a CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.


Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced,
tender-hearted peasant girl of Nor
mandy made great history by one des-
perate actl
Sickened by the saturnalia Of the
French revolution, and moved to des-
peration rs Robbespierre and Marat
were leading the flower OF France to
the guillotine, she determined that she |
would put an end to Marat's bloody
reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine!
He proposed to kill off the enemies
of the Revolution to make it per-
petuall
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fred the blood Of this
patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfuge, she found
him in his bath, even then memorable
and giving written directions for fur
ther slaughter!
He asked her the names OF the in.
imical deputies who had taken refuge
in Caen. She told him, and he wrote
them down. "That is we'll! Before n
week is over they shall all be brought
to the guillotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knife, and plunged it
with supernatural force up to the hilt
in the heart OF Marat.
"Come to me my dear friend, come
to me-" cried Marat, and expired un-
der the blow.
In the Corcoran gallery at Wash.
ington is a famous painting OF Char,
lotte, represented as behind the prison
bars the day before her execution.
Il is thrilling, sad picture, full Of
sorrow for her suffering country, and
of unconquerable hate for her coun-
try's enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story
Two hundred, nay, five hundred thou
sand people would Marat have sacri
feed to his unholy passion OF power!
Methods are quite as murderous an(
memorable as men, and they number
their victims by the millions.
The page Of history is full OF muir
ders by authority and by mistaken
ideas! In the practice OF medicine
alone how many hundreds OF millions
have been allowed to die and as man,
more killed by unjustifable bigotr,
and by bungling!
But the age is bcttering. Men ant
methods are improving. A few year
ago it was worth ones professions
life to advise or permit the use OF
proprietary medicine. To-day ther
are not two physicians in any town il
this country who do not regularly pre-
scribe some form OF proprietar
remedy!
III. H. Warner, famed all over tn
world as the discoverer OF Warner
safe cure, began hunting up the oil
remedies Of the Log Cabin days; a
ter long and patient research he SIT
ceeded in securing some OF the MOI
valuable, among family records, an
called them Warmers Log Cabin rem
edies-the simple preparations OF root
leaves, balsams and herbs whic
were the successful standbys of o,
grandmothers. These simple, oil
fashioned sarsaparilla, hops an
buchu, cough and consumption an
other remedies have struck popul'
chord and are in extraordinary d
mand all over the land. They are NJ
the untried and imaginary remedies
some dabster chemist intent on ma
ing money, but the long. sought pri
ciples OF the healing art which Il
generations kept our ancestors in pc
feet health, put forth for the good
humanity by one who is known {
over the world rs a philanthropist-
lover OF his fellow man,-whose nan
is guarantee of the highest stan
ard Of excellence.
The preparations are OF decided Al
known influence over disease, and
in the hands of our grandmothers thu
raised up the sick, cured the lame, al
, bound up the wounds of death, SO
their new form but olden power
Log Cabin remedies, they are sure
prove the "healing OF the nations"
Corday did the world an incalculat
service in Kidding France of t
bigoted and murderous Marat, just
this man is doing humanity servi
by re-introducing to the world t
simpler and better methods OF o
ancestors.
