The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-10-13
A Claim to Human gratitude.

Charlotte Corlay, tho sad-faced, tender.
hearted peasant girl Of Normany, made
great history by one desperate actl
Bickened by the saturnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robcsperre and Mnrat were leading the
flowor Of France to tho guillotinc, sho dc.
tcrmined that she would put an end u
Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotinel
He proposed TO kill of the enemies Of the
Revolution to make It perpetuall
Horrible thought
No wonder IL fired the blood Of this patrl-
otic peasant maid
Gaining access to his closely-guarded
quarters by subterfuge, she found him in
his bath, even then inexorable and giving
written directions for further slaughteri
He asked her the names Of the inimich a
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, aud he wrote them down.
"That is welli Before week is over
they shall all be brought to the guillotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged 1t with su-
pernatural force up to the hilt In the heart Of
Marat.
"Come to mo, my dear friend, come To
me-" cried Marat, and expired under the
blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
famous painting of Charlotte, represented
MS behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow
for her suffering country,and of unconqucr-
able hatc for her country's enemies
Whata lesson in this tragic storyl Two
hundred. nay, five hundred thousand peo.
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his un-
noly passion of power!
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page of history is full Of murders by
authority and by mistaken IDEAS In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun
dreds of millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by unjustitiable
bigotry and by bungling
But the age is bettering. Men and meth
DDS are improving. A few years ago it was
worth ones professional life to advise or
permit the use of q proprietary medicine.
To-day there are not two physicians in any
town in this country who do not regular
ly prescribe some form OF proprietary rem
edy!
Il. II. Warner, famed all over the world
as the discoverer Of Warmers safe cure,
began hunting up tho old remedies Of the
Log Cabin days; after long and patient re-
search he succeeded in securing some of the
most valuable, among family records, and
called them Warmers Log Cabin remedies
the simple preparations Of roots, leaves,
balsams and herbs which were the sue
cessful standbys Of our grandmoth-
ers. These simple, old-fashioned sar-
saparilla, hops and buchu, cough
and consumption and other remedies have
struck popular chord and are in extra
ordinary demand all over the land. They
are not tho untried and imaginary remedies
of some dabster chemist intent on making
money, but the long-sought principles of the
healing art which for generations kept our
ancestors in perfect health, put forth for the
good Of humanity by one who is known oil
over the world Us phllanthropist-a lover
OF his fellow man,-whose name is q guaran-
tee of the highest standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in the
hands Of our grandmothers they raised up
the sick, cured the lame, and bound up the
wounds Of death, 80 in their new form but
oldcn power as Log Cabin remedies, they
are sure to prove the "healing of the ma
tions."
Corday did the world an incalculable sorv-
ice in ridding France OF the bigoted and
murderous Marat, just US this man is doing
humanity service by re-introducing to the
world the simpler and better methods Of
our ancestors.
