A · WATKINS STORE AT YOUR DOOR
The Story of
Watkins Products
S. HORTLY AFTER the close of the
Civil War, a Liniment was placed
upon the market which · became
widely known for its -remarkable abil­ity
to relieve aches and pains.
This Liniment was compounded and
bottled by a resident of Winona, Min­nesota,
Mr. J. R. Watkins, according
to his special formula which he had
developed.
Mr. Watkins at first supplied this
Liniment chiefly to his friends and
neighbors. Soon, however, these
friends began telling their friends
about it, and Mr. Watkins found the
demand for his Linment growing
greater day by day.
He was thus induced to abandon his
other pursuits and devote his entire_
time to making and suppl-ying "Wat­kins
Liniment./' In 1868--the same
year General Grant was ·elected Presi­dent
of the United States-Mr. Wat­kins
founded the business which to­day
bears his name.
-The start was small, but the prin­ciple
behind the business was sound,
and a substantial growth set in from
the very beginning. Mr. Watkins be­lieved
in quality before all else . . And
second only to quality came SERVICE
to his customers.
It was in the interest of service that
Mr. Watkins developed the plan of
selling, by wagon, from home to home.
Mr. Watkins was the originator orf
this method of selling.
He felt that this method would
mean a tremendous saving of time fo-r
his customers. He saw, moreover,
that it would enable them to buy his
product at the lowest possible price
because it eliminated the wholesaler's
profit and other extra expenses in­volved
in the usual method of distri­bution.
Throughout the more than half a
century that has passed siru!e the
founding of this business, we have
never deviated from the original prin­ciples
laid down by our revered found-
. er, J . R. Watkins. _New products have
been added from time to time but al­ways
before putting out a product we
have made SURE it was RIGHT. Wat­kins
quality MUST. be maintained.
That is why people have come to
have such great confidence in Watkins
Products. They-know they can depend
on any product bearing the name of
The J. R. W:~tkins Qompany. There
are more than twenty million ·satis­fied
users of Watkins Products to­day!
During these many years, Mr. Wat­kins'
ideal of service has been adhered
to rigidly. · Watkins service has not
only been MAINTAINED-it has been
BROADENED. Today there are about
MORE THAN 150 QUALITY PRODUCTS
• .,
BEST FOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS
6,000 Watkins Dealers supplying Wat­kins
Products to the home!
When ever we find a way in which
Watkins Service can be improved, we
are quick to adopt it. Today, for ex­ample
in addition to our headquarters
at Winona we maintain branches in
eleven different cities in the United
States and Canada. (See pages 48
and 49).
The Watkins Dealer obtains his
Watkins Products from a convenient
branch. Thus he is able to get quick
delivery, and he can always bring
fresh, new stocks of goods to your
home.
There is also another advantage in
these branches. Through maintaining
branches at important shipping points,
we are able to cut down the freight
cost on Watkins Products. This sav­'
in~ is passed along to you in lower
pr1ces.
There are more than 150 products in
the Watkins line today, embracing
cooking needs, toilet preparations,
home remedies, automobile tires and
accessories, stock and poultry prepara­tions,
and other products for home use.
These products are all described in
this book.
Study this book carefully. Be sure
you are familiar with ALL the Wat­kins
Products. A generous supply of
Watkins Products should always be
in your home.
When you buy Watkins Products
you buy SAFELY and Well. You
KNOW what you are getting. The
quality is there. The prices are right.
The value is unmistakable. You are
ASSURED of SAT I SF A C T I 0 N
always!
The J. R. Watkins Company has en­deavored
to place in the homes of peo­ple
everywhere, the highest quality
products. We have done this success­fully
for more than fifty years. Fur­thermore,
we have been very careful
in selecting men and women of the
highest moral and financial standing
to sell our products. We feel sure that
The Watkins Dealers, whether friends
or strangers, will accord you the serv­ice
that we demand and the courte­sies
and honest business dealings that
we have taught them to extend. Again
we say, WAIT FOR THE WATKINS
DEALER.

pertaining to beauty. We gladly offer Miss Taft's services without
cost. She will be glad to hear from you.

"It's the result that counts,"
and certainly this is true of
baked goods. Nothing is more
exasperating than a pan of bis­cuits
or cake that fails to raise.
Of course, there are many rea­sons
why baked foods don't al­ways
raise as you expect them
to, but it is safest to insure the
results of your work by using a
baking powder of known relia­bility.
Watkins Baking Powder is the
secret of many a good cook's en­viable
reputation. It is a pure
phosphate produc~contains ab­solutely
no alum or cream of
tartar. Watkins Baking Powder
is of uniform grade and strength.
It never fails you. Try it, and
your family will exclaim over
the fine, light cakes, muffins and
other food delights you make.
Mrs. Andrea, recognized as
one of the greatest authorities
on food preparations, personal­ly,
tested Watkins Baking
Powder and states that it is
satisfactory in all respects,
complies with all requisites re­quired
of a high standard bak­ing
powder and should be rec­ommended
to any one desirous
of obtaining a good, high grade

The Use of Beauty Aids
Throughout the ages of history,
from the more or less well-known
Garden of Eden, to the present day,
poets have sung of Beauty-beauty
principally exemplified by "lovely
woman." Surely every woman should
live up to expectations and be as
lovely as it is possible for her to be.
Especially has the woman of today
no excuse for being unlovely.. Nature
was not meant to be absolutely un­assisted
in a beauty way, otherwise all
of our present day aids to loveliness
and its preservation would never have
been discovered.
Few of us, indeed, grow into really
superlative beauties, but every woman
has her good points. In fact some of
them may be as yet undiscovered, but
they are there and should be empha­sized.
Make the most of your good
points, whether many or few; and the
bad points, if they cannot be correct­ed,
can at least be made to seem in­conspicuous.
Your good points should be guarded
as your very life, for on their care
and preservation will depend much of
your enjoyment of life. If, for in­stance,
you are gifted with lovely
hair, remember that the most certain
way to enhance its loveliness is to
keep it clean. One's "crowning glory"
-whether worn long or trigly bobbed
-remains a "glory" only when it is
shampooed well and frequently.
Your hair, whether or not it is one
of your good ;points, is bound to be
healthier, fluff1er, and more "fixible"
when it is clean. "Cleanliness first"
is also the rule for cultivating the
complexion. Plenty of water, and
pure, mild soap, are absolutely neces­sary,
as well as the various crealJI.'l
and lotions, each of which has its own
particular use.
Cosmetics were meant to be used as
an aid to nature. It is quite permis­sible
to "paint the lily" (especially if
she be a pale, drooping flower), but
let us endeavor to do it as artistically
as possible, remembering that we are
striving to assist, not caricature,
Nature!
Using Face Powder Effectively.
Garda Face Powder, when properly
used, is charm itself. Before apply­ing
the powder, rub into the skin a
bit of Garda Cream or Watkins Van­ishing
Cream tt> art. as a base for the
powder.
The secret of successhltly apJ>l;ing
powder lies in rubbing on with a
rotary movement, outward and up­ward,
with the grain of the skin. The
texture of the skin is like velvet, or
should be, and when a good powder
is applied in this way, the result is a
complexion having all the velvety

