The Rev. Ernest will officiate and burial will be in Sunset Hill Cemetery. The Daily Register 35c a week accordingly and left it with me. In the bundle there was a complete sixty-year file of family almanacs that began with 1859. There were a few earlier numbers, one being for 1833.

At least one person was delighted. These almanacs are filled with assorted bits of information, misinformation and glib sales talk. Church days, festive days and other times to be observed are marked. In addition to the random information included there were many wise sayings, proverbs, quotations and oddities. There were many jokes, some so old they sounded new.

Phases of the moon and signs of the zodiac were recorded and timed. This information guided those with confirmed beliefs that crops should be planted under the right sign. It also was for those who feared to wean either their suckling livestock or their own babes when the sign was in the head or heart. These almanacs recorded the time of sunrise and sunset and gave daily weather forecasts. Strange to say these prophecies sometimes proved true, like hot days in July and August, cold ones for January and February and windy ones for March.

If one conceded the almanac its three days of variance, accuracy naturally increased. Hit or miss, weather forecasts were carefully noted and were good starting points for the ever-popular weather talk. Then the U. S. Weather Bureau came to spoil it all.

Another feature common to all of the almanacs was the grand manner in which they praised medicines and nostrums. There was no limitation on the sweeping claims made for remedies and appli ances. It definitely was the period of that is, let the buyer beware. They claimed to cure everything. Tuberculosis, then called consumption, was far more prevalent than now and so were the remedies.

Those contracting the scourge could find a cure in any one of several remedies. Three popular ones were Consumption Cure, Dr. New Discovery and Dr. Indian Cough Cure. After running afoul of the law here they were relabelled as in the United States, but called cures in England.

If kidneys were to blame for lack of health. Dr. Swamp Root was the specific. Dr. Favorite Prescription or his Golden Medical discovery cured almost any ailment.

As a guide to the layman, Dr. Pierce published Sense Medical Adviser in Plain that seemingly could convince the most healthy sceptics that their state of health was in bad way. Advertisers certainly tried to be helpful. One purveyor of a heart remedy did his part by listing plenty of symptoms. These included fluttering, palpitation, shortness of breath, tenderness, numbness or pain in the left side, arm or under the shoulder blade, fainting spells, dizziness, hungry or weak spells, spots before the eyes, sudden starting in sleep, dreams, nightmares, choking sensation in the throat, oppressed feeling in chest, cold hands or feet, painful to lie on left side, drowsiness, swelling of hands, feet or ankles, neuralgia around the heart.

Anyone having even a single one of the symptoms listed not delay treatment one Drops, a popular remedy, would cure rheuma- tism, gout, jaundice, stones, asthma, colds, rickets, and perhaps best of all, relieve melancholy. Catarrh came in varied forms. It might attack the kidneys. liver, stomach, lungs, or a combination of them. But, why worry? There were a good dozen surefire remedies.

The Seven Sutherland Sisters, whose combined length of hair totalled 36 feet, 10 inches, displayed their tresses and sold scalp cleaner, shampoo and hair tonics while travelling with circus. Ayers offered a competing line. and had their unfailing remedies. Some users of tonics perhaps were attracted by the high alcohol content rather than the promise of a cure and switched brands according to the potency of the solvent. There was indeed a variety of pills offered the ailing and their advertisement cried for space on barn walls, fences, rocks and roofs.

Then there was Pink Pills for Pale People. There were others not so widely known but perhaps as effective. Sarsaparilla was specific for most anything that could be wrong. Hood and Ayers offered their brands. Either tasted vile enough to cure almost anyone who could smell or taste.

White Star Liquor Cure, dropped in coffee without his knowledge, cured him of the whiskey habit. Likewise, N-To- Bac banished the taste for tobacco. Morphine, laudanum, opium and cocaine habits had their never failing harmless home remedies. Other patent medicines, magnetic belts, hair restorers, inhalers, hair removers, hair dyes, liniments for man or and a host of Indian Remedies, mostly of Kickapoo origin, were available to safeguard an health. The period from about 1850 to 1906 is described in a book as golden age of We sometimes wonder if that golden age has vanished.

Now it is cigarette filters, face lotions, soft and not so soft drinks, wave sets, wonder drugs, vitamins, razor blades, our endless other things. DR. W. D. TUTTLE spoke to the students Tuesday and Wednesday at the School of Practical Nursing of Southeastern Illinois College.

He used the subject: Pre-operative and Post-operative Nursing Care of the Patient. Dr. Tuttle said, must remember that patients are people. We should give the patient the kind of nursing care that you would like to be given if you were a Dr. Tuttle cited the improvement in anesthesia and surgical techniques that are utilized in practice of surgery.
