"DOCTORING OLD TINES,
A Striking Picture-A Revival OF Old
Time Slmpllcltles.

liihe Sihipiiclll's'
In one OF Harpors issues is giyon
n very tino illustration OF Roberts
celebrated painting, known as "Doc'
toring Old Time" 1t represents n
typical old timer, with his bellows,
blowing tho dust from nm 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 IN
other version OF the title, used for
another purposo,-"Old Time Doc
toring."
We learn, through q reliable
source, that one of tho enterprising
proprietary medicine firms OF the
country, has been for years investi-
eating the formulas and medical pre-.
parations used in tho beginning OF
this century, and oven before, with
view of ascertaining why people in
our grandfathers time enjoyed n
health and hypsical vlgor 30 seldom
found in the present generation
They now think they have secured
the secret or secrets. They find that
the prevailing opinion that then ex-
listed, that Mature has remedy for
every existing disorder, was true,and
acting under this belief, our grand
parents 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. III. Warner, proprietor OF
Warmers safe cure and founder of
tho Warner observatory, Rochester,
N. Y, has been pressing investiga.
tions in this direction, into tho an
nnls of old family histories, until he
has secured some very valuable for
mulas, 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 warner 8
Log Cabin remedies" Among these
medicines will be a "sarsaparilla," for
the blood and liver, LOG Cabin hops
and buchu remedy" for the stomach,
LOG Cabin cough and consumption
remedy" LOG Cabin hair tonic,
Log Cabin extract, for internal and
external use, and an old valuable dis.
covery for catarrb, called "Log Cab
in rose cream" Among tho list is
is also "Log Cabin plaster" and n
LOG Cabin liver pill"
From the number of rem adies, it
will be seen, that they do not pro-
pose to cure all diseases with one
preparation. 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 tit
10 of Wlrner Log C.bin RENE lies,
n popular rs they were Mt its begin
ming. Although they come in the
form of proprietary medicines, yet
they will be none tho less welcome,
for suffering humanity has become
tired of modern doctoring and the
public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm of which
II. H. Warner is the head. The peo-
Pile have become suspicious of the eff
feots of doctoring with poisonous
drugs. Few realize the injurious eff
fects following the prescriptions of
many modern physicians. These Of
fectsof poisonous drugs,a already pro-
will become more pronounced
in coming generations. Therefore
we can cordially wish the old-fash-
ioned new remedies the best of sue
cess.