The
Story of Garda
F AR AWAY IN SUNNY ITALY lies a
beautiful lake whose waters, according to
legend, were at one time thought to be
perfumed. People said that in the fall when
the flowers disappeared, a princess named
Garda picked them, in full bloom, by moon­light,
and placed them in the waters of the
lake. Thus the lake was called Garda, and the
princess became a symbol of grace and beauty
in womanhood.
The Wonderful Garda

Garda Toilet Requisites, like the waters
from whi<:h they were named, are perfumed
with the essence of many flowers. Their fra­grance
is distinctive, new, entrancing! Wholly
different from anything you have known. De­lightful
and captivating. Sandalwood from
India; precious Olibanum from the Holy Land;
Sweet Lavender from Brittany; Ylang Ylang

from France-all these are combined in Garda
Products to give you this rare fragrance. To

Here indeed is the master
achievement of a master per ­fumer!
This wondrous new odor
is a bouquet of chosen fragran­ces

Delicious-irresistible!
Garda Toilet Water 1s popular

Garda fragrance is PxquisitP
smoothness of the fabric itself. The
natural color, the rosy tinting of the
cheeks, will be subtly evident like the
lovely rich tones that seem to spring
from beneath the sheen of the velvet.
Garda Face Powder carries with it
that faint, irresistible fragrance that
is characteristic of charm; it stays on
unusually lcng, and last of all, but
very important, it blends marvelously
with the skin, never being too evident.
Be particularly caroful in the selec­tion
of the tint that you are t~t use
in your face powder. If possible try
each variety of coloring to find out
which is the best suited to your par­ticular
complexion. Garda Face
Powder comes in four distinct tints:
Natural, Flesh, Brunette, and White.
The natural tint is suitable for more
skins, perhaps, than any other shading
of face powder. Some pale skins look
well with powder a bit darker than
the complexion, and plenty of rouge
to give richness and color. On the
other hand, some darker complexions
look best with a powder much lighter
in tone. For instance, brunette powder
looks well on a blue-eyed and black­haired
per son. So it is well to observe
that there oan be no bard and fast
tule applied to the selection of a face
powder tint.
For the Sun-Browned Outdoor Girl.
A tint wondrously rich and creamy
is obtainable where the famous Wat­kins
Brown-Skin Face Powder is used.
While this powder is particularly ad­visable
for those with complexions of
a decidedly brunette tone, it will im­part
tone and richness to milady of
the slightly pa1id or sallow skin. This
powder is endowed with a clinging
. fragrance, not too evident. It is
also particularly fine-grained, and de-cidedly
adhesive. .
The Proper Use of Rouge.
Garda Rouge is indispensable
Packed in a convenient little box and
furnished with its own particular
little puff, it is the utmost in rouge.
This cosmetic may be had in two
shades, medium and dark, and it is
well to choose the one which will do
the most to heighten the natural
coloring in the cheeks.
There are times when the system is
in especially good condition and Garda
Cream has been massaged into thp
skin bringing the natural color to the

Cleansing, purifying, soften­ing
to the skin is Garda Cream.
It contains an ingredient famed
throughout France for its heal­ing
and beautifying properties.
Garda Cream forms an ideal
base for Garda Face Powder. As
a night cream or massage it acts
as a tissue food-softens and
whitens the skin. Perfumed, of
course, with the distinctive Gar­da
fragrance.
Smart women the world over
know just when and where a
touch of rouge may be used to
advantage. Garda Rouge, in

perfectly and harmonizes beauti­fully.

quality of ingredients and the
exquisite Garda fragrance, form

advisable. But there are other v.mes,
and perhaps these are more frequent,
when you are tired and dispirited;
then a touch of rouge applied well up
on the cheeks and-very lightly-at
th~ outer corners of the eyelids, will
brmg a sparkle to the eyes and bright­en
u.p the whole countenance.
It IS absolute folly to criticise the
use of rouge. Every sensible man and
woman now understands that there is
no more harm in a touch of red
powder, or rouge, than there is in
white powder on a shiny nose. And
who can object to a dainty touch of
powder?
In the use of rouge, however, there
are three things on which particular
emphasis must be placed. First of all
when applying the rouge, rub it i~
well, with a rotary motion, upward
and outward, with the grain of the
skin. Your cheeks will have the glow
of perfect health. Second-tone down
the rouge with face powder to a rosy
pue that is natural and pleasing with
your <>wn particular cype of beauty.
Then, before retiring, remember to
cleanse the pores of the skin with
Garda . Cold Cream. Washing the

yegetable Oil Soap is also refresh­mg.

Personal Daintiness.
There can be no one quality in a
woman so admired, envied and desired
as tpersonal daintiness. And one of
the most certain ways of obtaining
and preserving that daintiness is the
care and cleanliness of milady's per­son.
Excessive perspiration is the
enemy of daintiness, and yet how

this annoyance. What they must add

harmless but effective preventativ~.

this need.

