The Secret OF Their Unusual Vigor EI-
pIsined and How IL Can be Acquired
There was something about the sturdy
vigor of former generations that challenges the
admiration of every man, woman, and chnd'
They were no epicurcs-thoso ancient fathers.
They lived simply, and successfully met and
overcome difficulties that would have dis
couraged this age and generation. Inc rigora
of tho frontier were supplemented by the
savages; wild beasts threatened their enter
prise and poverty was common companion.
Yet they bravely encountered aud resisted
all those those things and laid the founda-
tions of n land whose blessings we now enjoy.
Their constitutions were strong; their health
unsurpassed and yet they were forced to ex-
pose themselves continually. There GER
tainly must have been some good and ade-
quate cause for all this and for the physical
superiority of that age over the present.
It is well known to every one conversant
with the history of that time that certain
home compounds Of strengthening qualities
were used almost universally by those pio-
neers. The malarial evils and exposures to
which they were subjected necessitated this.
When their bodies become chilled by cold or
dobilitated by the damp mlsts OF new
country thoy were forced TO counterfeit 1t by
the use of antidotes. Medicines were few in
UnOse uayS, una uOCIOrd almost unKHOWu.
Hence the preparations above referred to.
From among tho number, all Of which were
compounded upon the same general principle,

more popular than all the rest 1t was we'll
known through the middle and western
states and was acknowledged rs tho best
preparation for malaral disorders and gen.

handed down from one family and generation

formula for the present "Tippecanoe," tho

which was the medicine of our forefathers

"Tippecanoe is prepared and given to the
public by Messrs. II. II. Warner & Co., of
| Rochester, n. Y, proprietors of the famous
Warmers Safe Cure, which is now the most
extensively used Of any American medicine.
The well-known standing of this house is q
sufficient guarantee of the purity and power
of this preparation, which seeks to Danish one

experiences trouble of digestion; who feels
less vigor than formerly; whose system has
unquestionably run down" and who realizes
the necessity of some strengthening tonic
cannot afford to permit such symptoms to
continue. If the farmer finds that his
threshing machine does not separate the

thing is wrong and tries to repair the ma

pecanoe," the medicine of the past, safe
guard for the present, and guarantee of
