aDOCrORTNG OLD TIME %

A Striking Picture-A Revival OF Old
Time SImpIicitIes
In one Of HaTper's issues is given a
very fine illustration OF Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "DoctOring
Old Time" 1t represents a typical old
timer, with his bellows, blowing the dust
frem an ancient clock, with It's weights
and cords carefully secured. One Of
these clocks in this generation is appre-
ciRted only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name, tsDoctorinR Old
Time" brings to our mind another yer
sion Of the title-used for another pur-
pOse,-"Old Time DOetOring."
We learn, through a reliable source,
that one Of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms Of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming Of this century, and even before,
with view Of ascsrtaining why people in
our great -grandfathers' time, enjoyed a
health and physical vigOr so seldom
found In the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret
or secrets. They find that the prevail
ing opinion that then existed, that 'fNa-
ture has a remedy for every existing dis
order" was true, and acting under this
belief, OUT grandparents used the COM
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass upon the forest domain, has made
these herbs less abundant and has driV-
en- them further from civilization, until
they have been discarded as remedial
agents because Of the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning them.
III. II. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
serVatOry, Rochester,, II. Y, has been
pressing Investigations In this direction,
into the annals Of old family histories,
uatil he has secured some very valuable
formulas, 60 be sold by all druggists.
They viii, we learn, be known under
the general title Of warmers Log Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines viii
be "sarsRpaIiIIa, for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy"
for the stomach, etc, ''Log cabin cough
and consumption remedy" clog cabin
hair tonic" clog cabin extract" for in
ternal and external use, and an Old valu-
able discovery for catarrh, called clog
Cabin rose cream" Among the list is
also 'tLlog Cabin plaster" and ''Log
Cabin liver pill"
From the number of remedies it VIII
be seen that they do not propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. It is
believed by many that Wigh these RENE
dies a new era is to dawn upon suffer
ing humanity, and that the close Of the
nineteenth century viii see these z0ets
and herbs, as compounded under the
title Of Warmers Log Cabin remedies,
as popular as they were at its begin
ming. Although they come in the form
Of proprietary medicines yet they viii be
none the less welcome, for suffering hu-
mainly has become tired Of modern doc
toring, and the public has-great conf
dence in any remedies put up by the
firm Of which ii. d. Warner is the head.
The people have become suspicious Of
the effects Of doctoring with poisonous
drugs. Few realize the injurious effects
Of following the prescriptions of many
modern physicians. These effects OF
poisonous drugs, already prominent, VIII
become more pronounced in coming gen
eratiOns. Therefore we can cordially
wish the Old-fashiOned new remedies the
best Of SUCCESS.