Powder may be used directly

and the damage, as well as the odor
of excessive perspiration of the arm­pits,
hands, feet, etc. If this powder
is used faithfully, and this means

Care of the Hands.
The hands are quick to show signs
of age. Have you not often seen
women that are otherwise youthful in
appearance, with hands that are
withered and old? The fact that the
hands are almost the first members
of the body to show age is easily ex­plainable
when we realize that we
wash the hands more frequently (and
usually with less care) than any other
part of the bo~y. Thus the natural
oils of the body are removed. More
creams and hand lotions should be
used, to supply the oils removed by
too frequent ablutions.
At night, bathe the hands in warm
(not hot) water with Watkins Veget­able
Oil Soap. Rinse in tepid water
to which you have adde'd some plain
uncooked oatmeal, or rolled oats. This
makes a soothing, milky liquid which
softens and whitens the skin. Then
rub in Watkins Cold Cream or Garda
Cream, especially around the knuckles,
at the wrists and tips of the fingers.
Apply the cream generously, and if
you have an old pair of loose gloves,
draw these on to protect the bed
linen. The gloves help to keep the
cream on the hands during the night,
and next morning the skin will be soft
and supple. Persist in this treatment
and you will be rewarded with smooth
white hands.
In the winter time, when your
hands chap easily, and you have them
in and out of water a great deal,
keep a bottle of Watkins Face Cream,

Watkins Cold
Cream
Every household should be sup­plied
with a pure cold cream of known
quality. It has many purposes, aside
from its beautifying effects. Cold
Cream is a skin preservative, cleans­ing
more deeply than mere soap and
water, and providing the oils which
prevent that dry, wrinkled look
of the complexion. Watkins Cold
Cream, wonderfully soothing and com­forting,
is also recommended for r:haf­ing
of the skin and irritation, for
chapped lips and hands and any raw
or tender surface. Excellent as a pre­ventive
of or relief from sunburn and
windburn.
Watkins Vanishing
Cream
The Vanishing Cream (so-called
because it is readily absorbed by the
skin and "vanishes" into the pores)
is one of the newer cosmetics which
women have hailed with genuine
enthusiasm. Watkins Vanishing
Cream is the ideal base for powder;
in fact, face powder should always
be applied over vanishing cream to
give the proper velvet tone to the
skin. This cream is delightfully
cool to the touch and leaves not the
least trace of stickiness or "shine,"
as it is absolutely greaseless. You
will be surprised at the soft fresh­ness
of your skin after application
of this really magical cream.

wonderfully effective.

fine for chapped hands and

always handy; it is useful
at all seasons of the year.
Cosmetic Lotion, or Wistaria c.~eam
(all liquid lotions) in the kitchen,
and use several times a day. Just
a few drops on the palm of the
band, then rubbed in well all over
the band, will prevent cha,~.>ping. Es­pecially
after washing dishes you
should use a liquid cream on the
bands.
Then, too, it is essential to protect
the hands when going out. For this
purpose, apply Watkins Wistaria
Cream, or if you prefer it, Watkins
Cosmetic Lotion. The latter is es­pecially
good after exposure to the
elements, and quickly gives relief to
chapped hands, face or lips. Watkins
Wistaria Cream is especially pleasant
to use (really refreshing, in fact)
and it has the very desirable effP.ct
of whitening and softening the skin.
Not only the bands, but the ar:ns
and shoulders, too, should come in
for a share of this treatment, at
least occasionally. Of course, mila,,y
does not want her bands and arnts

trasts: the bands white, soft and «1-

reddened and rough. So, perh1 ps
every other day or so, apply Y< •ur
cold cream to the arms and should­ers.
The elbows, too, need frequent
applications of cold cream.
Then when the occasion presen~s
itself and milady's charming party
frock is donned, she will not be un­comfortably
conscious of hands, arms
or shoulders. Certainly nothing is so
conducive to naturalness and charm
as the consciousness that one's ap­pearance
is impossible to criticise.
And having the skin in a good con­dition
is really half the battle.
Care of the Nails.
Every woman should try to give
at least an hour a week to the care
of her nails. Surely this isn't too
much time when one considers how
long and unceasingly we use our
hands every day. Manicure the nails
carefully once a week, and give them
five minutes attention every day­filing
if necessary, pushing back the
cuticle, cleaning under the nails, and
polishing off with the buffer or a
piece of chamois skin.

her own nails and will be able to do

daughters in the family, Mother and

The nails, as well as other parts of
the body, need oil, else they will be­come
brittle and break. Soak the
nails in warm olive oil, if they are
extremely brittle, and rub in Wat­kins
Cold Cream or Watkins Garda

Garda Nail Polish will help you
to keep your nails looking healthy,

twice a week-always after you

days, rubbing the nails on the palm
of the hands will bring up the beau­tiful

a pleasing polish-it is considered
rather poor taste to have one's fin­ger
tips decorated with too brilliant
a glow.
Making the Most of Your Hair.
Perhaps milady is gifted with hair
that is veritably a "crown of glory,"
and then again she may not be so
fortunate. In either case she must
remember that it is cleanliness that
counts. The frequent shampoo is a
prime factor in the care of the hair.
Once a month is not too often to
launder one's tresses. Heads of light
colored hair should be washed even
more frequently (every two or three
weeks). Then, too, there is no single
item of beauty culture like a good,
energetic shampoo for making one
feel "like a new woman."
This invigorating feeling is probab­ly
due to the scalp massage which
all of us include more or less in our
shampoos. The feeling of newness
afterwards is in direct proportion to
the amount of scalp massage which
we include in the operation. It is
not necessary to rub so vigorously
as to give oneself a headache. Start
the massage with the thumbs placed
together at the back of the head,
then massage the scalp gently be­tween
the two first fingers. Massage
the entire scalp in this fashion and
notice how "tingly" clean your head
feels. Blood circulation is stimulat­ed,
and thus the hair growth is pro­moted.
This massage treatment is
invaluable with milady's shampoo,

