How Seth Warner Won . wife and
Became Famouas stf 81

Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont. thu
famous hero of the Revolutionary war, was
leading fighter for tbe Hampshire grants. &,
These titles were disputed by the State oi
New York, and ils authorities obtained an
edict Of the King Of England in their favor
The settlers were stung by the supposed IN;
Justice. This state of things brought Colonel
Seth Warner to the front. With Ethan Allen
and others he actively opposed every enort Of
the New York State authorities TO enforce
possession, and finally he, with Allen and
others, were outlawed and price put on
their heads. al 40
4 To circumvent New York, IL was necessary
that some one should go into that state and
gain required information. Col. Warner
assuming for safety the name of 'Dr. How.
ard" undertook this perilous and romantic
journey. ~
While on his way home he stopped at a
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were Rtorm-bound. The father fell
i'll and the daughter called upon Col. Warner
who, with his wide knowledge of simple
remedies, successfully treated the "old man, =
and he finally won this devoted woman for a
wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon in
those years. When the doctor was not easily
reached, months of sickness, and even life
were often saved by some sunprofessional
friend versed in the use of simple herbs and
roots. The health Of early settlers and their
powers of endurance convince Us that such
medicines did only good and left no poison in
the blood to work IA much injury to the
system as would the disease itself.
In time of peace the colonel was in con-
slant demand for his knowledge of simple
remedies and their power over disease. But
it was left to another of his name of the
present age to give to the public what was
then used with such positive success.
Warner for over hundred years has shared
with Ethan Allen the admiration of the
American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to family of
wide distinction; no less than eight members
thereof won fame in the regular practice of
medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people of
this generation of the old time simple rem
edies, his direct descedant, ii. II. Warner,
the well-known proprietor of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been experimenting
with old time roots and herbs formula and,
his search having been finally rewarded with
success, he gives the world the result. These
recipes and formul@ in other days accom-
plished great things because they were purely
vegetable and combined simply SO as to cure
the disease indicated, without injury to the
system. In harmony with their old time
character, we learn that he proposes to call
them Warmers Log Cabin remedies, using as
a trademark an old. fashioned American log
cabin. We understand that he intends to
put forth ''sarsaparilla." for the blood, the
sarsaparilla itself being but one of number
of simple and effective elements; clog Cabin
hops and buchu," general stomach tonic
and invigorator: clog Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" "Warner's Log
Cabin rose cream;" s'Warner's Log Cabin
plasters;" and "Warner's Log Cabin liver
pills." which are to be used in connection
with the other remedies, or Independently as
required.
Warmers safe remedies are already stan
dards of the most pronounced scientific value
in all parts of the world, and we have no
doubt the Log Cabin remedies, for the
diseases they are intended to cure. will be of
equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the reputa-
tion of connecting his name with no prepara-
tion that is not meritorious.
