A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old Time
SimplicitieS,
In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts ccle-

from an ancient clock, with its cords aud

clocks in this generation il appreciated
only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctorirg Old
Time," brings to our mind another ver-
sion of the title, used for another pur-
pose,-"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, he's been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming of this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our great. grandfathers' time enjoyed
health and physical vigor SO seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret of
secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion chat then existed, that "Nature
has remedy for every existing disorder"
was true, and acting under the belief, our
grandparents used the common herbs
and plants. Continual trespass upon the
forest domain, has made these herbs less
abundant and has driven them further from
civilization, until they have been dis
carded, as remedial agents because of
the difficulty of obtaining them:

until he has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his firm is now
preparing medicines, to be sold by all
druggists.

the general title OF "Warner's Log Cabin

and external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called "Log Cabin
rose cream" Among the list is also a
"Log Cabin plaster" and "Log Cabin
liveI pill"
From the number of remedies, il will
be seen that they do not propose to
cure all diseases with one preparation,

remedies new era is to dawn upon suffer.