but a bit of skillful rubbing any time
when the scalp feels tight and tired
is really quite beneficial. Be sure
to use the soft tips of your fingers.
Soaps, some of them, are much too
strong for use in washing the hair.
One should secure a really good de­pendable
shampoo. And that just
describes Watkins Cocoanut Oil
Shampoo. It is highly beneficial be­cause
it is a scalp cleanser and in­vigorator;
it works easily and quick­ly
into a rich, creamy lather; and
finally it rinses off readily in clear
water. Watkins Cocoanut Oil Sham­poo
should be applied after the hair
has been moistened with water. Use
only a small quantity at a time (one
to three teaspoonfuls is ample) and
rub well into the scalp until a rich,
creamy lather is formed. Rinse off
in warm water, twice, and finish with
a dash of cold water to close the
pores of the scalp and prevent tak­ing'
cold.
To Correct a Double Chin.
To avoid a double chin, massage
with Watkins Cold Cream or Wat­kins
Garda Cream, from the base of
the throat to the chin, and on either
side as far back as the ear. Always
use an upward stroke, lifting the
flesh up and back. Wipe off the sur­plus
cream and apply Garda Toilet
Water as an astringent. This cuts
the grease occasioned by the use of
the cream, closes the pores, and has
a tendenoy to whiten the skin.
Toilet Water as an Astringent.
Toilet water may be used as an
astringent whenever cold cream is
used in massaging the skin.
Benefits of Massage for a Wrinkled
Neck.
A thin, wrinkled throat is a most
unlovely condition, and one that is not
easily remedied. Wrinkles are caused
by removal of the natural oils of the
skin. The fat being removed from
under it, the dry skin falls in folds
and thus the wrinkles are formed.
The responsibility for this condition
may lie in the use of the wrong kind
of soap, hard water, or perhaps some
·condition of the individual's system.
Whatever the cause, the remedy is
the same, and it has been proven
equally effective in every case when
faithfully carried out. Proper mas­sage
with a_good, reliable cold cream,
such as Watkins Cold Cream or
Garda Cream should be the watch-
"How perfectly it blends,"
you'll say when you try Watkins
Complexion Powder. If you like
a face powder that tones into
the skin without that noticeable
unnatural • whiteness which re­sults
from the use of some pow­ders,
you'll be delighted with
this Watkins beauty aid.

A Busy ·woman's Formula for a
Quick "Revival" of Energy.
When you are tired and the face
feels as if it were sagging, take a
basin of warm water and about three
tablespoonfuls of Watkins Toilet
Water; Rose or Lilac is particularly
good. Apply on face, hands, neck,
and throat. Pat dry quickly and then
dip little pieces of cotton batting in
the toilet water and lay them on the
closed eyelids, and rest quietly for
five minutes, lying perfectly flat on
the flat of the back. After the five
minute interval, apply a little Wat­kins
Vanishing Cream, or Watkins
Wistaria Cream, if you prefer it;
then a slight dusting of Watkins
Face Powder, and a touch of Garda
Rouge and you will find yourself
quite revivified.
This formula is the practice of a
woman of forty-five who is at the
head of one of the "'<ro-<•<=1: business
enterprises in New York. She has
been doing it for fifteen years-some­times
once a day, sometimes in the
middle of a busy afternoon's heaviest
pressure of work. She remarked
once, that when she first started it
she was drawing twenty-five dollars
a week and when she couldn't find
any place to do her relaxing she
would stretch out for five minutes
on the floor of the rest room in' the
big office building where she worked.
Now drawing a salary of thirty
thousand dollars a year, she has her
own private restroom where she may
retire for five minutes, but the re­sult
she gets is just the same.

Hints on the Use of Talcum Powder.
Talcum is wonderfully refreshing
in any of the various fragrances
manufactured by Watkins. The Garda
Talcum Powder is noted for its es­pecial
fineness, having nearly the
smoothness of a face powder.
Talcum should always be dusted
over the body after a bath. In Turkish
bath establishments, people who are
burdened with too much fat, are
massaged with talcum powder in­stead
of oils which, of course, are
conducive to fat. After a warm bath,
the talcum rub tends to reduce the
flesh.
A little talcum powder sprinkled
on the hair brush and drawn through
the hair will fluff it up attractively
if you haven't time for a shampoo.
Talcu·.""\ powder is indispensable for
baby's use. All the tender little
folds and creases in the soft flesh
should be dusted with Watkins Tal­cum
Powder. Talc will also relieve
prickly heat and other skin irrita­tions.
It is especially soothing and
cooling to baby's skin in the hot
Summer months. Use it freely.
The Roman Beauty Bath.
One of the most wonderful and
high priced baths that is given in
the leading beauty parlors of London
and Paris is the Roman Beauty Bath.
You may give yourself the equivalent
in your own home for a very trifling
expenditure, and there is little needed
in the way of equipment.
First, lather the body with Wat­kins
Vegetable Oil Soap and warm
water, sponge off quickly and dry.
Then take some Garda Cream and
rub thoroughly every portion of the
body, giving a liberal allowance of
the Cream to the backs of the
knees, the feet and ankles, elbows,
shoulders, and throat,
Having thoroughly rubbed every
part of the body with the cream,
wrap up in a ::sneet and rest for half
an hour. At the end of that time
vou will find that most of the
Cream has been absorbed by the
skin, which is in a delightfully soft,
relaxed condition. A quick sponge­off
with one of the refreshing Wat­kins
toilet waters, diluted with clear
water, tones up the skin, closes the
pores, and leaves one with a won­drous
feeling of exhilaration.

Use of Vanishing Cream.
The descriptive paragraph which
accompanies the illustration of Wat­kins
Vanishing Cream (on page 2.6)
tells what Vanishing Cream is and
gives general suggestions for its use.
Watkins Vanishing Cream is es­pecially
good to use when milady is
going to a dance, and wants her skin
to stay white and smooth and
powdered all evening long. A light
coating of Watkins Vanishing Cream,
before applying the powder, acts as
a base for the powder and holds it
on. Vanishing Cream should also be
used on the hands and arms and on
the throat, before powdering, when
you are wearing short-sleeved and
low-neck dresses.
A little Watkins Vanishing Cream
rubbed into the hands helps to make
kid gloves slip on quickly, and takes
away rough, prickly fingertips that
often catch on embroidery silk when
r,ou are sewing. As the cream
'vanishes" or disappears into thi
skin immediately, it never leaves a
greasy surface.
There is no better protective cream
for the skin than Watkins Vanishing
Cream. If you freckle easily, start
early in the season-when March
winds begin to blow-and rub a little
cream over your face, dusting with
talcum, before you start off on a long
automobile ride. This is the "ounce
of prevention" method that seldom
fails to work.
And when working in the garden,
don't despise the lowly sunbonnet.
Use the protective touch of vanish­ing
cream and wear at least a broad
brimmed hat. The sunhat or garden
hat is not old-fashioned or out of
date~ In the smart city shops they
bring fabulous prices for country­home
wear. You can make yourself
an attractive garden hat out of an
inexpensive straw shape (perhaos
from the five and ten cent store)
and some craJIS of cretonne.

