A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, ten- der-hearted peasant girl of Normandy made great history by one desperate act :!
 Sickened by the saturnalia of the French revolution, and moved to despera- tion as Robespierre and Marat were leading the flower of France to the gnlllotine, she determined that she would put an end to Marat's bloody reign.
 Marat had demanded two hundred thousand victims for the guillotine
 He proposed to kill of the enemies of the Revolution to make it perpetual!
 Horrible thought
 No wonder it fired the blood of this patriotic peasant maidl
 Gaining access to his closely guarded quarters by subterfuge, she found him in his bath, even then memorable and giving written directions for further slaughteri
 He asked her the names of the inimical deputies who had taken refuge tn Caen. She told him, and he wrote them down. "That is we'll Before a week is over they shall all be brought to the guillotine."
 At these words, Charlotte drew from her bosom the knife4 and plunged it with supernatural force up to the hilt in the heart of Marat.
 Come to me, my dear friend, come to me-" cried Marat, and expired under the tlowl
 In the Corcorap gallery at Washington is famous painting of Charlotte, repre- sented as behind the prison bars the day before her execution.
 It IS thrilling, sad picture, full of sor- row for her suffering country, and of un- conquerable hate for her country's en- emies
 What lesson in this tragic story Two hundred, nay, five hundred thou sand people would Marat have sacrificed to his unholy passion of powerl
 Methods are quite as murderous and inexorable 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 hundreds of millions have been allowed to die and as many more killed by un- lustifable bigotry and by bunglingl
 But the age is bettering. Men and methods are improving. A few years ago it was worth one's professional life to advise or permit the use of proprietary medicine. To-day there are not two physicians in any town in this country who do not regularly prescribe some form of proprietary remedy!
 Il. H. Warner, famed all over the world as the discoverer of Warmers safe cure, began hunting up the old remedies Of the Log Cabin days; after long and patient research he succeeded in secur- ing some of the most valuable, among family records, and called them Warner's Log Cabin remedies-the simple pre- parations of roots, leaves, balsams and herbs which were the successful stand bys of our grandmothers. These simple. oid-fashioned sarsaparilla, 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 un- tried 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 a philan- tropist-a lover of his fellow man. whose name is a 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, so in their new form but olden power as Log Cabin remedies, they are sure to prove the healing of the nations"
 Corday did the world an incalculab1e service in ridding France of the bigoted and murderous Marat, just as this man is doing humanity service by re-intro- ducing to the world the simpler and bet ter methods of our ancestors.
