes n hop tonic , made
of whIskey , bops and bitter barles. A
score or more of popular , home-made
remedies were thUG compounded , the
fonnulae for whIch were passed along
from house to house , sometimes written I
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole-
oorne , old-time custom. In the beginnIng -
nIng , some entel11rIsing doctor , impressed -
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home-made remedies , would ta1ce
it up , Improve it in many ways , manufacture -
facture it on n lLIrge sc.\le , advertise It
mainly through almanacs for the home ,
and thus it would become used over n
Jllrgearea. LATTERLY TIlE HOUSE-
HQID REMEDY DUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
PeruDa was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by tbe
Mennonites , of Pennsylvania , before it
was offered to the public for sale. Dr.
Hartman , THE ORIGINAL tOM.
POUNDER OF PERUNA , is ef Men.
nonite origin. First , he prescribed it
for bis neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased , anel at last he
established n manufactory and fur. ,
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in n great many <
cUmatic ailments , such as coughs , colds ,
Bore throat , bronchitis , and catarrhal
dIseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES 1IA VE LEARNED TilE
USE OF PERUNA and its value In the
treatment of these ailments. They
havs learned to trust and believe In
Dr. Hartman's judgment , and to rely
on Ws remedy , Peruna.