Special Uses for Toilet Water

waters and perfumes lies in the fact
that the perfumes have .a greater

waters, on the qther hand, are not
so highly concentrated. They are
refreshing, may be used oftener, and
in less sparing quantities. A few
drops of perfume sprinkled on a bit
of cotton and placed in milady's ker­chief
box will keep all of her hand­kerchiefs
sweetly fragrant. It takes
the place of sachet powder. A deli­cate
suggestion of the scent which
comes from the discreet use of toilet
water on the person and in clothing,
is decidedly pleasing. But the fra­grance
should always be delicate-­elusive,

In ayzy case of illness or injury of
serious character it will be wise to call
a doctor. However, a great many
ailments or injuries can be treated by
the use of standard medi~i n es, such
as are prepared and sold by The J .
R. Watkins Company. In the follow­ing
pages will be found suggestions
and information that will prove valu­able
to many f amilies and, perhaps,
save large bills for doctors' fees, or
serious illness or inconvenience.
Abscess. Abscess may result from an
lnjury but generally indicates an im­poverished
condition of the blood.
Often has to be lanced and drained of
puss. Take Watkins Blood and Skin
Alterative Tonic to tone up the sys­tem.
Acne. This pustular affection of
the skin should have prompt treatment
with Watkins Blood and Skin Altera­tive
Tonic. Exercise freely out door
eat plain, nutritious food.
Affections of the Bowels. (See D -
arrhoea and other diseases which come
under this heading.) If the trouble
cannot be definitely located take Wat­kins
Lax-Tone according to directions
and follow with Watkins After Dinner
Tablets, when relief will generally fol­low.
For an acute attack take Wat­kins
Liniment according to directions.
Ague. (Fever and Ague.) There
is a variety of names for this ailment

because there is always an intermis­sion
or period during which the pa­tient
feels comparatively comfortable.
The chills and fever follow one an­other
alternatelyJ The diet should be
largely vegetable. Avoid fat foods,
salt meats and fish. Watkins Liniment
taken internally according to direc­tions
stands high as an ague remedy
and if taken when a chill starts will
generally assist in checking it.
Asthma. This very obstinate affec­tion
can generally be greatly relieved
by taking Watkins Liniment every
hour. A course of treatment for the
blood with Watkins Blood and Skin
Alterative Tonic will be found most
beneficial in toning up the system and
hastening relief.
Backache. Rub well and often with
Watkins Liniment, or Watkins cream
of Camphor. If the trouble arises
from the kidneys, take Watkins Back­ache
and Bladder Pills. (See Kidney
Disease.)
Bad Breath. This offensive disease
is usually caused by failure of the
organs to digest food properly. Wat­kins
Digestive Tablets aid digestion.

A Few Words On Being
Prepared.
In matters of health, there is no
question about the value of being
prepared for what may come. At the
first sign of a cold or an ache----or
when you are just "not feeling well"­that
is the time to nip further trouble
in the bud, for these minor ailments
often lead to serious results.
People are coming to realize more
and more every day that prompt atten­.
ion to these warning signals is the safe
course to follow. That is why today
more homes than ever make it a prac­tice
to keep Watkins Home Remedies
always on hand.
When you have Watkins Remedies
in your home you are always prepared.
Whether it be a cold, a headache or
constipation; whether it be rheuma­tism,
lumbago--almost any ordinary
ailment-you need only go to your
shelf and find the proper Watkins
Remedy. Watkins Remedies also sup­ply
first aid for cuts, burns, sprains-tion.
Watkins Tooth Brushes are the
best on the market.
Bearing Down Pains. (See Female
Complaints.)
Bed Wetting. (See Incontinence of
Urine.)
Belching. Indicates gases on the
stomach caused by indigestion. Take
Watkins Digestive Tablets and fol­low
with Watkins Lax-Tone or Wat­kins
Laxative Wafers to keep the
bowels open.
Bilious Fever. There is a bad taste
in the mouth; the tongue is heavily
coated and the patient frequently suf­fers
from headache and has a slight
fever. Watkins Lax-Tone may be
taken freely to open the bowels and
tone up the action of the stomach and
for injuries small and large which are
so apt to occur at any moment of the
day.
Surely, this is the sensible plan to
follow. It is the economical plan, too.
"A stitch in time saves nine"-this
old-time saying applies with double
force in matters of health. Watkins
Remedies have been standbys for more
than fifty years. Their quality and
effectiveness are unquestioned. They
are pure. They are wholesome. They
are reliable.

is the safe way. Remember, it is

liver. Watkins Laxative Wafers are
also good. For further treatment see
Fevers.
Biliousness. (See Headache, Diar­rhoea,
Constipation and Jaundice.) If
the attack is just coming on, Watkins
After Dinner Tablets can generally be
relied upon to afford relief. A few
doses of Watkins Lax-Tone or Wat­kins
Laxative Wafers may also be
found beneficial. The diet should be
light and outdoor exercise will be
helpful.
Bites of Snakes. Expose the wound
and bandage tightly above to stop cir­culation

a sharp knife, cutting outward and

Bites of Dogs, Cats, Etc. Cleanse
thoroughly with soap or a solution of
Watkins Dip, then bathe freely with
Watkins Liniment and bandage with
Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve. If the
animal is sick, treat same as snake

