"DOCTORINo OLD TIME"
A Striking PIcture--A Revival OF Old Time
Simpllcities.

In one Of Ilarper's issues Is given a very
fine illustration OF Roberts celebrated
painting, known as "Doctoring Old Time"
1t represents "a 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 gen
Grafton is appreciated only az rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time,n brings to our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose
''Old Time Doctoring.n
We learn, through reliable source, that
one OF the enterp"lslng proprietary medi
cine firms of the country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and medi-
cal preparations used in the beginning Of
this century and even before, with view
OF ascertaining why people in our great
grandfather's tine enjoyed 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
hcting under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants. Con-
tnual trespass upon the forest domain, has
made these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization, un-
iii they have been discarded, as remedial
gents because of the difficulty Of obtain
ing them.
ii. H. Warner, proprietor Of Warmers
cafe cure and founder Of the Warner OBJ
fervatory, Rochester, n. y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals OF old family histories, un-
til he has secured some very valuable for
mulas, from which his firm is now prepar-
ing medicines, TO be sold by all druggists.
They will we learn, be known under the
general title of warmers Log Cabin rem
edies.n Among these medicines will be
"sarsaparillan 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 external use and an old valuable dis
covery for Catarrh, called Log Cabin rose
cream" Among the st is also Log
Cabin plaster and "a Log Cabin liver
pill"
From the number Of remedies, il Will be
/ seen that they do not propose TO cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
! leved by many that with these remedies
| new era is TO GAVIN upon suffering human
/ ity 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 human ty has become tired OF
modern docto-ing and the pnblic has great
! confidence in any remedies 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 physi-
clans. These effects of poisonous drugs,
tlready prolninent, will become more pro-
nounced in coming generations Therefore
we can cordially W sh the old fashioned
new remedies the best OF success.
