The Story7
of
Quinine
THERE is a legend that the Per
uvian Indians knew of tire vir
tues of Cinchona bark as early as
1500. They drank the water in
which the bark of Cinchona trees
had by chance i>ccn steeped, and
found it a remedy for “agues and
fevers.”
It wasn’t until 1320, however,
that it was discovered what there
was in the bark that gave it its
remedial properties. Two French
pharmacists, Pelletier and Caven
tou, isolated quinine from the bark
— an epoch-making discovery of
far-reaching benefit to mankind.
Pharmacists have made many
such valuable contributions to
medical science, while giving time,
skill, and sympathetic cooperation
to the communities they serve.

A MISERABLE LIFE
is being led by those affected with blood and skin dis
eases. People with skin diseases who for years were
searching for relief from pains, torture and suffering
caused by skin diseases should immediately get a two
ounce box of the imported
VECHELDE ECZEMA SALVE
This salve is already in use for over 25 years and
achieved the best results. No exaggerated assertions are
made about it; it is, however, an established fact that
thousands of letters are coming in to us in which it is
gratefully related how the imported Vechelde Eczema
Salve did bring relief from suffering after all methods
did fail. Vechelde Eczema Salve is a wonder product;
its effect is so quiet, so smooth, the release from pains
takes place instantly, it is a blessing for sensitive skin.
For psors, barbers itch, open sores, dry and wet scales,
herpes, abscesses and all kinds of skin diseases, pimples,
insect bites, often a few applications are necessary to
get tid of the evil.
Five Years of Suffering—At Last Sweet Rest
»lrs. Rose Hunsi from Fresno, Cal., writes: “Your
salve has worked wonders. My daughter suffered from
eczema since childhood and all remedies from doctors
have failed* For 5 years the poor child had suffered. By
chance I learned about your salve and used it, and af
ter twelve days the eczema disappeared. Enclosed find
money order, for which you will please send me more
2 boxes.”
Vechelde Eczema Salve
is sold in 2 oz. boxes and cost $2.00 per box. C. O. D. $2.15
Beware of imitations. No Drug Store sell the salve.

{Alaska, that was so pleasingly
given by R. H. Sargent, of the U.
S. Geological Survey. He is fam
iliar with all sections of Alaska
• and had accumulated hundreds
of pictures representing' scenic
and industrial views of the Ter
ritory, . during his 22 summers in
the North. Many of these were
presented in colors and told about
in reminiscent style that held
the rapt attention of the large

Wonderment was expressed last
Wednesday b\ several Alaskans
as to just what was going to hap
pen to Alaska with regard to
aviation. The thought was prompt
ed after witnessing one of the
most spectacular landings possi
ble ever made. An autogiro or
“windmill” plane was brought
down in the presence of President
Hoover and aviation notables to
a perfect landing on a sloping bit j
of lawn surrounded by towering!
trees and the south, portico of
the White House.
The big machine was brought
to a stop on the downhill slope
after it had rolled less than ten
1 feet- The President declared the
! autogiro as “one of the outstand
ing improvements in heavier-than
air craft, while its ability to
arise and descend with safety al
! most vertically makes it a prac
I tical and decided step forward.”
