A CLAIM TO HUMAN graf
TUDE.
Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced
tender-hearted peasant girl OF Nor.
mandy made great history by one
desperate act!
Sickened by the saturnalia of the
French revolution, and moved to des-
peration 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 enemies
of the Revolution to make it per-
petual!
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood of this
patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely
guarded quarters by a subterfuge, she
found him in his bath, even then in
exorable and giving written directions
Fer further slaughter!
He asked her the names of the
inimical deputies who had taken
refuge in Caen. She told him, and
he w1Dte them down. "That is well!
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 ex-
pired under tho blowl
In the Corcoran gallery at. WASH
ington is famous painting of Char
lotte, represented as behind the prison
bars the day before her exec136l.
It is . thrilling, sad pict1ee, 1nll of
SORROW for her suffering coqnfYt and
of unconque1able hate for hGg coun-
try's enemies.
What . lesson in this tragic storyl
Two hundred, nay, five hundred
thousand people would Marat have
sacrificed to his unholy passion Of
powerl
Methods are quite as murderous
and inexorable 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 hundreds of millions have been
allowedl to die and a. many more
killed by unjustiiable bigotry and by
bunglingl
But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years
ago it was worth ones professional
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 proprietary

worldyas the discoverer of Warmers
safe cure, began hunting up the old
remedies Of the Log Cabin days; after
long and patient research he sue
ceeded in securing some of the most
valuable, among family records, and
called them Warmers Log Cabin rem
edies- the simple preparations of
roots. leaves, balsams and herbs
which were the successful standbys
Of our grandmothers. These simple,
old-fashioned sarsapariAa, hops and
buchu, cough and consumption and
other remedies have struck q popu-
lar chord and are in extraordinary
demand all over the land. They are
not the untried and imaginary rem
edies 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
all over the world as q philantropist i
"A lover of his fellow man,-whose
name is . guarantee Of the highest
standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided |
and known influence over disease,
and a. in the hands of our grand |
mothers they raised up the sick, |
cured the lame, and bound up the |
wounds Of death, 90 in their new |
form but olden power as Log Cabin
they are sure to prove the
healing Of the nations"
