A Claim to Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl Of Normany, made
great history by one desperate actl
Sickened by tho saturnalia of the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower Of Franco TO the guillotine, she de-
tcrmined that she would put an end TO
Marats bloody reign.
Marat had demanded 80 hundred thou
snnd victims for the Suillotine ..
He proposed to kill OF the enemies of the
Revolution TO mako it perpetuall
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood Of this patri-
otic peasant maid
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by n subterfuge, she found him IN
his bath, even then incxorablo and giving
written directions for further slaughter
He asked her the names of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, and he wrote them down.
"That is welll Before a week is over
they shall all be brought to the guillotinc."
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged it with su-
pcrnatural force up to the hilt in the heart Of
Marat
"Come to me, my dear friend, come to
ma," cried Marat, and expired under the
blow
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
a famous painting of Charlotte, represented
as behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow
for her suffering country, and of unconqucr-
able hate for her country's enemies.
Whats q lesson in this tragic storyi Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand peo-
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his un-
holy passion of power!
Methods arc quite as murderous and in
eXorable 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 hun
dreds of millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by unjustitiable
bigotry and by bunglingl
But the age is bettering. Men and meth
DDS arc improving. A few years ago it was
worth ones professional life to advise or
permit the use of a proprietary medicine
To-day there are not two physicians in any
town in this country who do not regular
ly prescribe some form of proprietary rem

III. Warner, famed all over the world
as the discovercr of Warmers safe cure,
began hunting up the old remedies of the
Log Cabin days; after long and patient re-
search he succeeded in securing some of the
most valuable, among family records, and
called them Warmers Log Cabin remedies
the simple preparations OF roots, leaves,
balsams and herbs which were the sue
cessful standbys of our grandmoth
| ers. These simple, old-fashoned sar
saparilla, hops and buchu. cough
| and consumption and other remedies have
struck popular chord and are in extra
ordinary demand all over the land. The,
are not the untried and imaginary remedies
OF some dabster chemist intent on making
money, but the long-sought principles of tn
healing art which for generations kept ou
ancestors in perfect health, put forth for thu
good of humanity by one who is known al
over the world as philanthropist-a lover
| of his fellow man,-whose mans is a guaran
tee of the highest standard of excellence.
The preparations are OF decided anC
| known influence over disease, and as In tht
hands of our grandmothers they raised VI
the sick, cured the lame, and bound up th'
! wounds of death, so in their new form bu
! olden power as Log Cabin remedies, the!
are sure to prove the "healing OF the ma
tons"
| Corday did the world an incalculable serv

nurderous Marat, just as this man is doing
humanity service by re-introducing TO the
world the simpler and better methods o
