"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
a Striking Picture--A Revival OF Old
Time Simpiicities.

In one OF Harper's issues is given n
very fine illustration OF Roberts cele-
brated old painting, known as Doctor
ing Old Time" 1t represents typical
old-timer, with his bellows blowing the
dust from an ancient clock, with its
cords and weights carefully secured.
One OF these clocks in this generation
is appreciated only rs 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 cntcrprising proprietary
medicine firms OF the country has been
for years investigating the formulas
and medical preparations used in the
beginning Of this century, and even be-
fore, with n view Of ascertaining 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
prevailing opinion that then existed,
that Mature has a remedy for every
existing disorder was true, and acting
under this belief, our grandparents used
the common herbs and plants. Contin-
ual trespass upon the forest domain has
made these herbs less abundant and
has driven them further from civiliza-
tion, until they have been discarded as
remedial agents because OF the difficulty
OF obtaining them.
II. Ii. Warner. proprietor Of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direc-
tion. into the annals of old family his
tories, until he has secured some very
valuable formulas, from which his firm
is now preparing medicines, to be sold
by all druggists.
0They will, we learn, be known under
the general title of warmers Log
Cabin remedies" Among these medi-
cines will be ''sarsaparilla,n for the
blood and liver, Log Cabin hops and
buchu remedy" for the stomach, ETC.,
Log Cabin cough and consumption
remedy, ""Log Cabin hair tonic" )" Log
Cabin extract for internal and exter-
nal use, and an old valuable discovery
for catarrh, called LOG Cabin rose
cream" Among the list is also Log
Cabin plaster and Log Cabin liver
pill"
From the number of remedies, it will
be seen that they do not propose to cure
all diseases with one PREPARATION. 1t is
believed by many that with these reme-
ulcS d new eTd Is 10 uaWn upon
suffering humanity and that the
close of the nineteenth century
will see these roots and herbs,
as compounded under the title of War
ner's Log Cabin remedies. as popular
as they were at Its beginning. Although
they come in the form of proprieta ry
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. II. Warner is the head. The
people have become suspicious Of the
effects of doctoring with poisonous
drugs. Few realize the injurious ef-
fects following the prescriptions of
many modern physicians. These ef-
fects of poisonous drugs, already promi-
ncnt, will become more pronounced in
coming generations. Therefore we can
cordially wish the old-fashioned new
remedies the best OF success.