Bites and Stings of Insects. Wat­kins
Liniment will give relief. If this
is not in the house apply a drop of
ammonia to the bite, which is all that
will generally be required. Sliced
fresh onion, baking soda, or salt
water applied to the stings will give
relief. Watkins Menthol-Camphor
Ointment is fine for keeping down
swelling, burning and itching of mos­quito
bites.

for all affections of the
stomach and bowels. Your Dealer
will grant a free trial of either of
these great remedies to any new cus­tomer.
Don't take our word but give
them a trial.·
Bright's Disease. Cannot be cured
when it has become chronic. Watkins
Diuretic Tablets will generally give
relief. Begin their use as soon as any
irregularity of the kidneys' action is
noticed and thus avoid more serious
trouble.
Bronchitis. (Cold in the Chest) Is
an inflammation of the mucous lin­ing
of the bronchial tubes. It starts
with a bad cold in the head, followed
shortly by a burning sensation be­neath
the breast bone. Breathing is
hurried and oppressed, often accom­panied
by wheezing and whistling
sounds. The throat is sore.' the voice
hoarse and there is usually a dry,
bard cough. The fever is high and
pulse rapid. Watkins Laxative Pine
Tar Cough Balsam will generally
check further development of the dis­ease
and its prompt and efficient
action will tend to prevent the disease
from developing mto either chronic
bronchitis or pneutn()nia. Watkins

Bruises. Rub the "i\fl'ected parts
thoroughly with Watkins Pain-Oleum
for several minutes then wrap up
with flannel cloths. Watkins Lini­ment
and Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve
will generally give satisfactory re­sults.
Bunions. Apply Watkins Corn
Salve. Protect from pressure or fric­tion.
Burns and Scalds. First of all ex­clude
air. Watkins Petro-Carbo
Salve covering every portion of the
burn, and a bandage applied will re­lieve
the pain; or saturate a flannel
cloth with Watkins Pain-Oleum, or
Watkins Liniment and appey to burn­ed
parts frequently. If the burn is
very extensive so as to penetrate the
muscular tissues of the body, a phy­sician
should be sent for.
Caked Breasts.-Apply Watkins
Liniment. See inflammafion of Breast.
Carbuncles. These differ consider­ably
from boils and generally indicate
BUY IT FROM
a run-down condition of the system.
The body is apt to absorb pus and
thus the poison is carried through the
system. When carbuncles occur on
the neck, near the spine or on the
scalp, they are not only painful but
really dangerous. A carbuncle has a
larger surface than a boil and does
not ripen to a single head, but when
mature develops three or more open­ings
that discharge pus. Treatment:
A poultice is the best method of home
treatment until the openings appear.
Then cover with a clean, soft cloth
so as to keep the sore warm. No
other coverings are necessary at this
time. Patient should at once begin a
system of blood treatment and for
this Watkins Blood and Skin Altera­tive
Tonic will be found a good puri­fier
and tonic.
Catarrh. A very common disease
frequently ca~sed by allowing colds
to run along indefinitely, when the
disease becomes chronic. When this
stage is reached, relief will require
some time. The spring and summer
is the best time to begin a treatment.
Use Watkins Blood and Skin Altera­tive
Tonic, or Watkins Gen-De-Can­Dra
as directed and before the suc­ceeding
fall and winter a change will
have generally resulted. If the head
is very much stuffed up, relief can be
secured by using Watkins Catarrh
Medicine or Watkins Menthol-Cam­phor
Ointment which are perfectly
harmless and very soothing to the
inflamed membranes.
Catarrh of the Bladder. An inflam­mation
of the mucous membrane lin­ing
of the bladder. It causes painful
passage of the urine, incontinence or
retention of the urine and leads to
diabetes and more serious troubles.
Watkins Backache and Bladder Pills
are recommended as a safe, efficient
and economical remedy.
Chafing. Watkins Talcum Powder
will give relief. If the chafing has
been neglected unti·l the skin is very
raw, first apply Watkins Petro-Carbo
Salve or Watkins Fragrant Pomade.
Change of Life. Watkins Female
Tonic offers a safe refuge for this
most trying period of womanhood. Its
use will greatly lessen the severity
of symptoms, and in the great ma­jority
of cases no other remedies will
be required. A woman who has

Attacks of dizziness are frequent and
nose bleeding and spitting of blood
take the place of the menses. The
complexion turns sallow and the heart
beats irregularly and the entire body
at times suffers from hot flushes. In
very severe cases it will be well to
call in a physician, but first try Wat­kins

Chapped Face and Lips. If the
hands and :face are chapped apply hot
cloths until the soreness is removed,
when nearly dry apply Watkins Men­thol-
Camphor Ointment. Watkins
Cosmetic Lotion, Watkins Wistaria
CreaJll, and Watkins Cold Cream will
clear the skin quickly, leaving it soft
and delicate.
Chilhlains. Usually result from go­ing
near fire or into a warm room
after some part of the body has been
frostbitten. Watkins Pain-Oleum
or Cream of Camphor used the same
as for bruises will give relief.
Chills and Fever. (See Ague.) Give
Watkins Liniment.
Chicken Pox.-A contagious chil­dren•
s disease and seldom severe and
rare in adults. .Red pimples which
turn into blisters are characteristic.
Children should be kept in until the
pimples or blisters have disappeared
and should not be allowed to scratch
themselves. Watkins Petro-Carbo
Salve, Menthol-Camphor Ointment or
Talcum Powder can be applied to re­lieve
the itching. Bathing with a so­lution
of a teaspoonful of baking soda
in a pint of tepid water als() gives re­lief.
Diet should be light and nutri­tious.
Cholera Inf·anturn. Follow the s;1me
course of treatment as for cholera
morbus omitting the salt foot bath
which cannot be given to a baby very
conveniently. The bowels should be
washed out thoroughly to remove all
poisonous matter. If improvement
does not follow, then prompt atten­tion
of a physician should be secured.
Cholera. (Cholera Morbus.) An
affection of the bowels usually brought
on by using too much unripe fruit,
indigestible food, spoiled or moldy
provisions or by drinking too freely of
Ice water while perspiring. Attacks
occur more frequently in bot weather
and when there is a diseased condition
of the liver. There is always consid­erable
pain with cramps of the stom­ach
and bowels, cold perspiration fol­lows
the occasional cramps in the
limbs. Bathe the feet in salt water
as hot as the patient can stand and
bind the stomach with hot flannel
cloths saturated with Watkins Lini­ment

according to directions. The diet
should be light and nutritious for
several days.

