A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.


Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, ten
der-hearted peasant girl of Normandy
made great history by one desperate act
Sickened by the saturnalia of the
French revolution, and moved tc despera-
ton as Robespierre and Marat were
leading the flower of France to the
guillotine, she determined that she would
put an end to Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine -
He proposed to kill off the enemies Of
the Revolution to make it perpetual!
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fred the blood of this
patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfuge, she found hin
in his bath, even then memorable an
giving written directions for furthe
slaughter!
He asked her the names of tn
inimical deputies who had taken refug'
in Caen. She told him, and he wrot,
them down. "That is well! Before
week is over they shall all be brought &c
the guillotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knife, and plunged i
with supernatural force up to the hilt il
the heart of Marat
Come to me, my dear friend, come
me-" cried Marat, and expired unde
the Low!
In the Corcoran gallery at Washingto
is famous painting of Charlotte, repro
sented as behind the prison bars the da
before her execution.
Tt is thrilling, sad picture, full of sor
row for her suffering country. and of III
conquerable hate for her country's Ell
emies.
What a lesson in this tragic story
Two hundred, nav, five hundred thou
sand people would Marat have sacrifice
to his unholy passion OF power
Methods are quite as murderous an
memorable as men, and they humble
their victims by the millions.
The page of history is full of murders
by authority and by mistaken ideas H.
the practice of medicine alone how many
hundreds of millions have been allowed
to die and as many more killed by I'M
iustifable bigotry and by bungling!
But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
ago it was worth ones professional life to
advise or permit the use of proprietary
medicine. To-day there are not two
physicians in any town in this country
who do not regularly prescribe some
form of proprietary remedy!
H. H. Warner, famed all over the
world as the discoverer of Warmers safe
cure, began hunting up the old remedies
of the Log Cabin days; after long and
patient research he succeeded in secur-
ir,or IF ha Xyoln
family records, and called them Warner
Log Cabin remedies-the simple pre-
partitions of roots, leaves, balsams and
herbs which were the successful stand
bys of our grandmothers. These simple,
old-fashioned sarsaparilla, hops and
buchu, cough and consumption and
other remedies have struck a popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand
all over the land. They are not the I'M
tried and imaginary remedies of some
dabster chemist intent on making money,
but the long-sought principles of the
our ancestors in perfect health, put forth
known all over the world as a philan-
tropist-a lover of his fellow man.
whose name is guarantee of the highest
standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in
the hands of our grandmothers they
raised up the sick, cured the lame, and
bound up the wounds of death, so in
their new form but olden power as Log
Cabin remedies, they are sure to prove
the "healing of the nations"
Corday did the world an incalculable
service in Kidding France OF the bigoteC
and murderous Marat, just as this mar
is doing humanity a service by re-intro
ducing to the world the simpler and bet
ter methods of our ancestors.
