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

In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine Illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as ''Doctoring
Old Time" It 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 as rare relic.
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time. brings to our mind another YER
sion of the title, used for another pur>
pose-"Old Time Doctoring.
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country, has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begins
ming of this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our grest>grandfsther 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 remedy for every existing dis
order" was true, and acting under the
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 medical agents be
cause of the difficulty of obtaining them.
II. Fl. Warner proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatOry, Rochester n. Y. has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
| formulas, from which his firm is now pre-
| pairing medicines, to be sold by all drug
gists
| They will, we learn be known under
the general title of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies" Among these medicines will
be "sarsaparilla," for the blood and

cough and consumption remedy" Log
Cabin hair tonic, Log Csbin extract, u
for internal and external use, and an old
| valuable discovery for catarrh called
LOG Cabin rose cream" Among the
list is also Log Cabin plaster" and q
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, II is
believed by many that with these rene.
dies new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity and that the close of the nine
teenth century will see these roots anC
herbs, as compounded under the title o
Warmers Log Cabin remedies. as popula
as they were at It's beginning. Although
they come in the form of proprietary
medicines, yet they will be none the les
welcome, for suffering humanity has be
come tired of modern doctoring and the
public has great confidence in any rene
dies put up by the firm of which W. H
Warner is the head. The people have be
come suspicious of the effects of doctor
ing with poisonous drugs. Few realiz
the injurious effects following the pre-
scriptions of many modern physicians
These effects of poisonous drugs, alread
prominent, will become more pronounce
in coming generations, Therefore we ca
cordially wish the old fashioned ne'
remedies the best of success.
