"DOCTORiNG OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival OF Old
Time SImplicities.

In one of Harper's issues is given
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
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
cold 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 begin
ming of this tcentury, and even before,
with 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 dis
order" was true, and acting under this
belief, our grandparents used the COM
mon herbs and plants. Continual tres
pass 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 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 direction,
into the annals of old family histories,
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 Cabin
remedies" Among these medicines will
be a "sarsaparilla,' for the blood and
liver, clog Cabin hops and buchu rem
edy," for the stomach, ETC., LOG Cabin
cough and consumption remedy" LOG
Cabin hair tonic, ," log Cabin extract"
or 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
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
believed by manyttEatsWith these rem
edieg q new era is to dawn upon suffer
ing humanity and that the close of the
nineteenth century VIII see these roots
and herbs, as compounded under the title
OF Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as pop
ular as they were at its beginning. Al
though they come in the fom of pro-
prietary 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
II. II. Warner is the head. The people
have become suspicious of the effects OF
doctoring with poisonous drngs. Few
realize the injurious effects following the
/ prescriptions of many modern physicians.
! These effects of poisonous drugs, already
! prominent, Will become more pronounced
/ in coming generations. Therefore We can
/ cordially wish the old-fashioned new
remedies the best Of success.
