A Claim to Human Gratitude.

A CA0km Co huW14R Gaf3B16009s Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
 hearted peasant girl of Normandy, made great history by one desperate actI Sickened by the saturnalia of the French revolution, and moved to desperation as Ro- bespierre 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 thou sand victims for the guiIlOtine! He proposed to kill of the enemies of the Revolution to make it perpetual Horrible thought
 No wonder it fired the blood of this patri- otic peasant maidi
 Gaining access to his closely guarded quar- ' ters by subterfuge, she found him in his bath, even then memorable and giving writ- I ten directions for further alaughter 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 week is over they shall all be brought to the guillotine." At these words Charlotte drew from her bosom the knife and plunged it with super natural force up to the hilt in the heart of Narat
 "Come to me, my dear friend. come to me-" cried Marat, and expired under the Z blowi
 In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is 8 famous painting of Charlotte, represented as behind the prison bars the day before her ex- ecution.
 It is thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow \ for her suffering country and of unconquera- ble hate for her country's enemies. What a lesson in this tragic storyi Two | hundred, nay, five hundred thousand people N 6av fn passion of powerl Methods are quite as murderous and tnexo- rable 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 unjustihable bigotry and by bungltng! But the age is bettering. Men and meth ' ods are improving. A few years ago 1t was \ worth one's professional life to advise or per nit the use of proprietary medicine. To- \ day there are not two physicians in any town ! in this country who do not regularly pre- scribe 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 Cab | in days; after long and patient research he \ succeeded in securing some of the most val 4SOO~~~1 s~-N S->-~ \ Warner's Log Cabin Remedies-the simple ! preparations of roots, leaves, balsams and \ herbs which were the successful standbys of | our grandmothers. These simple, old-fash- toned sarsaparills. hops and buchu, cough | and consumption and other remedies have | struck popular chord and are in extraordi- | nary demand all over the land. They arc | not the untried and imaginary remedies of | some dabster chemist intent on making mon | ey, but the long sought principles of the ' healing art which for generations kept our
 ancestors in perfect health, put forth for the \ good of humanity by one who is known all over the world as 8 philanthropist- lover \ of his fellow msn-whose name is 8 guaran- \ tee 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 incslculable ser vice in ridding France of the bigoted and murdereus Marat, just as this man is doing humanity 8 service by re-introducing to the world the simpler and better methods of our ancestors.
