How seth Warner Won a Wife and
Became Famous.

famous hero of the revolutionary war,

These titles were disputed by the state
of New York, aud its authorities obtained
an edict of the King of England in their
favor. The settlers were stung by the
supposed injustice. This state of things
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the

actively opposed every effort of the New

sary that some one should go into that
state and gain required information. Col.

aud romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped at
a country inn, where an old gentleman
and daughter were storm-bound. The
father fell i'll and the daughter called
upon Col. Warner, who, with his wide
knowledge of simple remedies, success
fully treated the ''old man, and he finals

Such incidents were not uncommon in
those years. When the doctor was not
easily reached, months of sickness, and
even life were often saved by some IN
professional friend versed in the use of

early settlers and their powers of endur-

to work as much injury to the system as
would the disease itself.
In time of peace the colonel was in
constant demand for his knowledge of
simple remedies and their power over dis
ease. But it was left to another of his
name of the presen. age to give to the
public what was then used with such pos
tive success.
Warner for over hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration
of the American people.
