"DooroR1Na OLD TIME,
A Striking Picture-A Revival Of Old
Time Simplicities.

A Striking Picture-A Revival OF Did
Time Simplicities.
In one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts cele-
brated painting, known as "Doctoring
Old Time" 1t represents a typica'
old.timer, with his bellows, bl)wlng
the dust from an ancient clock. with
its cords and weights carefully ST.
cured. One Of these clocks IN this gen.
Grafton is appreciated only as rare
relic.
The suggestive name. "Doctoring
Old Time,' brings to Our mind another
version of the title, used for another
purpose-"Old Time Doctoring,''
We learn, through reliable source,
that one OF the euterprisiug proprietary
medicine irms Of The country, has been
Tor years Investigating She formulas
and medical preparations used in the
beginning Of this century, and even be-
fore. with a view of ascertalu'ng Why

They now think they have Secured chs
secret or secrets. They find that the
prevailing opinion that then existed,
that INA ure has a remedy for every
existing disorder" was true, and acting
under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants.
Continual trespass upon the forest do.
main has made these herbs less ahund-
ant aud has driven them further from
civilization, until they have been dis
carded, as remedial agents because of
the difficulty of obtaining them,
III. FL. Warner, proprietor Of War
ner's safe cure aud founder Of the War
ner observatory, Rochester, N. Y. has
been pressing Investigations in this di-
rection, 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 "{Farner's Log
Cabin remedies Among these medi-
cine will be 'sarsapariila," for the
blood and liver, clog Cabin hops and
buchu remedy" for the stomach, ETC.,
LOG CABIN cough and consumption
remed,,'' LOG Cabin hair tonic, "
*tLog Cabin extract" for internal and
external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called ''Log Cabin
rose cream" Among the list is also a
"Log Cabin plaster" and la LOG CABIN
liver pill.'
From the number of remedies. it will
be seen that they do not propose tocure
ali diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by many that with these rene
dies a new era is to dawn upon suffer-
ing humanity and that the close Of the
nineteenth century will see these roots
and herbs, as compounded under the
title of Warmers Log Cabin remedies,
as popular as they were aC the Degln-
ing. Although they come in the form
of proprietary medicines, yet they will
be none the less welcome, for suffering
humanity has become tired of modern
doctoring and the public has great con-
tidence in any remedies put up by the
firm of which III. Fl. Warner is the
head. The people have become sus-
picious OF the effects of doctoring with
poisonous drugs. Few realize the in
furious effects following the prescrip-
tions of many modern physicians.
These effects Of poisonoas drugs, al
ready prominent, will become more
pronounced in coming generations.
Therefore we can cordially wish the
o|d-fashioned new remedies the best Of
SUCCESS.
