"DOCTORING OLD TIME.o
A striking Plcture..A Revival of Old
Time SimplIclties.

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as ''Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical old.
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancient clrck, with its cords and
weights carefully secured One of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
only as rare relic
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time" brings to- our minds another ver-
sion of the title, used for another purpose,
-"Old Time Doctoring"
We learn through reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary medi.
cine firms of the country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming Of this century, and even before,
with view of uscertaining why people
i'll our great-grandfathers time enjoyed
a health and physical vigor so seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
or secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that Mature
has remedy for every existing disorder"
was true, and acting under this belief,
our grandparents used the common herbs
and plants. Continual trespass upon the
forest domain has made these herbs less
abundant and has driven them further
from civilization, until they have been
discarded, as remedial agents because of
the difficulty of obtaining them.
ii. Ii. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observatory, Rochester, N. Y. has been
pre- sing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his firm is now
preparing medicines to be sold by all
druggists.
Thew WILL we learn be known under
the general title of Warmers Log Cabin
Among these medicines will
be 'sarsaparilla." for the blood and
liver, Log Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy, for the stomach, etc, Log Cabin
cough and consumption remedy" Log
Cabin hair tonic, ""LOg Cabin extract, for
internal and external use, and an old val,
liable discovery for catarrh, called Log
Cabin rose cream Among the list is
ais Log Cabin plaster" and q Log
Cabin liver pill "
From the number Of remedies, it will
be seen that they do mt propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by many that with these rene
dies new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity and that the close of the nine
teeuth century will see these roots and
herbs, as compounded under the title of
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as popular
as they were at its beginning. Although |
they come in the form of proprietary
medicines. yet they will be none the less |
for suffering h humanity has be-
come tired of modern dOct"riug and the |
public has great confidence in any RENE
dies put up by the firm of which H. Ii. |
Warner is the head. The people have |
become suspicious Of the effect OF doctor
ing with posonou, drugs. Few realize |
he injurious effects following the pre-
'CriItiOns of many modern physicians
These effects of poisonous drugs, already |
prominent, will become more pronounced |
n coming generations Therefore we
AN cordially wish the old-faShioned new |
'emede, the best of success.
