"DocToRlNe OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture--A Revival OF Old
Time Simplicities.

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" It represents a typical
old-timer, with his bellows, blowing
the dust from an ancient clock, with
it's 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 mind an
other version of the title, used for an
other purpose-"Old Time Doctor
ing"
We learn, through areliable source,
that one of the enterpirsing proprie-
tary medicine firms of the country,
has been for years investigating the
formulas and medical preparations
used in the beginning of this century,
and even before, with a view of as
pertaining why people in 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 prevail
ing opinion that then existed, that
Mature has remedy for every exist
ing disorder" was true, and acting
under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants.
Continual trespass upon the forest do
main, 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.
H. II. Warner, proprietor of War
ner's safe cure and founder of the
Warner observatory, Rochester, N.
Y, has been pressing 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.
They will, we learn, be known
under the general title OF warmers
Log Cabin remedies" Among these
medicines will be a "sarsaparilla,"
for the blood and liver, LOG Cabin
hops and buchu remedy" for the
stomach, etc., clog Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" LOG Cabin
hair tonic" clog Cabin extract" for
internal and external use, and. an old
valuable discovery for catarrh,
called clog Cabin rose cream"
Among the list is also "Log Cabin
plaster" and a clog Cabin liver
pill"
From the number of remedies, it
will be seen that they do not propose
to cure all diseases with one prepare
ton. 1t is believed by many that
with these remedies new era is to
dawn upon suffering humanity and
that the close of the nineteenth
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 welcome, for suffer
ing humanity has become tired of
modern doctoring and the public has
great confidence in any remedies put
up by the firm of which 81. III. War
ner is the head. The people have
become suspicious of the effects of doc
toring with poisonous drugs. Few
realize the injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many modern
physicians. These effects of poison
GUS drugs, already prominent, will
become more pronounced in coming
generations. Therefore we can
cordially wish the old-fashioned new
remedies the best of success.
