n Striking Pictmrc-A Revival Of Old
Time Simplicities.
In one of Harper's issues is given very
fine illustration OF Roberts's celebrated paint
ing. known as "Do:toring Old Time" 1t
represents typical old-timer, with his bel
lows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured One Of these c.oc..--s i'll .his genera
ton is appreciated only as rare relic
Tho suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time" brings 10 our mind another version OF
the title, used for another purpose-"Old
Timo Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary medicine
firms of the country has been for years ill.,
vestigating the formulas and medical prep
arations used in the beginning of this CEN
fury, and even before, with view of ascer-
tanning why people in our great grandfathcrs
time enjoyed u health and physical vigor so
seldom found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret or
secrets They find thatthe prevailing opinion
that then existed, that Mature has remedy
for every existing d sorder." was true, and
acting under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants. Con-
tinual trcspass 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 be-
cause of the difficulty Of obtaining them.
II. II. Warner, proprietor OF Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servGtory, Rochester, n. y. has been press
ing investigations III 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 he sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn. be known under thu
general tito of Warmers Lo. Cabin REM

''sarsaparilla,r for the blood and liver, LOG

sumption remedy" "Log Cabin hair tonic"
"Log Cabin extract for internal anu ex-
ternal use, and nll Old valuable discovery for
catarrh, called clog Cabin rose crcam.n
, Among the list IS also "l.og Cabin Plaster"
and LOG Cabin liver pill. :"
From the number OF remedies, it will be
seen that they 10 not propose 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

Although Trey come in tue form OF
proprietary medicines, yet they will be
none the less welcome, for suffer-
ing humanity has become tired of
modern doctorins and the public
has great confidence i'll any remedies put up
by tile firm OF which H.. 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 manymolern physicians.
These effects Of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pronounced in
coming generations. Therefore we can cor
daily wish the old Fashioned new remedies
the best of success.
