A Hundred Years a Hero!
HOW SETH WARNER WON A WIFE AND
BECAME FAMOUS.

Colonel Seth Warner of Vermont,
the famous hero of the revolutionary
war, was leading fighter for the
Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the
state of New York, and its authorities
obtained an edict of the king of Eng
land in their favor. The settlers were
stung by the supposed injustice. This
state of things brought Colonel Seth
Warner to the front. With Ethan AL
len and others he actively opposed
every effort of the New York state
authorities to enforce possession, and
finally he, with Allen and others, were
outlawed and price put on their
heads!
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should 90
into that state and gain required infor
nation. Colonel Warner, assuming
for safety the name of cdr. Howard, /"
undertook this perilous and romantic
journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at a country inn, where an old gentle
man and daughter were storm-bound.
The father fell i'll and the daughter
called upon Colonel Warner, who, with
his wide knowledge of simple reme-
dies, successfully treated the old
man." and he finally won this devoted
woman for wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon
in those years. When the doctor was
not easily reached, months of sickness,
and even life were often saved by some
unprofessional friend versed in the use
of simple herbs and roots. The health
of early settlers and their powers of
endurance convince us that such medi-
cines did only good and left no poison
in the blood to work as much injury to
the system as would the disease itself.
In time of peace the colonel was in
constant demand for his knowledge of
simple remedies and their power over
disease. But it was left to another of
his name of the present age to give to
the public what was then used with
such positive success
Warner for over hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration
of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs TO fam
lily of wide distinction: no less than
eight members thereof won fame in the
regular VI IHculClllG.
Looking to the adoption by the peo-
pie of this generation of the old time
simple remedies, his direct descendant,
II. II. Warner, the well-known pro-
prietor of Warmers safe cure, for many
years has been experimenting with old
time roots and herbs formula and, his
search having been finally rewarded
with success, he gives the world the
result. These recipes and formulie in
other days accomplished great things
because they were purely vegetable and
combined simply so as to cure the dis
ease indicated, without injury to the
system. In harmony with their old
time character we learn that he pro-
poses to call them Warmers Log Cabin
remedies, using as trademark an old
fashioned American log cabin. We
understand that he intends to put forth
g sarsaparilla, for the blood, the
sarsaparilla itself being but one of a
number of simple and effective ele-
ments; Log Cabin hops and buchu,"
! tor; Log Cabin cough and consump-
ton remedy" s. Warmers Log Cabin
hair tonic;' preparation for that
universal disease catarrh, called Log
Cabin rose cream" " Warmers Log
Cabin plasters;" and Warmers Log
Cabin liver pills. which are to be used
in connection with the other remedies,
or independently as required.
Warmers safe remedies are already
standards of the most pronounced sci
entific value in all parts of the world
and we have no doubt the Log Cabin
remedies, for the diseases they are in
tended to cure, will be of equal merit.
for Mr.. Warner has the reputation of
connecting his name with no prepare
ton that is not meritorious.
