A HUNDRED YEARS A HEpo
How Seth Warner Won a W.T..
and Became Famous

Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont a..
famous hero of the Revolutionary NO,
was leading fighter for the Hamnsh;..
grants.
These titles were disputed by the STATE
of New York, and its authorities obtainsS
an edict of the king of England in thai,
favor. These settlers were stung BY ths
supposed injustice. This state of thin1s
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the front
With Ethan Allen and others he actiyslv
opposed every effort of the New YORK
state authorities to enforce possession
and finally he, with Allen and Others were
outlawed and a price put on their heads
To circumvent New York it wes neces.
sary that some one should go into that
state and gain required information
Colonel Warner, assuming for safety the
name of Doctor Howard" undertook tbis
perilous and romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped at
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were storm bound. The father
fell ill and the daughter called upon COL
onel Warner, who, with his wide knowl-
edge of simple remedies, successfully
treated the sold man." and ne finally won
this devoted woman for a 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 IN.
professional friend versed in the use Of
simple herbs and roots. The health Of
early settlers and their powers of en-
durance convince US that such medicnes
did only good and left no poison in the
blood to work as much injury to the sys.
tenn 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 posi-
tive success.
Warner, for over a hundred years, has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration
of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to family
of wide distinction; no less than eight
members thereof won fame in the regular
practice of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people
of this generation of the old time simple
remedies, his direct descendant, II. q.
Warner, the we'll known proprietor Of
Warmers safe cure, for many years has
been experimenting with old time roots
and herbs formula and, his search having
finally rewarded with success, he gives the
world the result. These recipes and for
mule in other days accomplished great
things because they were purely vegetable
and combined simply so as to cure the
disease indicated, without injury to the
system. In harmony with their old time
character, we learn that he proposes to call
them Warmers Log Cabin remedies, using
as a trade mark an old fashioned Ameri-
can log cabin. We understand that he in
tends to put forth "sarsaparilla" for the
blood, the sarsaparilla itself being butone
of a number of simple and effective ele-
ments; "Log Cabin hops and buchu," Q
general stomach tonic and invigorator;
LOG Cabin cough and consumption
remedy" Warmers Log Cabin hair tonic'
a preparation for that universal disease,
catarrh, called clog Cabin rose cream
Warmers Log Cabin plasters," and "War-
ner's Log Cabin liver pills. which are to
be used in connection with the other rene
dies, or independently, as required.
Warmers safe remedies are already stan
dards of the most pronounced scientific
value in all parts of the world, and we
have no doubt the Log Cabin remedies,
for the diseases they are intended to cure
will be of equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has
the reputation of connecting his name
with no preparation that is not meritorl-
