"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old
Time Simnlicities.

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctorlng
Old Time" 1t represents typical
old-timer, with his bellows, blowing
the dust from an ancient clock, with
it's cords and weights carefully secured.
One of these clocks in this generation
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-"Oid Time Doctoring."
We learn, through a reliable source,
that one Of the enterprising proprie-
tary medicine firms of the country, has
been for years investigating the form
ulas and medical preparations used in
he beginning of this century, and
even before, with view of ascertain
'ns why people in our grandfathers'
time enjoyed a health and physical Wig
or so seldom found in the present gen.
GRAFTON. They now think they have
secured the secret or secrets. They
find that the prevailing opinion that
then existed, that Mature has rene
dy for every existing disorder" was
true, and acting under this 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 discarded, as remedial
agents because of the difficulty of OBJ.
tanning them.
I'll. IL. Warner, proprietor OF Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner
observatory, Rochester, N. y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direc-
ton, 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.
They will, We learn, be known under
the general title Of Warmers Log Cab
in remedies Among these medicines
will be a "sarsaparllla," for the blood
and liver, clog Cabin hops and buchu
remedy" for the stomach, ETC., 'sLog
Cabin cough and consumption rene
dy," LOG Cabin hair tonic," "Log
Cabin extract" for internal and ex-
ternal use, and an old valuable discove-
ry for catarrh, called :"Log Cabin rose
cream. Among the list is also a''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 diseases with one preparation.
1t is believed by many that with these
remedies a new era is to dawn upon
suffering humanity and that the close
of the nineteenth century will see
these roots and herbs, as compounded
under the title of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies, as popular as they were at
its beginning. 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 pub
lie has great confidence in any rene
dies put up by the firm of which II. H.
Warner is the head. The people have
become suspicious of the effects of
doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few
realize the injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many modern ply
siclans. These effects of poisonous
drugs. already prominent, will become
more pronounced in coming genera
tions. Therefore we can cordially wish
the old-fashioned new remedies the
best of success.
