"DOCTORING CID TIME"
A Striking Picturs7A Revival Of Old

- Time Sim61icities.
In one of Harper's issues is given a very
fine illustration OF Roberts's celebrated paint
ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time 1t
represents a typical old-timer, with his bel
lows, blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. Che of these clocks in this genera,
ton is appreciated only as rare relic.
Tho suggestive name, "DoctorinR Old
Time" brings to our mind another version OF
tho title, used for another purpose OId
Time Doctoring.n
We learn, through a reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary medicine
firms of the country has been for years in
yestigating 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 grandtathers
time enjoyed health and physical vigor so
seldom found in the present generation Ihey
now think they have secured the secret or
secrets. They find that the prevailing opinion
that then existed, that Mature has remedy
for every existing disorder was true, and
acting under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants Con-
tnual 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 be-
cause of the difficulty Of obtaining them
II. II. Warner, proprietor Of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
ing 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 rem
edies." Among those medicines will be
"sarsaparilla,' for the blood and liver, log
Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for the
stomach, etc, LOG Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy" LOG Cabin hair tonic"
LOG Cabin extract" for internal and ex-
ternal use, and an old valuable discovery for
catarrh, called LOG Cabin rose cream"
Among the list is also a LOG Cabin Plaster"
and a LOG Cabin liver pill"
From the number of remedies it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is believed
by many that with these remedies a new era
is to dawn upon suffering humanity and that
the close of the nineteenth century will see
these roots and herbs, as compounded under
the title of Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as
popular as they were at its beginning.
Although they come in the form Of
proprietary medicines, yet they will be
none the less welcome for suffer
ing 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 suspicious OF
the effects of doctoring 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 cor
daily wish the old fashioned new remedies
the best of success.
