A Striking Pfcture-A Revival of old
 T1me simplIcItfes.
 In one of Harper's issues is given Q very fine illustration of Roberts, celebrated paint ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time" It represents typical old-timer, with his bel lows, blowing the dust from an aheient clock, with it's cords and weights carefully secured. One of these clocks in this genera ton is appreciated only as rare relic.
 The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old Time," brings to our mind another version of the title, used for another purpose-"Old Time Doctoring."
 We learn, through reliable source, that one of the enterprising proprietary medicine firms of the country has been for years in vestigating the formulas and medical prepa- l rations used in the beginning of this centu- ry, and even before, with 8 view of ascer- | taining why people in our great-grandfath- l ers' time enjoyed g health and physical vigor SO seldom found in the present generation. I They now think they have secured the se- l cret or secrets. They find that the prevail | ing opinion that then existed, that "Nature has 8 remedy for every existing disorder, was true, and acting under this belief, our l grandparents used the common herbs and plants. Continual trespass upon the forest 1 domain has made these herbs less abundant 1 and has driven them further from eiviliza- | tion, until they have been discarded as reme- { dial agents because of the difficulty of ob
 taining them.
 H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warner's safe | cure and founder of the Warner observatory, Rochester, N. Y., has been pressing investi- | gations in this direction into the annals of old family histories, until he has secured some very valuable formulas, from which his
 firm is now preparing medicines. to be sold by all druggists.
 They will, we learn, be know under the general title of 'sWarner's Log Cabin reme- dies" Among these medicines will be 8
 "sarsaparilla, i" for the blood and liver, s'Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for the sto mach, etc., "Log Cabin cough and censump- tion remedy" "Log Cabin hair tonic, i" ''Log Cabin extract, ," for internal and external use, called "Log Cabin rose cream" Among the list is also ''Log Cabin plaster" and a 'Log Cabin liver pill"
 From the number of remedies it will be
 seen that they do not propose to cure all dis | eases with one preparation. It is believed 1 by many that with these remedies a new era l is to dawn upoR suffering humanity, and | that the close of the nineteenth century will see these roots and herbs, compounded
 under the title of Warmers Log Cabin reme- dies, as popular as they were at it's begin | ming. Although they come in the form of proprietary medicines, yet they will be none ] the less welcome, for suffering humanity has
 become tired of modern doctoring and the public has great confidence in any remedies put up by the firm of which H. H. Warner
 Is the head. The people have become suspi- cious of the effects of doctoring with poi
 sonous drugs. Few realize the injurious ef-
 fects following the prescriptions of many
 modern physicians. These effects of poi sonous drugs, already prominent, will be-
 come more pronounced in coming genera tions. Therefore we can cordially wish the oldsfashioned new remedies the best of suc- \ eeas
