We learn, through reliable sou,co a.,
one of the enterprising proprietary m sISs
cine firms of the country has besn ' ~
years investigating the formulas and nv av'
ical preparations used in the bepinn;N.
OF this century, and even before, with

find that the prevailing opinion that tbss
existed, that Mature has remedy e.,
every existing disorder" was true, AMI
acting under this belief, our grandparen,s
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
until they have been discarded as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of obtain

H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warner.

pressing investigations in this direction
into the annals of old family histories
until he has secured some very valuabls
formulas, from which his firm is now pra-

They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of "Warner's Log Cabin rem.
edies." Among these medicines will be a
"sarsaparilla" for the blood and liver,
LOG Cabin hops and buchu remed ~ for

tonic" "Log Cabin extract" for internal
and external use, and an old valuable dis
oovery for catarrh, called Log Cabin rose

From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-

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 H. H. Warner is
the head. The people have become sus-
picious of the effects of doctoring with
poisonous drugs. Few realize the injuri-
GUS effects following the prescriptions Of
many modern physicians. These effects Of
poisonous drugs, already prominent, will
become moro pronounced in coming gen
erations. Therefore,we can cordially wish
the old fashioned new remedies the best Of
success.
