THROUGH THE FOREST.
The Old and Young Danced All Night
Our Hardy Ancestors.
Old men live in the past.


Perhaps it would be better for the
young men Of the present, If they
lived little bit more in the past and
drew less on the future.
The log cabins OF primitive times
would seem very cherries habita-
tons to the people who live in the
finely constructed, furnace heated
mansions Of today. But our grand
parents took great deal of comfort
in these rude homes.
They were rugged and healthy.
The linen had stalwart and hardy
frames, and the women were free
from the modern ailments that make
the sex Of today practically helpless
slaves to hired foreign help.
White-haired grandsires frequently
took their life partners and on horse
back and rode q score Of miles
through the forests to enjoy the live
ly pleasures Of frontier ball, danced
till daylight, rode home again in the
early morning, then put in a good
days work.
Middle-aged folks Of To-day couldn't
stand that sort Of a racket.
To these mud-chinked log cabins
doctors visits were a rarity. The in
habitants lived to rugged and green
old age.
Sometimes these log cabin old
timers were taken ill. They were
not proof against the exposures to
which they were subjected. They
found the effective remedies for these
common ailments in the roots and
herbs which grew in the neigh
boring forests and fields. They had
learned that nature has a cure for
every i'll. These potent remedies as
sisted their sturdy frames to quickly
throw off disease and left no poison
in the system.
The unpleasant feature of modern
practice with mineral medicine is
the injurious after effect on the sys-
tenn. May not modern physical de-
generacy be due to this feature?
A drug-saturated system is not in
natural, consequently not in q
healthy, state. fany of the main
organs are clogged with traces of the
mineral poisons used to drive out a
particular disease, the whole machin-
cry of life is deranged and early de-
) cay of natural powers is the inevi-
table result.
There can be no question that REM
edies from the laboratory of nature
are the best. If they are as effica-
, cious, they have the advantage of
ledring no after sting.
: Their efficacy, if properly COM
pounded, and the proper remedy APP
D piled to the proper disease, will not
be doubted. The experience of age
proves it.
Their disuse has come about prin-
cipally through the rapid congrega-
ton Of people in cities and villages,
rendering these natural remedies
, difficult to obtain. Progressive bust
ness enterprise has lately led to put
ting these old time remedies in reach
8 of all classes.
> The proprietors of Warmers safe
remedies, in the faith that the peo-
; pie of today would be benefited by
using the simple remedies of log cabin
days, have caused Investigations to
!, be made and secured formulas of q
) number of those which long and
successful use had proved to be most
: valuable.
