Sfriking Picture-A Revival OF Old
Time SIrnpiicifies.
In one of Harper's issues Is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as ''Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents typical olds
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
from an ancicnt clock, with its cords and
weights carefully secured. One of these
clocks III this generation is appreciated
only IS a rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time, brings TO our mind another YER
sion of the title, used for another pur.
pose-'Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through n reliable source,
that one OF the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years Investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming OF this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our great grandfathers' time enjoyed
q 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 ma
ture has a remedy for every existing dis
order" was true, and acting under this
belief, orr grandparents used the COM
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass 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 OBJ
tanning them.
II. FL. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, 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 ''sarsaparilla," for the blood
and liver, LOG Caoin hops and Buchu
remedy" for the stomach, ETC., "Log
Cabin hair tonic" Log Cabin extract, !"
for internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for catarrh, called
"Log Cabin rose cream" Among the
list is also LOG Cabin plaster" and Q
''Log Cabin liver pill"
From the number of remedies, it will
be seen that they dc not propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by many that with these rem
edies new era is to dawn upon suffer-
ing humanity and that the close of the
nineteenth century will see these roots
and herbs, as compounded under the tt.
tie of Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as
popular as they were at its beginning.
Although they come in the form of pro-
prietary medicines, yet they will be
none the less welcome, for suffering
humanity has become tired of modern
doctorinS and the public has great con.
fidence in any remedies put up by the
firm of which II. H. Warner is the head.
The people have become suspicious OF
the effects of dootoring 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 pronounced in coming
generations Therefore we can cordially
wish the old-fashioned new remedies
the best of success.
