A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO
How Seth Warner Won a Wife and
Became Famous.

Colonel Seth Warner. of Vermont, the
famous hero of the Revolutionary war, was
a leading fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the State of
New York, and its authorities obtained an
ediet of the King of England in their favor.
The settlers were stung by the supposed in
justice. This state of things brought Colo
mel Seth Warner TO the front. With Ethan
Allen and others, he actively opposed every
effort of the New York state authorities to
enforce possession, and finally he, with Allen
and others were outlawed and price put on
their heads
To circumvent New York it was necessary
that some one should go into that state and
gain required information. Col. Warner,
assuming for safety the name of ''Dr. How
ard" undertook this perilous and romantic
journey.
While on his way home he stopped at a
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were storhi-bound. The father
fell i'll and the daughter called upon Col
Warner, who, with his wide knowledge of
simple remedies, successfully treated the
"old man," and he finally won this devoted
woman for wife
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 unpro-
fessional friend versed in the use of simple
herbs and roots. The health of early set
tiers and their powers of endurance con-
vince us that such medicines did only good
and left no poison in the blood to work as
much injury to the system as would the
disease itself.
In times of peace the colonel was in con-
slant demand for his knowledge of simple
remedies and their power over disease. But
it was left to another of his name of the
present age to give to the public what was then
used with such positive success.
Warner for over a hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration
of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to a family
of wide distinction; no less than eight MEM
bers thereof won fame in the regular prac
tice of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people of
this generation of the old time simple reme-
dies. his direct descendant, ii. ii. Warner,
the well-known proprietor of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been experimenting
with old time roots and herbs formula and,
his search having been finally rewarded with
success, he gives the world the result.
These recipes and formula III 0tner days
accomplished great things because they were
purely vegetable and combined simply so as
to cure the disease indicated. without injury
to the system. In harmony with
their old time character, We learn
that he proposes to call them
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, using as
trademark an oldfashioned American log
cabin. We understand that he intends to
put forth "sarsaparilla,' for the blood, the
sarsaparilla itself being but one of a number
of simple and effective elements; LOG Cab
in hops and buchu," general stomach tonic
and invigorator; LOG Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy" Warmers Log Cabin
hair tonc;" preparation for that universal
disease catarrh called LOG Cabin rose
cream" Warmers Log Cabin plasters;"
and Warmers Log Cabin liver pills" which
are to be used in connection with the other
remedies, or independently as required
Warmers safe remedies are already STAN
dards of the most pronounced scientific value
in all parts of the world, and we have no
doubt the Log Cabin remedies, for the dis
eases they are intended to cure, will be of
equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the reputa
ton of connecting his name with no prepare
ton that is not meritorious.
