a Striking Picture-A Revival OF Old Tim
Simplicities.

a Striking Pioture-A Revival OK Old limo
Simplicities.
In one of Harper's issues is given very
| fine illustration of Roberts celebrated
| painting, known as ''Doctoring Old Time"
It represents a typical old-timer, with his
bellows, blowing the dust from an ancient
| clock, with its cords and weights carefully
| secured. One of these clocks in this gem
Grafton is appreciated only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name, Doctoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another version
Of the title, used for another purpose
sold Time Doctoring."
We learn, through areliable source, that
one Of the enterprising proprietary medi-
cine firms of the country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and medi-
| cal preparations used in the beginning OF
this century, and even before, with view
Of ascertaining why people in our great
! grandfathers' time enjoyed a health and
! physical vigor so seldom found In the pres
ent generation. They now think they
| have secured the secret or secrets. They
| find that the prevailing opinion that then
existed, that Mature has a remedy for
| every existing disorder" was true, and
acting under this belief, cur grandparents
used the common herbs and plants. Con-
tinual trespass upon the forest domain, has
made these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization, un-
til they have been discarded, ..as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of obtaining
/ them.
b. H. Warner, proprietor Of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n. Y, has been press
| ing investigations in this direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
vol 10
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists.
| They will, we learn, be known under the
! general title of ''Warrer's Log Cabin rem
edies." Among these medicines will be a
sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver,
"Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for
| the stomach, etc, 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 catarrh, called " Log Cabin rose
cream" Among the list is also "Log
Cabin plaster" and a "LOg Cabin liver
| pill"
! From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
! lieved by many that with these remedies
new era is to dawn upon suffering human
| ity 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 medi-
cines, yet they will be none the less well
come, 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. II. Warner is the
head. The people have become suspicious
| Of the effects of doctoring with poisonous
| drugs. Few realize the injurious effects
following the prescriptions Of many modern
physicians. These effects of poisonous drugs,
already prominent, will become more pro-
nounced IN coming generations. Therefore
| we can cordially wish the o.d-fashioned new
| remedies the best of success.
