OUR ANCESTORS NERVE.
The Secret Of Their Unusual Vig0r Ex-
planned and How II Can be ACQUIRED.

There was something about the sturdy vigor
OF former generations that challenges the adj
miration Of every man, woman and child They
were no cpicures-those ancient luthers. They
lived simply, and successfully met and over
como difficulties that would have discouraged
TINS age and generation. The rigols Of the
frontier were supplemented by the savuges;
wild beasts threatened their enterprise and pow
cry was common companion, Yet they
DmVely encountered and resisted all those
thlngs and laid the ioun latiOns ola land whose
blessings we now enjoy, Their constitutions
were strong; their health unsurpassed and yet
thcy were forced to expose themselves contin-
ual.y' There certainly must have been some
good and adequate cause for all this and for tic
physical superiority of that age over the pres
ent.
IL IL well-known to everyone conversant
with the history OF that time, that certain home
compounds OF Strengthening qualities, were
used almost universally by those pioneers. The
malnrial evils and exposures to which they
were subjected nccessitacd this When their
bodies became chilled by cold or debitated by
Inc damp mists Of u new country they were
forced to counterfeit 1t by the use of antidotes.
Medicines were few in those days, doctors al
most unknown. Hence the preparations above
referred to. From among the number, all of
which were compounded upon the same
general principle, one WIS found to be
more efficient and hence far more popu-
lar than all the rest 1t was we'll
known through tho middle and west
ern states and was acknowledged as the best
preparation for malarial disorders and general
debility then known. The recipe for COM
pounding this valuable article was handed
down from one family and generation to an.
other, was known to the Harrison family and
is used as the basis and general formula for the
present "Iippecanoe," tho name being sug-
by the battle in which General Harrison
was engaged. The manufacturers have thor
oughly Investigated this subject in its minutcst
details, and are certain that for mal-assimila-
ton of food, dyspepsia, tired feelings, general
debility, pros,rations, malaral disorders and
humors in the blood, nothing can exceed in
value "Iippecanoe," which was the medicine
of our ioretathcrs and seems destined to be the
popular preparation of the day.
"IippecanOe" is prepared and given to the
public by Mcssrs. ii. II. Warner & Co., Of
Rochester, N. Y, proprictors OF the famous
Warmers Safe Cure, which is now the most
extensively used OF any American medicine.
The wcll.known standing of this house is q
sufficient guarantee Of the purity and power
Of this preparation which seeks to Danish one
OF the greatest bancs of the nineteenth century
-mal-assima,ion of food. Any one who en-
pericnccs trouble Of digestion; who feels less
vigor than formerly; whose system has I'M
qucstionably "rn down" and who realizes the
necessity OF some Strengthening tonic cannot
Afford to permit such symptoms to continue,
II the farmer finds that his threshng machine
does not separate the grain from the straw he
realizes that something is wrong and tiles to
repair the machine. When the food does not
sustain the life; when it fails to make blood;
when 1t causes the energy to depart and ambi-
lion to die, il is certain sign that something
is wrong and that the human machine needs
repairing. 1t is not II question Of ch yicc; it is
a matter of duty. You must attend to your
health or your sickness and nothing will soon
er overcome these evils than "Tippccanoe,"
The medicine Of the past, a safeguard for the
present and n guarantee of health for the future.