bed at night, take a teaspoonful of
Watkins Liniment, sweetened to the
taste, in half cup of water as hot as
possible. A heavy sweat will follow
and you must be careful not to get
uncovered. For those who prefer a
remedy in dry form we cannot too
highly recommend Watkins Laxative
Cold and Grip Tablets. As their name
implies, these tablets are especially
made for this purpose and they are
wonderfully effective and perfectly
safe. Watkins Catarrh Medicine or

Colic. Watkins Liniment taken in­ternally
has proven a great remedy.
If caused by a cold, Watkins Laxative
Pine Tar Cough Balsam will cause the
impurities to pass off in a natural

stomach take Watkins Digestive Tab­lets
and Watkins Lax-Tone. If a child
screams suddenly, draws up its limbs
and writhes it probably has colic. Im­mediate

plenty of water, one or two glasses on
arising always. Women often suffer
from constipation because of female
trouble. (See Female Complaint.)
Consumption (Tul:jerculosis.) If
the disease is suspected call a physi­cian
at once and follow out his treat­ment.
Persons who have a predis­position
to this disease can, by taking
:(>roper care of themselves, overcome
this tendency and attain strong physi­cal
health. They should above all else
have fresh air in abundance at all
times and live out doors if possible,
even to the extent of sleepin~ out
doors. Remember that consumptiOn is
an infectious disease; exerc1se the
greatest care that no sputum (spit) is
allowed to fall where it can dry. Use
cloths and burn them.
Convulsions of Infants. (Spasms.)
The cause is generally to be found in
undigested food in the stomach or
worms. Fright or excessive punish­ment
may cause them. Undress the
child at once and wrap in blankets
wrung out of hot water, or, if conven­ient
put the child in a tub of warm
water up to its neck, keeping the
water constantly warm. Apply cold,
wet towel to the head. Open bowels
with an injection of warm soapy
water (a weak suds made from Wat­kins
Crystal Rose Soap.) After tak­ing
the child out of the bath wrap in
warm, dry flannel blanket.
Corns. Apply Watkins Corn Salve
binding it on with a J?iece of linen
with a hole in it the s1ze of a corn.
Repeat two or three nights if neces­sary.
Then soak the foot in hot water
for half an hour, when you can pick
the corn out with your fingers.
Coughs. (See Bronchitis, Whooping
Cough, Croup, Hoarseness, Pleurisy,
Pneumonia.) If cough does not appear
to come from any of these causes, it
is probably a variety that may have
a tendency to become chronic. If the
cough is d1"Y with a tickling sensa­tion
in the throat or chest, Watkins
Cough Medicine will generally give
relief.
Cracked Fingers. Cleanse thor­oughly
with Watkins Toilet Soap and

Croup. It is usually traceable to
a cold and its treatment should gen­erally
be along the same lines with
this difference, that a child suffering
from croup should be made to vomit
and this will carry with it mucous that
has accumulated in the windpipe. If
this is not carried away, a membrane
is apt to form, closing the windpipe
and causing death by suffocation. If
there is danger of this, prepare Wat­kins

Watkins Blood and Skin Alterative
Tonic or Watkins Sarsaparilla will be
found most bene1 • ..:1al in toning up the
system.
Delayed Menses. As a rule this
trouble is due to some constitutional
weakness rather than to any defect
in the sexual system. Bring the girl's
bodily health up to normal sta ~ dard
and the menses will appear. A course
of treatment using Watkins Female
Tonic is the best possible treatment
for this ailment.
Diabetes. Indicatea by a persistent
excessive discharge of uriPe. Use
Watkins Diuretic Tablets, or Watkins
Backache and Bladder Pills
Diarrhoea. (Dysentery, Flux, Sum­mer
Complaint.) Dysentery usually
begins like an ordinary attack of
diarrhoea and if \\atkins Liniment
is given promptly the bloody discharg­es
that are characteristic of this dis­ease
may generally be avoided. Wat­kins
Lax-Tone will be found a most
efficient aid to the treatment if taken
at first .to remove any c'ffending sub­stance
from the bowels a11d then fol­lowed
with Watkins Lini.nent. The
patient should be kept in bed and
warm and quiet. In bad cases the
bowels should be washed out with
warm, soapy water, using Watkins
Crystal Rose Soap, two or three times
daily. Warm applications to the abdo­men
give great relief. A bag of hot
salt or a mustard plaster is good.
During convalescence the abdomen
should be protected by a flannel band­age
and the diet should be light and
nutritious, avoiding greasy and solid
foods.
Diphtheria. (See Sore Throat.) If
throat shows white patches call a
physician immediately. Until the
physician arrives gargle the throat
with Watkins Liniment.
Discolored Urine. (See Bladder In­flammation.)
Disease of the Blood. Characterized
by physical weariness, loss of appe­tite,
lassitude, or depression. Frequent­ly
the conditions have been of long
standing before they were noticed by
the patient. Owing to the obstinate
nature of these diseases time will be
required to effect relief but persistent
use of Watkins Sarsaparilla will
usually give the desired results. It
will be advisable frequently to follow
with Watki- s Lax-Tone or Watkins
Laxative Wafers. For all deep seated
or inherited cases of blood disease such
as scrofula or eczema a persistent use
of Watkins Blood and Skin A1terative
Tonic is a most efficient remedy. Much
can be accomplished by a general
course in dieting and outdoor exercise.
Diseases of the Skin. If the disease
is manifest as nettlerash, eczema, ery­sipelas
or any of these diseases, find
them under the proper headings in
this book. If none of these appear to
be the cause the trouble will probably
be due to some impurity in the blood.
A persistent course of Watkins Blood
and Skin Alterative Tonic will gen­erally
be found beneficial. Watkins
Petro-Carbo Salve should bl' used as
an external application

