CLAIM TO HUMAN CIR ATTITUDE

CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE
Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced,
tender-h hearted peasant girl of Nor
mandy made great history by one
desperate act!
Sickened by the saturnalia of the
French revolution, and moved to
DESPERATION as Robespierre and Marat
were leading the flower of France to
the guillotine, she determined that
she would put an end to Marat's
bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guillotine!
He proposed to kill off the enc
mics of the Revolution to make it
perpetual!
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood of
this patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guard
ed quarters by subterfuge, she
found him in his bath, even then
memorable and giving written direc-
tions for futher slaughter!
He asked her the names of the
inimical deputies who had taken
refuge in Caen. She told him, and
he wrote them down. "That is we'll!
Before a week is over they shall all
be brought to the guillotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew
from her bosom the knife, and
plunged it with supernatural force up
to the hilt in the heart of Marat
"Come to me, my dear friend,
come to me-" cried Marat, and
expired under the blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Wash
ington is famous painting of Char
fotte, represented as behind the prison
bars the day before her execution.
It is thrilling, sad picture, full
of sorrow for her suffering country,
and of unconquerable hate for her
country's enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story!
Two hundred, nay, five hundred
thousand people would Marat have
sacrificed to his unholy passion of
power!
Methods are quite as murderous
and memorable as men, and they
number their victims by the mil
lions.
The page of history is full of
murders by authority and by mista-
ken ideas! In the practice of medi-
cine alone how many hundreds of
millions have been allowed to die
and as many more killed by
unjustifable bigotry and by bung-
ling!
But the age is lettering. Men
and methods are improving. A few
years ago it was worth ones profess
sional life to advise or permit the use
OF proprietary medicine To-day
there are not two physicians in any
town in this country who do not
regularly prescribe some form of pro-
prietary remedy!
H. III. Warner, famed all over
the world as the discoverer of War
ner's safe cure, began hunting the
old remedies of the Log Cabin days;
after long and patient research 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 successful standbys
of our grandmothers. These simple,
old-fashioned sarsaparilla, hops and
buehu, cough and consumption and
other remedies have struck popular
chord and are in extraordinary de-
mand all over the land. They are
not the untried and imaginary reme-
dies of some dabster chemist intent
on making money, but the long
sought principles of the healing art
which for generations kept our an
cestors in perfect health, put forth
for the good of humanity by one
who is known all over the world as
philanthropist-a lover of his fell
low man-whose name is a guaran-
tee of the highest standard of excel
lence.
The preparations are of decided
and known influence oyer disease,
and as in the hands of our grand
mothers they raised up the sick, cur
ed the lame, and bound up the
wounds of death, so in their new
form but olden power as Log Cabin
remedies, they are sure to prove the
"healing of the nations.0
Corday did the world an incalcu-
liable service in Kidding France of
the bigoted and murderous Marat,
just as this man IS doing humanity a.
service By re-introducing to the
world the simpler and better meth
