A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.

Charlotte Ccrdsy, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl of Normandy mad
great history by one desperate act
Sickened by the saturnalia OF the frenci
revolution, and moved to desperation a
Robespierre and Marat were leading tn;
flower of France to the guillotine, she de
termined that shs would put an end Il
Marat's bloody reign.
Msrat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotipe!
He proposed to kill of the enemies o.
the Revolution to make it peTp stual !
Horrible thought
No wonder it fred the blood of the psf
riotic peasant maid.
Gaining access to his closely guarded
Quarters by q subterfrgs, she found him ID
his bath, even then inexorable and giving
written directions for further slaughter!
He asked her the names of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen'
She told him, aud he wrote them down
THAT is we'll! Before week is over they
shall all bs brought to the guilotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from hel
bosom the knife, and plunged it with
supernatural force up to the hilt in the
heart of Msrst
Come to me, my dear friend, come te
me-" cried Marst, and he expired under
the blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
q famous painting OF Charlotte, represented
a. behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is a thrilling. sad picture, full of cor
row for her suffering country, and OF IN
conqusrabls hate for her country'S enc
mics.
What q Lesson in this tragic story! Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand PEG,
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his I'M
molly passion of power!
Methods are quite as nurderous and In
exorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page Of history is full OF murders by
authority and by mistaken ideas! In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun
dreds of millions have bsen allowed to die
and as many more by upjustifiable bigotry
and by bungling!
But the age is lettering. Men and meth
DDS are improving. A few years ago 1t
was worth ones professional life to advise
or permit the use Of proprietary medicine.
To-day there are not two physicansin any
town in this country who do not regularly
prescribe sometorm ofproprietary remedy

as the discoversr of Warmers safe cure, be-
gan hunting up old remedies of the Log
Cabin days; after long and patient re-
search he succeeded in securing some OF
the most valuable, among family records,
and called them Warmers Log Cabin rem.
ediss-the simple preparations OF roots,
leaves, balsams and herbs which were the
successful standbys of our grandmother
These simple, old-fsshiorei sarsaparllla,
hops and buchu, cough and consumption
and other remedies have struck popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand all
over the land. They are not the untried
and imaginary remedies OF some dabster
chemist intent on making money, but the
long. sought principles OF the healing art
which for generations kept our ancestors
in perfect health, put forth for the good OF
humanity by one who is known all over the
world as philanthropist-a lover of his
fellow mar, whose pame is guarantee
of the highest standard of excellence. ,
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in the
hands of our grandmothers they raised up
the sick, cured the lame, and bound up the
wounds of death, 50 in their new form but
olden power as Log Cabin remedies they
are sure to prove the healing OF the ma
tons"
Cordsy did the world an incalculable
service by Kidding France Of the bigoted
and numerous Marat, just as this man is
doing humanity servics by re-introduclng
to the world the simpler and batter meth