COUGH BALSAM
Truly a favorite medicine for
coughs and colds. Freedom from
coughs and colds, and serious
dangers attending and resulting
from them, is mostly a matter of
avoiding exposure or of proper
care after exposure. For assist­ance
in. warding off incipient at­ta
c~ ; s and in affording relief at
all stages, especially for deep
seated persistent cases of colds
on the lungs or bronchial tubes
which threaten pr eumonia, lung
f.ever and more serious compli­cations,
this balsam will be
found very effective.
Healing and soothing to the
raw throat and lungs. Relieves
the painful coughing and helps
the system to throw off in the
natural way through the bowels
and excretory organs, an accu­mulation
of waste and poison­ous
matter. Otherwisethiswaste
and poison is thrown off by the
mucous membranes of the
throat, clogging the air passages,
causing much tlistres~ ~
coughing
Dizziness. (Vertigo.) Indigestion
or biliousness is the usual cause. Wat­kins
After Dinner Tablets are the in­dicated
remedy in chronic cases; other­wise
take Watkins Lax-Tone.
Dropsy. Do not neglect any drop­sical
tendency. Begin at once a gen­eral
treatment with Watkins Gen-De­Can-
Dra.
Drowning. Clear the air passages
of water by laying the patient face
downward over a ·tJarrel or log or else
clasp the hands under the belly and
raise him. Stimulate artificial respira­tion
and rub the whole body briskly
toward the heart. Keep working.
Don't give up.
Dysentery. (See Diarrhoea.) One
of the most valuable medicines for
this trouble is Watkins Liniment. Full
directions for treatment are given on
the wrapper.
Dyspepsia. There are several mani­festations
of dyspepsia which are
known as acute, atonic, catarrhal and
nervous. Watkins Digestive Tablets
and Watkins After Dinner Tablets are
especially prepared for the common
forms. Watkins Sarsaparilla helps to
stimulate and restore the organs to
their natural action. If constipation is
a condition present use Watkins Lax­Tone
or Watkins Laxative Wafers.
For acute, painful attacks try a dose
of Watkins Liniment thTee times a
day after meals and Watkins Gen-De­Can-
Dra.
Earache. Watkins Liniment or
Watkins Pain-Oleum is a very good
remedy for this disease. Earache is
generally caused by exposure to cold
winds. It frequently happens that the
cause is found in the hardening of ear
wax. In this case put a couple of
drops of sweet oil in the ear and in a
day or two the wax will be sufficient­ly
softened so that it can be washed
out with warm water. Watkins Men­thol-
Camphor Ointment warmed and
rubbed about the ear and into the
canal gives relief.
Eczema. Such other diseases as
salt rheum and tetter are varieties of
eczema. The skin should be washed
with Watkins Vegetable Oil Soap,
then apply Watkins Petro-Carbo
Salve. This should be repeated daily
until relief is afforded, meantime
keeping the part affected out of the
water, except as above indicated. The
blood should be toned up with a course

Erysipelas. Requires prompt atten­tion.
It usually makes its appearance
on the nose or cheek, the surface is
smooth when tt is of a waxy, pale
color or bright red and shiny. The
diet should be the same as during
fevers, light and nutritious. If the
skin itches, Watkins Talcum Powder
will make the patient comfortable.
Watkins Blood and Skin Alterative
Tonic is the best medicine for this
disease, beginning at once according
to directions on the bottle, the size
of the dose being determined by the
age of the person. Be careful to keep
the bowels in good working order
which can always be done by giving
Watkins ·Lax-Tone or Watkins Laxa­tive
Wafers.
Excessive Perspiration. Bathe thor­oughly
and apply Watkins Cold Cream
and then dust with Watkins Talcum
Powder.
Fainting. Let patient lie flat and
loosen clothing around neck, chest and
waist. Free access of fresh air is
important. The head and face should
be bathed with cold water.
Falling of the Womb. Hundreds of
women are afflicted with this disease
and are yet unaware of the true cause
of their ill health. To effect relief
it is necessary to stimulate and
strengthen the ligaments that hold the
womb in place. Watkins Female Tonic
is scientifically prepared to effect in­ternal
medication of this organ, re­ducing
inflammation and giving
strength to support the womb in
place. Daily vaginal douches of hot
water will help and should not be
neglected. The weight of the womb
<h·agging upon the supporting liga­me::
Jts produces a feeling of pain in
the small of the back that is some
times mistaken for kidney trouble.
Felon. Relief may be obtained by
a bandage wet with Watkins Liniment
or by immersing the finger in a hot
solution of salt water two or three
times a day. Apply Watkins Petro­Garbo
Salve.
Female Complaint. For treatment
of the diseases of women, such as
suppressed menstruation, bearing
down pains, congestion of the ovaries
and womb, pains caused by intestinal
fermentation, wind in the bowels, flat­ulence
and bloating, irregularities, de­ranged
appetite, indigestion, falling of
the womb, sallow complexion, pain or
irritation in the uterine organs, numb­ness
of limbs, bewilderment, loss of
memory, sadness, irritable temper,
nervous twitching, hysteria, difficult
and painful passage of urine, nausea,
acid or sour stomach, heat flushes,
nervousness, sleeplessness, dizziness,
cold hands and feet, chills and neural­gia,
constipation, pain in back and
kidneys, deranged montMy periods,
use Watkins Female Tonic. It com­bines
three features of paramount im­portance
in internal medication for the
treatment of female diseases. It is
primarily a tonic, stimulating nutri­tion,
checking tissue waste and acting
as a sedative on the pelvic organs. As
a tonic it stimulates digestion, increas­ing
the flow of bile. As a stimulant,
nutrition is improved by increasing
active assimilation of the digested
food. It regulates the flow and pre­vents
cramps attending menstruation
and is an excellent preparation for
young girls approaching womanhood.
We especially urge our patrons, when
they have use ior a medicine of this
kind to be sure to take er ough of it
to accomplish the desired result.

from the eye, blowing the nostrils on

is under the lid have the patient close
the eye and look downward. Then
turn the lid by holding a pencil firm­ly
against it and lifting upward on
the eyelashes. If it can be seen the

the throat to grasp it. This may be
successful and may cause the patient
